Wow, I'm shocked at my blooms. THe climbing rose didn't flower at all last year so I warned it, if it didn't flower this year, it was going to be given away.. well.. it must've heard!

Whole front area, actually 2 varieties of rose, in the back on trellis is 2 climbing rose plants, in the foregrand more of a shrub rose. You can also see my planter and my alliums that are just about over.

Great photo. I use that tough love thing in my garden too! It usually works quite well, but I had one rose that didn't catch on-it went a little wild on me. I left it out at the curb and it was adopted by the next morning. :)

Wow!!!! Your roses are AWESOME!!!!! Did you give them any fertilizer or do anything special to get them to grow so well, or are you just really good at making threats?! :D ;)

Absolutely stunning!!

Very nice Karen. Maybe you are a rose whisperer. Whatever you said obviously worked.

That's the very reason I love rose bushes. Once they start going, they just go and go and stay impressive.
