Two Roses
Here are two roses from the big rose garden. The first is a Floribunda named ‘Outrageous’. It has some beautiful blending of the colors and is a fairly large rose. It does seem to get blackspot but I have managed to keep it clean this year. In 2000, this rose was chosen as Jackson & Perkins Floribunda of the Year.

Those climbers are amazing. You are very talented!
Your roses are exquisite, Chris, especially ‘Heirloom'. On this beautiful solstice eve, wishing you a beautiful summer.
how beautiful. I can nurse a sick cat or dog or mouse no problem - but being a plant in my home is like being on death row. It's depressing. Thinking of investing in plastic plants!
Beautiful pictures, as always. I enjoy your flowers and photography very much. This week I am featuring your blog as "Blog of the Week" on Gracious Hospitality. Please stop by and visit if you have a chance.
