A favorite fragrance and form or I should say forms SDLM stays about 5tall by 4 wide in our Garden as does my Kron Princessin Viktoria it's white sport right next to it. HSDLM is always 1 of my favorite subjects and fragrances it's not a shy small bush in our garden it stays about 5ft tall by about 4 wide. 2 views the 2nd reminds me of taffeta.

Sweet little Austin Pretty Jessica nice fragrance never has gotten any bigger that 2 ft over 3 years and is never always as pretty as this but worth it.

80+ here during the day. About 70 tonight.
Wind is screaming like a dozen banshees.

It's lovely to see such peaceful things.
Thank you.

Joe, these are great photos.
And your Pretty Jessica is a real looker. Did you mean it's "always" as pretty as this, or "never" as pretty as this?

Thanks,
Randy

What a treat on a cold winter day! I have never seen any of these roses "for real". What an intriguingly lovely HP. Do you recall any scent? And that Hugh Dickson! Yummy! The beautiful Eglantyne~~ And PA looks SO good with that color clematis (which I just happen to have:). Ayrshire Queen~~ like something out of a fairy tale. Thanks. Donna

Thanks palmcirtusbananavaz7! Dennis, I think the largest majesty I saw was in the part 1 of the pics. Im trying to remember if I saw a larger majesty palm because I think I did, but their definitely weren't too many large majesty palms. But the majesty palms I did see looked very healthy! Thanks for looking! -Alex

Oh boy, Do I have pics lol.... I just went out there to capture everything for this month, so I can compare it next year :) Central Indiana zone 5 ( excuse the weeds ) Last week I bought some tulips, a mix of yellows and reds but the red ones seems to be a bit late in the game.. loving them! Limelight Panicle Hydrangea waking up I got 2 of these blomerang reblooming lilac last fall on the clearance table, they looked like they were not going to make it but look at them now... gorgeous girls! This little one Full Moon Coreopsis likes to take over this whole area, so this year I have to find some sorta small fence to keep her up Baptisia Decadence lemon meringue... is taking her time. Elegans Plantain Lily Hosta, she is gonna be a big pretty one! she got hurt by one of the neighbor kids, as you can see one of the leaves.... that kid is not invited anymore. I just put this Renaissance Spirea on the ground 4 days ago, I did not want to trim it because I wanted to see her bloom... She is so cool! I can't remember this one's name but she trippled her size from last year lol

Beautiful and makes me nostalgic for the days of cherry blossoms, taffeta dresses, piano recitals, speaking French while dreading the tests ahead, including trying to get into the taffeta dress with the 22-inch waist from last spring which might become a pleasant memory and nothing more.

Catherine Guillot is looking like a temptress that wants me to find her for my own pleasure. Your description of Pretty Jessica not always being pretty leaves me baffled, as I was looking forward to getting her, because everyone considers her a gem on this site, now I am all lost about her because of that one comment(lol). Thank you for these photos to cheer up the morn.

Joe,
Happy New Year; your pictures are beautiful as always. Agnes really got to me. Was with a friend the other night at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens' Festival of Lights and I was telling him about my rose forum friend who takes the most beautiful, loving pictures of NYC and we have been after him to create a book of it for years. When I move back to NY watch out; my many siblings didn't call me "The Colonel" for nothing! LOL
Thanks for this breath of lovely things to come; helps lift away the winter doldrums.

Is Agnes a rugosa? Fragrant? Rebloom? I love your picture of her...
patricianat

I am not Joe but yes, Agnes is a rugosa. I think it was either Paul or John who posted her here years ago and she was so beautiful, just took my breath away. Oh, to be able to grow rugosas without the associated problems of growing roses in Bugville located only a few feet away from Fungusville.

Agnes has a great spring flush but I've rarely seen much or any rebloom. The shade is from yellow to that yellow white to an almost beeswax!

Oh, you made me hungry for the sight of new green growth, the scent of a rose and for my Cherry trees to bloom. Joseph, these are wonderful and so good for my winter weary soul :-)

Joe thanks so much for these lovely pictures---I especially love the Bronx pictures be it summer or winter. I often wonder if my grandmom walked in these areas---I have some Bronx addresses--perhaps you are familiar with them--

The blossoms are wonderful

Lovely pictures of Blush Moss and of course, the cherry trees. I always admire the lighting in your photographs; it's just beautiful.
