These are from the last couple of days. Can't believe all the bloom this early.

Think this will make my branching and budcount list

{{gwi:906642}}

{{gwi:906643}}

{{gwi:906647}}

{{gwi:906649}}

Another contender for budcount

{{gwi:906651}}

Think this is enough for now.

These are all really beautiful. So many pretty clumps to choose a favorite from that I hardly know what to do. OK, I really love A MOOSE FISHING ON A POND ON MONDAY. The name may be awefully long but the flowers are just right and extra lovely. My second choice goes to VOICES OF SPRING because that clump shot is great.

I love Voices of Spring the best, but I love clump shots.

Well Daisy, mine have been in the ground 6 years and they still mildew - a lot. I read (I think on the David Austin website...but I could be wrong) that roses that mildew may need more water, and I am adding hand waterings to the 3 Devoniensis I have (4 actually - 3 bushes from 2006 and 1 climber, added last year). I just started this, but I think there's something to that. We're stingy with water here (it's a dry climate and we don't want to waste water), but I give some of the roses additional water to the drip system when they look bad. I am doing the same thing to Lady Hillingdon, which was ghastly here until this year. It needs more water than most of my other teas. As for Teasing Georgia, keep in mind I didn't prune it at all this year. I could not face those thorns after dealing with 200 other roses, and so I just said "o...next year." Still, if you keep it small, I think you'll be working against nature. In my climate, this wants to be a big rose, and I inherited it because its previous owner didn't have the room.

Nice group of pics. Coral Majority I find is difficult for me to capture the true color of it. Filled to Overflowing has struggled here for many years. Far From The Madding Crowd looks like one of Curt's other intros "Capacity For Wonder". Neon Flamingo is interesting and I've kept it on a wish list but waiting to see how it looks in different gardens during different climate cycles.

Laura, thanks. I meant to put Git R Done on there. It had three huge blooms on it. Thanks for that one. It has done well! Debra, Royal Banner has been gorgeous. New last year and I don‘t remember that it even bloomed. Heartbeat is in partial shade so it tends to open well and actually holds color well during the heat. Winter Romance is huge and has great substance. Sherry, those strong bicolor lilies do draw your attention don’t they? Celeste, GG has been spectacular. That is an untouched shot from my phone. I will attach another shot that is untouched but using the portrait mode on the phone that brings only the subject into focus.

Nancy, your large Japanese Maple is spectacular. I'm partial to multiple trunk trees. We had a Jacaranda when we lived in SoCal, and I miss it. I hope your daughter's family enjoys living in Kirkland. She's in luck with a great climate for gardening. We're on the opposite side of the state, not far from the Idaho line and Canadian border, north of Spokane. It's nothing like the moist, fertile green side. It's dry over here with blistering hot summers and cold, snowy winters. Your camellia is a delicate beauty. Love the yellow stamens against the soft pink petals.

Thanks everyone.

Rita, I really like "Moose" too, but I wish the hybridzers would keep names short enough to fit on a label.

Rita and Kay, Voices of Spring is a fabulous performer and it was one I just took a chance on. I'd never seen it --or even heard of it. Wish all the ones I got this way turned out that well.

Wow! You have some huge clumps! yes, everything is blooming early this year due to the hot hot spring we had. I'm so bummed because everything will be done blooming early too and I'll be left with just green everywhere.
