HI Tracy! You and I are about the same zone..! I have the same problem- BUT- I can tell you that what you have- i dont.. and what I have, you don't!!! Here's what I have that is either STILL blooming now or just about to open- hot colors: orange & red asiatic lillies..( when they open- i'll post) Monarda- red columbine- still going like mad! stella d'oro daylily just opened. I htink you have this. Pinks/purples salvia ( garden sage jsut starting to fade and salvia ( may nigh tor somethign similar) is just coming into full glory pink monarda dianthus juuuustt starting to open lavendar ( two pathetic blooms on a pathetic plant- but time wise this should be perfect) Sea Thrift- pink Garlic chives/onion chives. ( mine havent' bloomed yet but some of the neighbors are in bloom now!) blue spider wort... easy to grow,spreads a bunch, critter resistant and actually is BLUE! looks great with orange! Mine is JUSSST about to open.. it may even have one flower open today. it can do a wide variety of sun & shade.. but it does need some shade.. not full sun white- in my rock garden i have a TON of daisies that spread like wildfire astible is also about to pop.. and as for May- you GOTTA get some daffodils.. I JUST planted soo many this winter- we had a warm front and someone gave me them so i hurried to dig them in in February!!! and I had over 200 daffodils in April through end of may! ps- I also plan on getting alium for sure- but that not a late spring bloomer for us... it would be fading now I beleive.My sis's is fading for sometime now.

Tanima No Uki is a weakling. in my estimate... parvs are slow to begin with.. then introduce the white tissue ... and you have a recipes for disaster.. which i think you said you already learned ... LEAVE IT ALONE ... as long as it looks like the rest i wish i had a nickel for every time i typed this ... i would be a dollar-aire ... lol .. learned from the hosta world.. white tissue has no chlorophyll ... so it doesnt produce food for the plant ... it is a net negative ... some plants compensate by greening up ... and they thrive.. others stay white and do NOT ... white tissue tends to burn in the sun.. winter and summer.. so the inclination is to plant them in shade ... but this dichotomy is hard.. since the plant has reduced food making capabilities... ergo... the perfect shade grows a thriving plant.. a plant with white in too much shade fails ... more green... [less white] means... more food production... means faster establishment ... means a stronger plant ... reduce the canopy by removing it ... and you reduce vigor.. on a plant that is already in a lot of shade ... and has white in it ... that little tuft is looking better and better all the time... eh??? LEAVE IT THERE if true to the name.. make sense?? ken

So.... just so you know - you enabler, you - this is how my mind works: I thought, "wow, I really like VIOLET TRANQUILITY", so I looked it up, Petit. Went to Petit's website, and low and behold they are having a summer sale (*DON'T, REPEAT, DON'T LOOK!!!!). Then I think, "well, I don't really have enough of Ted's work in my garden... so maybe I should get some". LOL. Oh boy. Thankfully I contained myself and just got ONE from the BOGO sale, which *REALLY* means he will send me three! Aral Sea Royal Fringe Fleet Goddess YIPPEE!!! I think my first bloom was WHEEL OF TIME, which is weird, because it is registered as a mid, but anyway, that was on April 28th. But, I think it would be an outlier and mostly things started about May 11 -15. We had a lot of that same weather pattern, which was great - lots of rain and cool weather!

Stacian, sounds like your doing a great job with those roses! Juju, splitting those tiny plants is very difficult so don't feel bad that some of them died. I've had the same luck with splitting them myself so no longer try to do it. Generally I never recommend trying to keep them inside over the winter. Roses are never happy inside. Anytime roses are in temps above about 40 degrees they will try to grow and they can't get enough light or humidity to grow properly and will struggle at best in the house. If you do want to keep them inside put some lights on them even in the window and place them on trays with water and pebbles in the bottom. Make sure that the bottom of the pot does not sit in water but up on the top of the stones. This will help bring the humidity up around them.
