Last pics from today - the garden is making me dizzy, so much is blooming right now.

Jackie

mystery rose - might be The Rose of Many Names? Found it in an old garden down the street from our house.

Lamarque - jumped over our fence from a neighbor's old old (neglected) garden - I invited it to stay!

In our brand new garden, we transplanted Cl Rainbow's End. It is much happier here in total full sun (blooms MUCH bigger!) than it was in partial sun.

It's so fun to watch the new iteration of your garden take shape and see these roses rebounding. Congrats ☺️

We had a large (40-50 ft tall) old and with a lot of dead branches privet tree pruned down substantially yesterday, so now we will be doing a lot more moving of large climbers off of where they still are on our house and into that garden. Pax, Belle Portugaise, Reve d'Or, and a mystery buff colored old tea, for starters. In fact, we have decided to put some of them beyond the back fence of the new garden on new large structures, because Belle Portugaise, for instance, insists on getting 15 feet tall before it will bloom, and needs more space. It does not need a deer fence, b/c our deer do not climb ladders!

Thanks for the compliment about my roses. This is my front yard, and I had the pergola built on the front of my house about 3 years ago, so I could grow roses on it. I also built all the trellis' for rose growing. I do have a few other vines on them you can't see from this picture. Luckily I live in a neighborhood without a HOA (hate them!) so I can pretty much do what I want, within city code, of course. It is amazing how the roses get better each year! Jackie, the pictures of your garden are always a treat and a great inspiration for me. I always look forward to seeing them!

Thanks for the advice mgleason56! It looked really different, very intriguing! I'll make sure it is in the best growing spot to give it the best possible start. I can start hauling compost and preparing the bed. It will be potted up first, and babied along. Good thing I made plenty of compost this year! I thought I'd also mention Vintage Gardens and their possible closing in my party plan (not roses) sales talk. Lots of people here love to garden and would like some nice roses. Every person can help a little, and maybe we can keep a great rose vendor who really deserves to stay in business! Still doing the HHRD, Linda

A neighbor has a daphne that is doing well. I think I am scared to fail and have plenty of other things to do right now so I will enjoy hers. Ingrid, we are in Santa Barbara, lower on the foothills where the good top soil ended up centuries ago-it was a marsh at some point. One can see the difference in the soil from one side of the garden to the other, one side being where the street runs and little was done by my dad or me to improve the soil vs the side the fruit trees used to live in. But it helps when counting roses in bloom to have too many roses since it raises the number that could be blooming at any time. I love the daffodils/narcissus patch. Dad must have picked a few up eons ago, over time and with chickens they were spread over the garden in patches. Because I don't want them in the veggie garden, when ever I found bulbs we set them aside and started that lower level. They are far too much on a grid pattern for me right now, but once they spread it should pretty much fill the area with them. They are ones that naturalize because I am far too lazy to dig up and store

I'm more worried about powdery mildew than blackspot in my area. I've tried several hybrid musks that have suffered badly with PM, so I am reluctant to try another. It looks great in your photos, though. Perhaps I can go down to the San Jose Heritage Rose garden and see how it does there. I do believe that a field trip is in order.

We finally just set up an irrigation system in our "new garden", so I don't have to water it by hand anymore. Of course, the first time we turned it on, it produced a water spout going up 10 feet - not in the program, so my DH is going to fix it.

Lots more sun there now since the tree got hard pruned. Privets grow like weeds around here, so I am not worried about the tree - just worried that we won't be able to keep it a reasonable size in the future - we shall see.
