Tammy, you made me smile as earlier this week I came inside all mad because 3/4 of one of my azaleas had been mowed down. I complained to my husband and started heading to my sons back bedroom to tell him how mad I am, when my husband stopped me in my tracks and confessed! (He was hoping I wouldn't notice as it was just the last one in a row of identicals!)
Wonderful pictures, hard to pick a favorite, but I'm becoming more and more anxious to buy my first rose similar to your Rosa Rugosa Alba, I starting to love everyones pictures of this single petal type rose. Your gardens are lovely!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has problems with husbands! I think he was hoping I wouldn't notice...the giveaway was that the metal name plate that was in the ground next to Eyeconic Pink Lemonaide was nowhere to be found either. I probably wouldn't have noticed it was gone for a while longer, except the big pile of mulch that I had a round it blew his cover!

Rosa Rugosa Alba is a great rose. HMF says it has an occational repeat, but mine repeats very well. If you look on the very left of the last picture you can see a shot of the entire bush...and thats only 3 years ownroot!

Your roses are lovely, Tammy, and I think your beds look wonderful! Don't worry about Eyeconic, it'll come back. That Red Sweetheart is very unusual!

Nice pictures. A question, is your Claire Rose really Claire Rose, or is it Claire Austin? Claire Rose is normally a light pink; Claire Austin is a white with a pale yellow cast. Is something really off-color?

Thanks Seil, they are a work in process :) I almost dug the rest of Eyeconic up, but decided to give it a fair shot to come back. It's grafted, and I can' tell how far down he hit it, but I usually plant fairly deep, so it may be ok...crossing fingers!

Bustopher...yes, you're correct its Claire Austin! With over 400 roses sometimes I lose track of what I have and don't have! I actually had to check my list on HMF :)

Tammy

Red Sweetheart and Pompon Veranda are especially adorable, but they are all crisp and lovely for what must be a very hot season for you. I can't imagine taking care of 400 roses! Love the bee, too. Thanks for posting your photos. Diane

What a beautiful garden, thank you for the tour. How's the fragrance on Claire Austin?

Your roses and companions look lovely, wonderful colors and blooms.

Wow, Tammy! Your garden is lovely. It must keep you so busy....but so worth it. I have to have Ascot. That rose is just my kind of rose. I hope I can find it. I want to thank you for the garden shots. I loved them. It is so helpful to see the entire scene your garden creates...and gives me ideas to do in my own garden. This has been my worst year of gardening, ever. Our 100 plus temps have done in almost everything. And gophers have eaten every lily bulb. I lift out stems every morning....bulb gone. Seeing your beautiful garden has been a treat! Lesley in Louisville, KY.

So many lovely roses, but I'm most intrigued by Ascot--must check that one out more closely!

And your gardens are looking so promising--can't wait to see them mature. You must keep us updated with photos.

What a beautiful garden and nature space you have, and so much space to work with, how fun! I'm loving your St. Patrick and Apertif, so pretty :)

Beautiful pictures every one,..and you have a great amount of garden space,..you certainly have completed a lot of work,..despite the husband accident,..likewise with "mzstitch",..in my case i have only the dogs and cats to get mad at.
