| Your garden statues are wonderful. You must have literally thousands of rose blooms. I can't wait for my garden to be more mature like yours, although I don't know whether my roses will ever reach that size. Wonderful! |

| Wow, your rose garden is one of the most impressive and beautiful I have ever seen. I'm new here, I live in Westchester New York, originally from Los Gatos California. How old are most of your roses, do you spray or fertilize those giant roses a lot? My rose garden is growing last, I have about 60 own root roses now...but it's a young garden, only about 3 and a half years old. Hope my garden looks a little like yours someday. I enjoy the teas, hybrid perpetuals, and bourbons the most. If you have any tips, I would enjoy hearing them. I am so addicted to rose gardening now, it's crazy. Haha! |

| Your roses are beautiful, and beautifully grown. Anne Boleyn - a mound of perfect foliage and nodding blooms - perfect. Thanks for sharing. |

| Unh-oh. I don't think I gave Jean Bach enough room. |

Thank you everyone.
Floridarose, Jean Bach isn't that big of a monster. Maybe 6x6.
Jerome, Yes I think Anne Boleyn is a perfect mound. Wish all my roses had the growth habit she has!
NY Steve, My main tip is to dig a big hole, ammend the soil in it, and plant the rose there. My dirt is horrible, so I take out all the dirt when I plant my roses and replace the dirt with compost from our local wastewater plant. I've gotten lazy the last few years, and thought my garden soil had been improved enough to skip this step, and the roses I've planted since then have not grown into beauties. Most of the roses shown here are from my garden planted around 2008. I do fertilize (on occasion-haven't this year), I don't spray, and in last summer's drought I didn't even water because my drip tube irrigation system was eaten up by animals looking for water, and besides, what little well water I had was needed for the plants dying in the drought, and the roses were not dying. |

| Cweathersby, Thanks for the very nice response and tips. I have about 14 Teas on there way from Vintage Roses and Roses Unlimited. I'll be sure to dig nice big holes, as I have always tried to do...which is hard where I am at, because of all the rocks and tree roots. I get the pick out and work away though. I have some good cow manure compost, well aged and bagged, plus some other high end compost I plan to use. I have three different drip systems in place, because I was finding it took too long to water my 60 roses, once or twice a week...specially with a 7 year old daughter who always wants to play barbies or bike with daddy...I'm trying to get her hooked on roses, as my parents got me hooked on gardening too. Have a great Spring, thanks for your kindness and for sharing your very nice pictures! |

Just super pics. From a rose lover with a young garden I'm green with envy. Maybe in a decade or so mine will be half as gorgeous.
Thank you so much for sharing.
