Your Siberians are really pretty. Love the blue, but that last one is such a lovely color.

Thanks for the look. I really haven't seen much of Talisman or Picture before. As a side note, I knew someone where I used to work who got Picture confused with another HT named Portrait. We thought it was amusing, but the two are quite different.

Thank you so much Lilyfinch! Peggy Martin is coming into full bloom soon. I've got my dad now wanting to plant her around their fence and a couple friends on theirs as well. Love that rose and perfect for beginners too! You should definitely get her! She doesn't have the best rebloom like many of my other roses throughout the year but she is one heck of a showstopper in spring and will certainly give you that pop of color in your garden! I'll post again when she's in full bloom. That stinks your neighborhood doesn't allow chickens or ducks. :( If we ever move to another neighborhood rather than some land and a house, I've always said first requirement would be it must allow my feathered babies! lol The ducks have been so much more fun to raise than my chickens, they have such personality and are just so much cuter, although I will always love my chickens. :) ~Meghan By the way, see my pics are squashed too. I didn't feel like resizing since Annette said you can see it full size by clicking on it.

Several that catch my eye, Ink and Pink for the interesting blue eyes,and Outer Limits, munchy crunchy for the teeth. Very cool & different, at least for me. I have Bordello Queen & it does great here too. As you say, nothing really different or fancy, but tall, nicely branched & heavily budded.
