Another beautiful post! Gotta love the pinks and purple!

I like your third picture...three rose bushes?

Can you please provide their names so I can research to see if they will grow in my area?

It must smell divine in your garden...

Thanks Audrey. It's actually mostly just one, Zephirine Drouhin...my wife actually calls her Audrey II (the plant from Little Shop of Horrors) :) She can get pretty big. The few canes coming in on the right are Louise Odier.

Audrey, you can count. In the last photo, that is almost entirely one large bush of Zephirine Drouhin :) She's a big girl.

Thanks, Renee.

Yep, the purple rose is Reine des Violettes.

Your roses are just overwhelming! I'm frustrated because I can't smell them. Can you please tell me how old most of these roses are? I want mine to hurry up and look like that.

Hi Ingrid,

Most of the roses are between 2 and 4 years old. Rich soil and regular rain help :)
