Very beautiful, every one of them. Is the Ispahan what is sometimes called a cabbage rose? It's wonderful.

Thanks guys, I had to pull out all the plants put in by the home builder and redid the beds 2 1/2 years ago, no landscaper involved :) WS list- Candymountain foxglove seeds from T&M, second year now, has some seedlings don't know if it would come true from seeds. Soapwort, Sweet william and chives all WS in their second year. Peach Iris and most of my Iris are store bought.I hated them first because I wanted PINK, but these had been very prolific bloomers and fast growers. gave away about half of what i have now and they caught up fast. Love them!! I can dig up some later on. pennstomon -from store bought plant never got to grow from seed.

Luckygal, Congratulations on all your planning, forethought, and hard work. It is really paying off! You gardens are beautiful, well planned and manicured. Looks wonderful. I love your flower photos. Going to try the Monkshood this year. I grew three Delphiniums last year and was amazed at how well they did here in Oklahoma, even with a horrid drought and triple digit temps. Everyone here told me they couldn't be grown. Just shows to go ya. I hope they come back, but even if they don't, they bloomed all season long and I enjoyed their beauty immensely. I love Yarrow. They grow wild here too. Most are white, but once in awhile I find some which are a pale pink or lilac colored. I also allow it to grow in places in my gardens. It is lovely and the white is so blousy and showy. However, I have difficulty growing the cultured type for some reason. I do have one clump left of the Coronation Gold that has lasted for more than ten years. Bought some of the Paprika last year, but it kicked the bucket in mid-June after blooming, then the hens dug it up. Darn! I would love to have a curved bed filled with large boulders and multi-colored Yarrow with some tall Coneflowers and/or Gloriosas here and there in the back. And some fine-leafed ornamental grasses, mayhaps. Ha! Ha! I bought several pots of Walker's Low Nepeta last year (on sale at a summer's end sale in July). I couldn't decide where to set them at that time and with all the family issues still brewing and the extreme heat, I didn't have time to garden that much, so they were just left in the little plastic pots and never got planted. They have sat there under the big Ash tree on the South side of the house and have pretty much been neglected, except for an occasional watering, and yet they are still green and looking pretty ding-dong good! That just blows my mind! Now I know where EXACTLY where I will plant them this Spring. If they are that hardy, I am sure they will do well in my garden! (If I can keep the chickens and cats out of them, that is). I really like your combination of the Dusty Miller with the Munstead. Looks terrific together and they would be very compatible. Awesome! I grow Munstead not only for the beautiful flowers and fragrance in the garden, but I also make tea from the leaves and use the Lavender blooms to make Lavender Sugar for cookies, cakes and teas. Pound Cake sprinkled with Lavender sugar before baking is absolutely scrump! Enjoyed all your pics and comments. Good luck with your Labyrinth. That sounds like a very big project! I wouldn't know where to start!!! ~Annie Thanks Hon!

Thanks, Phil and Anita. Can you believe, it's actually zone 4 here, bordering on 5 (most z5 plants will grow fine due to the heavy snow cover in the winter) but there's that much difference in the seasons! And thank you too, Ken. I think you're right. Would you be more likely to believe it's montana Aureomarginata rather than Paradigm? Somehow, I think the tags may have gotten mixed.

Thanks, holiday-ers...yes, I am doing better each day (DH, too)...coughing is not gone, but much less, thank goodness! I want to get outside in the gardens...but weather must co-operate, too! jane, yes, this is a 3-season porch & we have a little electric stove heater that we can use & open up the sliding doors to the DR when GK's come home to play! We love the porch...it's almost as old as house...40 yrs. ranch style ...but finished off inside, carpeted cement floor, paneled & replaced windows in the last 10 yrs. or so. And, yes, Jane, that single pc of Depression glass is all I have from G'ma's...it is pretty...I must look up the pattern name again...it has pink glass spoon, too. (can't remember if I added that later?) Thanks, Marylee... & yes, Purplemoon, that totem does look like a bird bath...I got the 2 glass birds at StVincentDPaul, the heavy aqua glass dish at a GS & the 1 pc bottom at HLobby...when I made it. luvs, punk & nana...Dollbaby can be a pistol, all right! Yeah, now she wants to be out there playing, too! Glad you enjoyed her. And the "door" cabinet is my fav pc out there...just an original & reminds me of my sis' old farm house. Thanks, holiday-ers!

