Some pics from my young garden( Photo heavy)
Comments (9)Thank you all for your compliments! The Cl.Pinkie is also one of my favorites and I love how she has done in that corner. Very easy to train rose. Juliet- Thank you for such a beautiful description. Yes, Summerville is a beautiful place to live. It is also called Flower Town as it if full of flowers all year and had loads of gorgeous old plantation houses. Just 20-30 min from historic Charleston. Just yesterday I went for a walk downtown and admired the courtyard gardens full of roses, lovely little flower boxes bursting with color and lots of other flowers. Must come and visit sometime! Masha- Ducher was stunning this year. IN the pic of the driveway border its the one not blooming. She was the first to come into her spring flush. Ingrid- Thank you, yes I do put a lot of thought into flower choices and combination. Cottage gardening is my style and I try to keep the eye flowing through the garden with repeating colors and heights. I do still have a lot of grass and I am working on it. I do have another large rose/perennial bed with several other roses and plants but they are not in the photos. I have the whole side yard planned out but due to the hard terrible clay soil I have started doing the lasagna bed method of laying down cardboard and layering like a compost pile. It worked fantastic last year! I love this method, saves my back, the plants I planted this spring have taken off in it. I'll show some pic's soon. ~Meghan...See MorePics of my garden and some visitors to it. Lots of pics
Comments (12)Lovely pics. I am looking forward to my Gaillardia blooms next year. I was lucky enough to get it as a bonus in a trade and I am waiting for my Canna's. I think the daylily is either Abba, Burgundy Express or Bela Lugosi. These are the three deep burgundy daylilies with which I am familiar and there are subtle differences in the shade of the throat, the presence or not of a rufled edge, and fragrance. Take a look online and compare....See MoreSome pics from my garden
Comments (21)Hi Cecilia, I think I'd be staying home also if I had all those beautiful well grown plants to drool over when ever I wanted to. Really outstandingly neat, clean, tidy, well grown plants. In your second last pic you say "most of the time, the garden is in a mess". Wow what a mess! even the pink hose colour blends in beautifully with the plant colours, you certainly have an eye for colour presentation. As for pic 13 "ID?", it looks a bit similar to some of my concentrica seedlings from my first ever lot of babies, grown under 50% shade cloth. So maybe a concentrica hybrid of some sort. I don't think pic 15 is Rosea Striata, the radial lines are not as pronounced and the leaves are not as wide. This is a pic of my 3/4 grown Rosea Striata pup before the centre really coloured up for comparison. All the best, Nev....See MoreSome rosey color from my garden (lots of pics)
Comments (7)Thank you all. I just wish American Beauty CL repeated. But at least I usually get a few months of color from her. This year because of all the late non-stop rains, her flush did not last as long. :( Liz...See More

sidos_house - can't show my garden all at once, but below are some pics of bits of it showing more than one rose bush. Because my house is in the middle of our 1/3rd acre lot, and because I use 3 sides of it as a three story rose trellis, I can only take pics of parts of the garden at a time. I started counting all of the different "views" I can take pics of, and gave up when I got beyond 15.

Here is the back of the house (roses are Cl Rainbow's End, Blaze, Cecile Brunner, Reve d'Or, and Sombreuil)
Here is the SW corner of the house with Cl American Beauty (this rose was growing in 3 places when we moved in - it must have been a favorite, or just a survivor)
Here are two pictures of way out by the sidewalk in front of the house - the first one is South of the driveway, and the other one is North of the driveway (second one was taken in March).
