Thanks guys......I agree that CP makes picture taking easy ;-) I have tried so many options to circle my front fountain. This year I am experimenting with alternating those two sedums. If I like them there once they bloom, I'm going to add maybe Sweet Williams next year. This is a pic of what it kind of looks like........

I just noticed that your pics are from the Chicago Gardens. lol. So, never mind my question above. lol You took some great rose pics, I'm going to check out Part 1. Thanks for sharing these!

This is one of my top 20 favorite roses! And I can never choose favorites, so that's really good, lol :D Maybe even top 15. Gorgeous shots!

Gorgeous colors, Ann! Yours looks considerably bushier than mine. Mine is a classic limited HT shaped bush with a couple of tall narrow canes and a few blooms at the top. I love the blooms but there aren't that many of them for me even in decent sun and conditions. Still, I consider it a keeper (it takes a lot for me to boot a rose, but this one earns its narrow garden space). Mine is root hardy but never cane hardy in zone 5. Cynthia
