Thanks, everybody. Yes, Bosco does have to get in on the action whenever possible. Mantis, the coreopsis isn't new, it's just blooming much earlier than in past years. PSM grows in part shade and deserves a better spot. We had so much snow cover this winter that I suspect everything was protected more than I'd thought. Even Pink Aloha, which I thought was a goner, has sent up a scape. Enzo is around 95 lbs. now, so yes, he'll be a big boy.

Thank you all for the kind comments. Martin came from France quite a few years ago when we were still able to import roses from around the world. I'm not sure if he is available on this continent now. The spray on this photo is typical for the variety. Blueberry Hill should be easy for anyone in the U.S. to aquire. I've wanted it for a couple years now and finally found an own root cutting. So far, it's growing quite vigorously and appears to be very healthy.

Love your Moonlight Magic--but then, I'm a sucker for lovely lavenders! Brother's Grimm is quite striking also. Kate

Prickly Sensation is such a pretty flower, but I am not sure how much it likes me. I got it once and it died after a year after blooming really well. Tried it again in a different spot, part of it died, and I moved it. So far so good, but if this one doesn't make it, I won't try again. I know it has done well for people north and south of me, so I assume it just does not like me personally.

My Grande Dame is so heavy with blooms that all of the long canes are bent to the ground.

Just beautiful Sara! Yours and Judy's Poseidon made me have to get some! I love it! Waiting on my Grande Dame as well. It's been slow to grow for me.l but hopefully will kick in soon. Thanks for sharing :))

Thank you, April! Matthew, you do have lots of blooms on Grande Dame. While mine seems fairly prolific, not anywhere close to that many!
