Comments (8)Thanks all! I have a love/hate thing with the peonies--only love them for a few weeks, then rest of the summer not so much. Good thing they don't need me at all--they just do their thing and I do mine and we are two ships passing in the night, pretty much, until it's time to mow them. Don't know the names of them, they may have been at my house for 100 years or more, for all I know. I really like Mary Rose, wish she were more fragrant though....See MoreI need your opinion (warning: futile and trivial matter)
Comments (11)Sandraville1, You've gotten excellent advice from knowledgeable gardeners. May I second the raves about Rozanne. If I could only grow one geranium it would be Rozanne. Please consider the salvia May Night. It is as dependable as any perennial can be. Here's what makes May Night so good: great winter hardiness, wind proof, does not sprawl with nice orderly growth habit (14" X14"), and one of the few perennials that pushes up fresh basal growth all season long, along with new lateral growth on earlier growth, if dead headeded and watered/fertilized faithfully. May Night is great along with Rozanne in front of roses, hiding the roses's naked knees, which is a big part of the function of your perennials in front of your roses. The color scheme you may find most harmonious in your perennial selections are: blues, purples, pinks, and whites. These colors will add class, coolness, and elegance to the bed, complementing the roses, the focus plants. I would avoid: reds, oranges, and yellows. These colors will create activity, heat up the bed (visually), and draw the eye away from the main subject, the roses. IMHO, you cannot have enough white perennials. They create an atmosphere of refinement and clarity no other color does. Here are my white flowered perennial recommendations, all top growers, and short in stature for the front of your roses: Salvia 'Snow Hill' - does sprawl, but sends out new basal growth all summer Campanula 'White Chips' Coreopsis alpina 'alba' Centranthus river 'alba' Anthemis 'Susannah Mitchell' Phlox paniculata 'Flame Blue' - strange name for a palest blue, almost white flower Chrysanthemum superbum: 'Tinkerbelle' 8", 'Lacrosse' 12", and 'Snowcap' 14"....See More...the end of May garden plus rant...
Comments (31)Marlorena that must have been really frustrating since Kew Gardens is one of your favorite roses. I can completely relate to not having it planned or a proper spot for it. That alone must have made the mix up even worse. If they just sent the wrong roses and it was a rose you detested I don't think it would have been quite as awful to get rid of it. How irritating that must have been! Your garden is a such a delight though. The mixture of colors and companions with your Herbalist rose are just perfect. The creamy white, pink and lilac is so charming in your photo of Mme. Lauriol de Barny and Desdemona. I also really like the mixture of textures in your fourth photo, even with the empty spot you referred to. Your garden gives us a little glimpse into your character and the way you view life... it's artistic, beautiful and fluid. There's a special harmony to your garden that I find inspiring and I just love seeing photos of it. :-)...See MoreYour most fragrant roses today
Comments (37)A few more: Fragrant Cloud - more orange than the photo shows. I SO love this rose. The fragrance is strong, and a little odd - took some getting used to. But I love it now, and I'm nuts over this rose. Bella'roma: - this rose is hard to photograph, and she's not a fast repeat bloomer. But her fragrance is hands down, one of my favorites in my garden. Every bloom she gives me is a gift. Young Lycidas - Lisa, he does WONDERFULLY in dry heat! Neptune: A newer rose for me, and this bloom round is one of the most fragrant I've had from her. Lovely fragrance! More of Stainless Steel. I am in awe of the bloom form of this rose (and fragrance too!) Chrysler Imperial - one bloom at a time right now, but each blooms smells like heaven. Tiffany - I threatened her, and she gave me a super fragrant bloom Ok, so my Dusty isn't really fragrant (smells like old ranch dog). But she IS next to a bloom of Fragrant Cloud, and is my best garden companion....See MoreKristine LeGault 8a pnw