I would call it a cabbage rose, but don't know if "experts" would. :)

I "rescued' it from an abandoned farm - I just dug two starts from the HUGE bush along the road front. From those two little cuttings, it has grown into nearly as big of a bush as the parent. I keep that first one in a big bush clump, but the one in these photos I trained up a post next to a power pole and then let it cascade over how it wished this spring. I keep taken "slips" and spreading it around the property. It is not bothered by insects, drought or the electric company workers who climbed up the pole to do repairs on the pole and lines. :)

I love this rose above all others. I wish you could smell her fragrance. It is totally unique and so strong. The whole yard and up into the meadow is filled with her heavy Myrrh fragrance. You almost feel as if you are walking through some ancient Middle Eastern garden. Oh, my!

Eduarda helped me identify her, bless er heart. She has them in her garden in Portugal. You can imagine my delight in finally getting her identified. What a class act rose.
I discovered that Antique Rose Emporium sells them. They are listed in their catalogue with their "Old Garden Roses" as a Hybrid Tea, once blooming, Fragrant Medium Pink. No other description about her is given there. That is a pathetic description! Hmph!

Ignore the time stamps on those images. My camera went whack-o last month and hasn't been accurate since. I tired to remove the time stamp, but the next time I used it, there it was again. Grrrr.

This is the Pink Flowering Almond (or is it Flowering Pink Almond?). Anyway, it blooms in early spring. You can see it is planted at the base of Rosa, Ispahan. Some years they bloom together, but not this year.

{{gwi:623819}}
The color is washed out in this photo due to the funky spring lighting, I suppose. It is a lovely "baby girl's" pink like the pink you can see in the center.
It was just beginning to bloom when I snapped this picture. No fragrance but a beautiful little shrub. It is illegal to grow and/or sell in some states, for some reason. Glad it isn't here! It spreads by expanding in size, but never grows more than three feet tall.

So gorgeous Annie! I think these might be my favorite photos you have every posted of the garden!! That pink rose and peony combo is out of this world!!!

I love Midas Touch. My friend had a HUGE huge specimen by her front door for about 10 years. I took several cuttings, that were non-grafted and gave them away, the one I kept for myself I had labeled incorrectly :(
They painted my friends house two years ago and cut the darned rose right off below the graft!!! So sad.

I also love flowering almond. It can take the worst possible location and bloom and multiply like a trooper. We've got one in solid red clay beside the driveway between the road and sidewalk. It's a thankless location and every Easter it blooms it's head off!! The mother of mine is unusual and grows more like sticks to 4' tall. Mine is lax and grows 8" tall?!!

I will be needing to get Belinda's Dream!

Thank you everyone.

I have really been working on improving my soil the past three years and that has made a big difference, I believe. Good soil - good plants.

Good rainfall, this year too.
Belinda's Dream looks like a big, fat pink Snowflake. And she smells divine. Has a good strong fragrance. She likes full sun, no ifs, ands or buts about it.

That 5-inch bloom is on a plant that is only two feet tall. I rooted it last spring. I just stuck a broken off branch in the ground, and no kidding, she rooted in about three weeks and began blooming within a month. Poor little plant was bent over double with those big blooms. She bloomed all summer last year. This year, her blooms are even bigger. I totally love Belinda's Dream. In front of her is a rose cutting I got from plantmaven. I think it is Rosa, Heritage, although I can't be certain. She is only 18 inches tall and has bloomed twice already this year. She bloomed last year too, but much smaller blooms on an 8 inch plant. She has a strong, lovely old rose fragrance and sweet baby pink color.

I just cannot get enough roses! It is my new freak!
If I keep on like this, I will have to change my home name from Iowa Hills Herb Farm to Rose Hill Cottage!

Thanks again everyone. I'll be sure to tell my rose-girls how much you all love them.

Annie, I loved the pictures of your roses.. You have some real beauties.

I have Belinda's Dream from Chamblees and it doesn't look like yours at all and it isn't very fragrant. Makes me wonder. I will post a picture for you to take a look at.

I thought I lost it over winter but it finally came back but is pretty short so far.

You have made me want Ispahan. I love the very fragrant ones.

Beautiful!! If you just took a close-up of the Ispahan, you'd (at least I'd) think it was another peony. I'm still afraid to grow roses; but this has got me interested...hmmmm

Annie,
I posted a reply to your reply on my post of my garden not sure if you saw it or not.

Your gardens are very pretty and your roses so healthy and lush looking! I love that New Dawn, always wanted to try her but wasn't sure how she would do here and that Ispahan wow,love the color and it looks fantastic with those peony! :O)

My spring flush was great but now the thripes something I have had before but never too bad is becoming a huge problem this year and the leafhoppers are doing a number too. :O(
