| This has been such a crazy year! Rose blooms in May in Chicago, unheard of :D Anyway, it's been raining constantly so the garden looks dreary but I am so happy to see my new blooms!!!
Here's Blanc Double de Coubert (also 1st bloom last year)
And Rose de Rescht in 2nd place.
Iris Immortality- blooming for the 1st time in my garden since being planted.
And sneaking in a picture from early Spring when my redbud and daffies were blooming :)

| Your garden is beautiful, and a lovely setting. The iris and roses are a great combo. |

| Lovely blooms, and your spring garden is so sweet. I see you share my love for irises along with the roses. I think they set each other off really well. Mine are remontant and last year I had some blooming in November and December since the winter was so mild. |

| So glad you've joined the blooming parade--welcome! Spring is always special, but first rose blooms of the year make it "official," don't they! Redbud trees in the spring--one of my favorites. Kate |

| Thanks Krista, Ingrid and Dublinbay :) Ingrid, Immortality is the only iris I have that has bloomed. I planted Ebb Tide last year but it has no buds so I am expecting flowers next Spring/Summer. |
