| Like many, I always had problem with Falstaff. As a matter of fact, I SPed one already. This one was waiting for a replacement before it left. However, it seems it got its act togather, at least for the spring flush. Lets see how it does with rebloom.

| wanttogarden--I love your photos, but you do know that failing to name the roses is grounds for getting banned from this forum, don't you? : ) Especially the big overgrown blue flowering plant--what is it? I don't think we grow anything like that here in Kansas. Kate |

| Kate: I did not know that. But all the roses are Falstaff. I tried to show both bush and blooms in varies stages. The rose in the background which is full of bud is Jubilee Celebration. I have forgotten which Iris it is, but I thought it was a great color combo with burgundy red. The purple/blue bush is referred to as potato plant; forgot the scientific name. It grows like a weed here. I cannot kill it even if I tried. Trust me, I have tried. Short of digging the roots out, it will come back. It is kind of frost sensitive, but only looses the leaves and flowers. My gardener hate them. He has to shape them every month. Look good in the pictures though. \ FJ |

| Thanks everyone for the compliments. MsJam: The yellow rose is actually tree yellow roses: Golden Celebration on the right, the tall one in the middle, with red fringe is Strike it Rich, and Julia Childe on the left. FJ |
