Wow. Beautiful. I can't believe all those things blooming at once. How cool is that? Doesn't happen in my garden. Sigh...

Just lovely, Renee! I love the alstroemeria mixed in with the roses. So gorgeous.

Wow, I am in love with the way the garden is designed. It is absolute perfection with the Alstromera (boo hoo! I can't grow any here ;-( ), Iris, and foxglove. That Perdita rose is amazing. But then again I have a weakness for peach/apricot roses, even more so if they are DA's!!

Thanks to both you and your mom for the garden tour! ;-)

That's an astonishingly lovely display. Please give your Mom my compliments. I love how she's combined the colors so harmoniously. Yves Piaget is one of my great favorites and I can't wait for mine to bloom.

really beautiful. It reminds me of the garden at the house I grew up in. I love perdita and heaven on earth, they have been added to my wish list. The garden looks so rich and dreamy.

Stunning.

Yves Piaget is my favorite rose, and my husband couldn't get the rose pot into the garage last year. The pot had frozen to the ground. He got all of my other roses in, but not my absolute favorite. It's so nice to see your mom's Yves Piaget. Isn't it huge!!!!

I tried Heaven on Earth once. It sure didn't look like that. It might have gotten better over time, but it died in my great rose die off.

I can't believe how gorgeous it all looks!!! Wow!!

Not a trace of disease on your rose leaves. What fungicide do you use? Heaven on Earth is striking with new and old blooms? Does it last long on the bush?

For Deesj: Perdita can be purchased through Roses Unlimited (don't e-mail them, just call).

For Hosenemesis: Lovely pictures - I enjoy them all. How would you describe the fragrance of Perdita (it won an award). Is is prickly all over? Is there enough space between the thorns to be cut without wearing gloves? I got pricked badly so I have to be careful about cutting roses for vase.

Many thanks.
