| My garden is nearly at peak bloom and I took a couple pictures yesterday before the rain smashed everything.
Here's a long view of my main rose garden:

A mix of Austins and foxgloves by my house: (Munstead Woods to right, William Shakespeare 2000 on left)

| Munstead wood is certainly on the wish list |

| I love the green background to the roses, something I certainly don't have. Also really like the combination of roses and foxgloves. Munstead Wood is a wonderful-looking purple rose. Ingrid |

| Very pretty. Love WS 2000, such a rich color. |

| Munstead Woods looks great! I reserved 2 in August at Pickering and the owner said he didn't consider this a good plant and I didn't get it. Next year I will insist on getting it. I love the color. Fragrance - is it just as good as the plant suggests it? Lori your garden looks beautiful. |

| Lori, your garden is lush and park-like. Very serene is the impression I get. I can almost visualize Mary Poppins and Burt taking a stroll in it. What are the differences your finding in William Shakespeare and Munstead Wood? They seem kind of similar, both stunning. Which one smells better? I am bound to get one or the other and would like to have your opinion.

| Thanks for your comments. Munstead Woods has a good fragrance to my nose -- pure old rose. It is slightly darker/more purple than WS2000 and the fragrance is sweeter. This is only the second year in my garden so I haven't observed it for long, but so far it's healthy. |

| Great pics, I especially like the pic of the two red roses together. I love the color! The blooms are so sumptuous. |

| You've done a tremendous job with that garden, elf. I know how much work you've put into it, with little help. Your efforts are an inspiration, and are really showing through now. I hope the rest of the summer is peaceful and beautiful for you! Jon |

Ahhh- green. The roses look so striking against your beautiful grass and trees. I love your fences too.

| Thanks for all your kind comments! My garden is a lot of work, but it's a labor of love. I think of it as my artwork. |

Lori,
Your garden is much how I would do mine.... only with less grass. :) At the moment, DW has placed a moratorium on new flower beds... otherwise there wouldn't be a blade of Fescue in sight. Very Beautiful and an obvious labor of love in art. :) Rob |
