Oooh, pretty pretty! I especially have a fondness for apricot/peach colored roses; I especially love the way that "Charles Austin" rose looks in the picture! My apricot roses are "Mrs. Oakley Fisher", "Peach Beauty", and "Monteczuma". But I have to say the pinks are always lovely.

Have you ordered any yet? Do let us know which ones you choose!

Oooh! OOOOOH! News from my garden...

Up to bat: "Climbing Pinkie" bloomed today (Central Texas, zone 8a) - my first rose blossom of the season. A beautiful small shell pink, fully double.

On Deck: Sweet Vivian, Knock Out, Autumn Damask, Granada. All are laden with blooms, but are still a few days away.

I have a Cherish, a Pink Sunblaze, a Sexy Rexy, and a yellow and a white that I don't remember the names of, but that were both beautiful. I'll pick them up on the 14th or 15th...

I've sent off for two books about 18th century gardens...I am hoping to get some ideas for something wonderful for the back yard. I want to include a red rose rosebed, and maybe some climbers. I will have a lot of room to play with, and I want it to be something inviting without a lot of lawn!
