This most recent pic is pretty cool for a couple reasons, among them: The larger plant in the middle (and the one to the right in the foreground) is an example of a plant that I repotted in the brief pause after it had fully opened but before it started growing its first fascicle. The smaller plants (mostly out of focus) show individuals left to grow their first fascicles before repotting. Notice how much bigger the other 2 are at the same age!

The house has two slightly different styles of brick and we want them to match. I don’t like the acid wash or white washed look. I’ll look into German shmear. We have a landscape designer that suggested doing a brick veneer over all of it. I just want it to look good.

I believe that is annual ryegrass. Is that one of the seeds in the Contractor's Mixture? I got some in Scotts Sun and Shade Mix. It seems to go away or be less noticeable after a few cuttings.

I just happened upon this thread and want to share my opinion on no. 1: it's not Henri Martin. HM is a moss rose and more upright. And I would say more purple, but that colour is hard to photograph. Beautiful roses, both of them! Buds of Henri Martin
