Eric, it's labeled Rhododendren x 'Northern Lights'. It's one of the few that are hardy this far north. I don't grow Rhododendrons that have evergreen foliage, because winter winds and sun would damage the leaves. Jean, you must have a much larger variety of Azaleas available to grow in your milder climate. Julie

Beautiful! A nice change from the blue lupines of Texas. Kt

For anyone interested according to this French article, Gravereaux was assigned by the French minster of agriculture to find a way to break the Bulgarian monopoly on rose essence. Gravereaux hybridized PdlH and his associate, Cochet-Cochet, created RdLH in the hopes of creating a cultivar for the rose water industry, but apparently no one was interested. I like the history / "myth" around roses, it gives them even more appeal.... If you're interested, below is a wacky English translation, thanks to google translate: According to Greek mythology, the goddess of flowers Chloris (Flora the Romans), created the first rose from the lifeless body of a nymph. Other divinities sensitive to the flower added a few qualities: Aphrodite, goddess of love, gave her beauty; Dionysus, god of wine, put there the nectar from which the flower gets its intoxicating scent, and the three Graces conferred her charm, brightness and joy. Finally, Apollo, god of beauty and the arts, crowned the queen of flowers. New techniques of hybridization roses have allowed breeders, from the nineteenth century, to create new forms of flowers and colors more vibrant always ... But these creators have forgotten the scent! From the twentieth century, research is undertaken to obtain roses with delicious scents. In 1901, Jules Gravereaux is itself charged by the Minister of Agriculture Albert Viger, a mission on roses perfume the Balkans. How to make the essence of roses in France and fight against Bulgarian competition? After a field study to study their Bulgarian cultivation methods and the completion of a first report Gravereaux returned to France with two objectives: get through hybridization new perfume roses and perfect distillation processes. Four years are devoted to this activity in the Norman Pavilion turned into a testing laboratory. Rose perfume L'Hay. Wearing his choice on hybrids of Rosa rugosa rose bush Japan and Kamchatka, rustic, originating and pronounced flavor, it gets a new variety deliciously fragrant the "Rose perfume L'Hay", while the rose grower-Cochet Cochet, associated with this research, creates a variety neighbor, the rose "Roseraie de L'Hay". Jules Gravereaux then provide the Minister a second report, its findings: roses perfume and manufacture of gasoline (essence!) at the Roseraie de L'Hay from 1901 to 1905, advocating the cultivation of two varieties prove to be the most profitable. However, his work will not be repeated on a larger scale for economic purposes. All these creations attest to the mysterious alchemy that takes place between the Rose Garden and its artists. >>> For more perfume, its structure, how to feel it ... Go to the heading Queen perfumes. Today, perfume creators roam the Rose Garden in all directions. True outdoor living laboratory, it offers them the wide range of the most subtle scents. Many "noses" of the great French perfumers have come voluntarily wear their assistance in the preparation of an odor recognition game called "mémolfactif" which delighted the audience.

An "appendage" garage is very commonly added to a main side-load garage. Usually site constraints are the governing issue. Using @cd7733 's pic for illustration, the important components are making sure you have the space in the corner where the BLUE rectangle is. That allows the front to swing out when backing out of the inside corner garage all the way to street. That area can also serve as a daily backhouse entrance. The ORANGE rectangle inside is an efficient way for storage and to connect the garages rather than through the house. As an additional crutch if the site allows, a turn-around area of the driveway is good for 3-point turns so you can drive forward out of the driveway (shown in RED arrows but came out pretty sloppy, sorry). Shown with a bball court for my fun. There are many iterations that can happen in terms of layout, which garage is where (maybe 4 + 1 appendage, 3 + 2 detached with breezeway, 2+2+1 tandem, etc), whether it's a separated in-law suite, whatever. You will find little love here on Houzz for ANY garages, but if you need advice when more information is known post and some useful comments may actually trickle through.
