| I got this before ashdown closed last year, My plan is to trellis up the side of the house around windows etc.. of course, I will have a great shot for you of that.. in about 5 years.. lol, bands are sooo small, but I did get a few blooms this year, pleasent fragrance and lovely blushing color..
Have to throw in another comte de chambord greeting the morning sun..
Front border mix, never really in peak.. as things slowly fade, others pick up.. yellow will dominate the post rose show, I still have more moderns though.. I prefer my borders this way.. as I like to look at something year round. Forgive the hose.. lol,

| Baltimore Belle is just the epitome of a lovely old rose. Your border reminds me of my companion plants; they're never all in bloom at once but still lend their presence to the overall scheme. I've found that irises are very effective, whether in bloom or not, because their spiky shape creates a very nice contrast to the bushy forms of other plants. Of course it's such a treat when they do bloom. Ingrid |

| Baltimore Belle looks lovely, as well as your border. I also like the ferns in the background, behind the stone wall! |

| She's going to be a beauty for you, and your border is lovely. I love the contrast of cultivation on the edge of wilderness. Sherry |
