Oh Renee your garden shots are gorgeous. I love to see whole bed and yard shots and yours are beautiful. I know what you mean about the heat. We have had temps in the 90's, lots of high 90's for over a month now and I am sick of it. Plus hardly any rain to boot. grrrr...... We finally got a couple rain showers this past week and supposed to be in the 80's for a couple days so I am going to enjoy the "cool spell" ha ha!! Your roses on your arbor looks like its doing great. Your yard kinda reminds me of mine, lots of different beautiful flowers EVERYWHERE!! Thats how I like it. Thanks for sharing, Judy

This looks like my dream garden; it has a little bit of everything. I really love little creeping plants in-between the pavers.

What a gorgeous garden, Renee. If you wanted to see crispy you should have seen my roses after the recent hot spell. It would have made you very happy about yours. I'm going to show pictures of your Cl. Pinkie to mine to make it mend its ways. Lots of mildew this spring and little bloom, but it's in morning shade and afternoon sun which roses hate. I'm sure your Bishop's Castle will bounce back; it's such a gorgeous rose. I love mine.

Thanks for all these lovely pictures. I too adore garden shots; it's so satisfying to see the whole picture, especially when it's as pretty as yours.

Ingrid, mine got mildew early in the year but bloomed anyway. Unfortunately, I have the "morning shade afternoon sun" problem in much of my garden- tall trees on the east side, fences on the west. Who planned out this garden, anyway?
Renee

I just adore your cl. Pinkie!!! What a joy that must be to have in your garden!!! Is there fragrance too? I doubt it. Doesn't look like the type that would. But it looks heavenly!!!
