Even with our early Spring, your growing season is weeks ahead of ours here in North Texas. What a delight to see your garden at the stage it is now, Roselee. Thanks for taking us on these tours.........I always get ideas from you. Your roses are beautiful.

I love the rose garden tour! I can almost smell those lovely blooms.

The purple is a perfect color on those plant stands, the bird cage and the gate! I'm trying to decide on a vibrant color for an old rocking chair and a birdbath that I'm making from our old Dish satellite dish. I'm leaning toward purple also.

The budda is perfect with that cloisonne duck. Is that a christmas cactus on his right?

What a cute lil neighbor you have in the last shot! Is that a junco?
Great job of covering the work in progress supplies. That wrought iron mini pot holder looks great there against the brick.

Yes, just like everyone else I love to see what you have going on in your garden!

I wish I had the time to do all those artsy things you do, its all I can do to keep things cleaned up and alive...

One day I will have it under control and have time to do the artsy stuff too. :)

Love your garden and projects, the old man in the garden bird feeder is just soooooo cute. Is it coral honeysuckle on the trellis behind the antiqued bird bath?

Wow, Roselee! Those roses are beautiful! I really like the way you did the birdbath and the plant stands.

That bird feeder rocks, Roselee!

Thank you, Roselee, for sharing your beautiful - and interesting - garden. I especially love your roses. Lou

Thanks everyone for looking and commenting!

Pam, yes --I think that's a Christmas cactus. I got it at a swap last year. BTW, the nice thing about painting is you can always change it or antique it with a light wash of another color. Turquoise is another favorite color for the garden, and lime green.

Melvalena, I think I got into artsy things because I have no more room for expansion of the garden (you'll get there too one day :-) plus they don't need to be watered -- just painted ... sometimes. Plus I'm retired so that helps.

Jim thanks. I like how the bird bath turned out too. Now I have to find paint that would work on the corroded aluminum bowl of the other bird bath. Lowes didn't have 'zinc chromate primer'.

Indu, yes that's a coral honeysuckle. It's so easy to grow. Everyone should have one.

Omar, the 'old man' does have a lot more personality with eyes, doesn't he! "I once was blind, but now I see." was Bob's comment who insisted on the eyes. Now the cactus where I took them from, is blind. Oh well, Patty is going to try and find some more.

Lou, I see your name on the rose forums so I'm happy that another rose fancier, along with the others above, enjoyed the roses. I just got three more in from Roses Unlimited today; Pink Gruss an Aachen, Mother of Pearl and Marechal Niel. With these I'm stopping. Probably ... :-)

"With these I'm stopping" Ha!Ha! Famous last words!
Jim

She did say "probably", Jim.............LOL>
