I think your first tree may be Ulmus glabra 'Lutescens', golden elm. Here is a link that might be useful: Ulmus glabra 'Lutescens', golden elm

Thank you all for responding to my post! I appreciate all of your help with this rose bush. I do not think it is sexy rexy because I thought it might be that rose, so I ruled it out when I went to a rose show in my area today and saw sexy rexy. In fact, saw two of them and they were too light and too pink to match my rose. I do think this is a grandiflora rose since all roses are in a cluster. I am posting a couple more pictures of my rose to show how it looks when it starts to fade. (when it fades it turns more pink) I also did a petal count on one rose and count was 43. I also am thinking if it is not Camelot it could be Montezuma. I was looking in some old JP catalogs and saw Montezuma and looked very similar. Does anyone else have this rose or Camelot? I am leaning towards Camelot because the shape of the bush looks just like my mom's 50 yr old Queen Elizabeth. The leaves are very large and this bush is very disease resistant. Thanks again for all your help and I have enjoyed reading responses.

Coreopsis of some sort.There are many that look identical to me.

Ken, milkweed is a largely a wind blown seed. Going to seed here isn't the real issue. The real problem is that A. syriaca spreads underground. It will make a stand. In a already full garden that is a problem - though it will do well against the bishops weed that it looks like there is in this garden as it will get taller and will shade out that plant. I have found this type of milkweed very difficult to dig and move for all but the youngest plants as the roots go very deep. As mentioned, essential for monarchs.
