I am glad to know it is normal to be moving plants plants around and tweaking things! Twors, I like your placement of surrounding the hydrangea with annuals! It is a clever way to fill in the space while the bush is establishing. We planted 'Limelight', 'Little Lamb' and 'Quickfire' this year but the bed looks a bit sparse, perhaps some temporary annuals around everything might be my answer, instead of constantly moving perennials.... Are those pink flowers phlox? I have seen quite a bit of phlox blooming everywhere lately and it is quite inspiring!

Thanks for sharing! Gorgeous roses. Your Laguna looks so big and happy. I didn't realize I was such a fan of yellow roses until I've been seeing them more and more on here. Your Topaz Jewel is no exception.

Tracy, I think that Mills Magic is missing a great advertising opportunity by not using your pictures for advertising. Because of your success with such a bounty , that is what I will be trying. Your Quicksilvet is absolutely glorious. I never got that many blooms all season Well done ! I used to live in Mountlake Terrace and loved the climate. I had no idea that it was such a great area for roses.

Blessed Child continues to be one of my absolute favorites: Gorgeous blooms, strongly fragrant, clean foliage, just a big winner all around. This is her 2nd year in the ground I believe. Lady Hillingdon and William Lobb. I just love the beautiful shading of the Lady's blooms, and William complements her nicely.
