Mine is one of the roses on the split rail fence. It's between Long John Silver, and a straight setigera. The setigera has swallowed its section of fence whole, and needs to be restrained with a whip. Compared to it, Baltimore Belle is a true lady. A couple of weeks ago, I was discussing a rose project with a bunch of gardeners who know little of roses beyond HTs. Since for maintenance reasons, we are going to be selecting shrub roses, I thought it was a good idea to bring in a random selection of different rose classes and flower forms. Since it was blooming, one of the samples was Baltimore Belle. I was taking the roses out of the jar one at a time and setting them down on the table in a row. The person sitting next to me, occasionally picked one up and smelled it. When she smelled Baltimore Belle, she exclaimed "Ooh, this one smells nice". I honestly couldn't smell anything, but it was passed around the table to admiring comments. The only other rose I brought that was received that way was Oelleit Flammand.

I think you need professional photos. The current interior photos seem distorted in size. Things seem short and wide. Looks like doll house furniture and the photos make the ceiling seem very low when you can see the ceiling in the photo. the photos are out of whack as to what the real interior looks like, so it seems. The exterior photo of the front of home. Probably will come out much nicer if you took on a bright cloudy day. this way no sun shadows. or take just after sunset or after it rained. The rain makes the grass and shrubs greener and the wet driveway and wet roof make the colors vivid and the house really pops when taken after a rain but when still cloudy. when you see the mansions with the slick photo galleries done by pros...those homes most often are done at sunset or cloudy days and usually all the lights of the house are ON for the photo. Looks very nice. Also ..the front photo you cannot see the left side of the home because of the tree and this would make the home look larger if you could see that side of the home. Otherwise you see a lot of the garage side of the home which is not always the most pleasing. Want it to look big and grand. That home is very nice looking but better photos would make it stunning.

Like dchall said, what exactly are you using to mow the lawn? Does the seed bag say exactly what seed mix is in the bag? Whatever grass that is it looks like it was left to grow far too long. If you are going to reseed you better hurry. dchall is giving you some tough love because you've made many mistakes (according to you) and if you provide the information he asks for he can help you avoid another mistake. People here really need to know where you live, or what zone you are in, for starters, how much direct sun you get (few hours, half a day, etc.). These things impact what kind of grass you can grow best.

Mine is really small as 3rd-year grafted-on-Dr.Huey. I like it much better than Queen of Sweden being 7 feet tall as own-root. The scent is great.
