| It's too cold and windy to garden today. I must be content with pictures only. Of course, I did my coffee walk earlier. So, here are a few more from recent, warmer days.
French Lace
Westerland is just beginning,
English Sachet, with only very mild scent, is heat tolerant (when you have heat)
Tuscan Sun, newer and a real favorite,
Morden Blush loves the cool,
Midnight Blue, just moved to a sunnier spot, first bloom. The blooms are quite small and darker than the photo.
Manyo, a Japanese rose,

| Everything looks great. Your picture of Tuscan Sun put that rose on my "must have" list. Please tell me how well the bush grows. What foliage I see is beautiful. |

| Ken, it grows to about 4 plus feet and is narrower than wide. It is pretty full, not bare on the bottom. It took a while to establish--I think it was not getting enough water the first season. It is great now. In the heat, it fades but it isn't an ugly fade like so many others. Snowheather, a GW friend sent it to me. I don't know where it may be available. |

| Gorgeous! Love that MANYO. Wish it was available somewhere. Where did you get yours? Are you as totally sick of the cold wet weather as I am? I wish spring would get here already. I want warmth and dryness! And BLOOMS! |

| Wow!! English Sachet is gorgeous - by far my fav of your roses!!!! Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! Manyo and Tuscan Sun are amazing too!! I didn't realize that Westerland had such pretty blooms. I've always liked Morden Blush. When we moved to our new house, there was a tiny (3 inches tall) rose stem that was struggling to grow under the thick rock mulch in the early spring. I recognized it as a rose, and had my husband dig it out (tree roots everywhere) and I potted it. It managed to grow a little, and I realized it was Morden Blush. It sure was one tough rose to survive where it was. It's really nice to see yours - it's such a beautiful rose bush!!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!! |

| French Lace is beautiful! And love the way Tuscan Sun faded. |
