My Fourth of July is a J&P new generation (own-root) rose, planted 2 years ago. It remained a small bush the first year, and started throwing long canes last year. Its about 10 ft high now, but I have to prune and train to keep its width constrained because I am growing in on a pillar. Here's 1 pic from the first summer, and 2 from last week, so you can see how fast its grown. Its so vigorous that I use much less fertilizer on it than the bush roses. We do have a long growing season though, so it'd probably be slower for you.

I LOVE clump photos! Have I mentioned that before? :) Pretty Gaudy does great for me too, I love that one. Beautiful color on Rose Fever, & Aztec Beauty & Inner Vision are just beautiful. Oh, I just love them all :)

I'm just north of Concord NH. My new perennial bed looked great in spring when the bulbs were blooming but then when thru a dull spell. Now it's showing promise. I had hoped it would be showy for 4th of July company but, oh well. Full sun: several different yarrows beginning including the new all red one, echinacae (one bud blooming, the rest getting ready), clary sage (won't grow again, I remember this biennial as taller and fragrant, this is a dud), shastas, day lilies and one newly planted lupine is putting up a flower stalk. Semi-shaded garden: feverfew, day lilies, primroses (afternoon sun) and spirea just finishing, fringed bleeding heart continuing, hostas putting out flower stalks, monarda just beginning. Palace purple heurchera putting out flower stalk. Perennial yellow foxglove. In addition to late planted annuals, self-sown dark red poppy and calendula (some Flashback) blooming here and there. Old herb bed: nepeta mussini (catmint), lamb's ears. It looks like the astilbe transplanted in 2007 when we moved is being choked out. There are in what was supposed to be a temporary holding bed. I'm behind!

I also thought maybe some Fourth of July blooms, but you have some nice ones there. Of this batch, I have Enchanted Evening and Renaissance. Both of them do rather well for me here. Renaissance has such a delicate blush color to it, and it even keeps going in the heat although petal count and size go down. Thanks for posting. I always like to look.
