 My 7 year old son took this pic of the roses surrounding the veggie garden.

| Oh, you've got some really nice ones there--lots of climbers too. Love that. Nice to have such an able assistant! Kate |
|
| Ohhh, how great to have those roses surrounding your vegetable garden. Beauty within and without! Wish I could take a good deep breath of Angel Face. Went to a local nursery last month that carried Angel Face, and I searched and searched through the 5 bushes for the healthiest one I could find. Not the best, but I'm going to do all I can to pull it though. |
|
| Wow. Very impressive. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. And the gardener and son are definitely the stars of the show!!! Great photos taken by you both! :-) |

| You have some nice ones there. The Pinata is quite colorful. |

| Thanks so much for the nice comments. I appreciate the mutual love for gardening. I agree on the Angel Face...amazing scent...mine was a rescue "gift" from Walmart that a neighbor gave me...which I reluctantly took because I disliked mauve. It was in terrible shape..I put in in a crappy shaded location thinking it was doomed....and it has flourished ever since like nothing I have ever seen. Still waiting to plant some from spring orders, like Darlow's Enigma (#2), Cornelia and others...& I was recently generously given a few rarer ones ( old heirlooms & musks) by a local rosarian and will post the progression on those...very excited. |

| Ya know...a really cool thing you might do with DARLOW'S ENIGMA is to shape into a white flowering tree while it is still young. I did that and try to keep it shaped like that. Very nice looking white blooming tree out in the garden. Love it because DARLOW is a profuse bloomer! :-) |

| Amazing rose bushes! Your Pinata with the clematis is a beautiful combination. I love those colors. |

| Thanks everybody. Love seeing all the posts of people's roses. Despite the horrid tornadic storms in the Midwest, this is one of the coolest, wettest spring seasons I have seen since moving here from the east coast 12 years ago. The roses have exploded in growth, bloom, and, unfortunately, black spot...o, well! :-) |

| Neptune is gorgeous! How old is she? What do you feed her? Thanks for sharing your photos. Susan |
