Galega x hartlandii 'Lady Wilson' On Monday, our garden was included in the HPSO Study Weekend. This is a four-day event that includes speakers, plant/art sales and garden tours. The event rotates every two years between the cities of Portland, Seattle, Victoria B.C. and Vancouver B.C. It will be 2033 before Portland hosts again. I toured the Portland gardens on Friday and Saturday and will share some photos in my next post. The weather was perfect on those days. Not so much on Monday, the day for the Vancouver, Washington gardens tour, and by late afternoon, the temperature had reached 94.

ReplyDeleteGreat photos of some lovely blooms.

ReplyDeleteWait, what?! "Mutabalis" is not a rose, I don't care what you say! LOL.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses Phillip. Isn't it wonderful that the Japanese Beetles are finally gone?
ReplyDeleteThat first rose is amazing. I have a 'Buff Beauty' and like its delicate color.
ReplyDeleteClair Matin has such a beautiful color! I like the fountain, too!
ReplyDeleteLes, you are correct.
ReplyDeleteSweet Bay, I am happy that the Japanese beetles are gone. They were not too bad this year.
beautiful, Phillip
ReplyDeleteI like them all. I think I'm going to but a bare root the Autumn, probably Rosa Moyesii 'Geranium', apparently the hips are fantastic,flagon shaped.
ReplyDeleteWow Phil, lovely blog, so much info too. I look forward to 'digging' in. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! As each photo opened on my screen, I kept thinking..."That's my favorite! No, that one is....no, that one!" I guess I'll just have to love them all!
ReplyDeletePhillip~~Your roses are always beautifully charming. Mutabalis is unique and lovely....I seem to remember that Buff Beauty makes a wonderful show in your garden! gail
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to have so many roses still blooming! I love 'Clair matin', it's just beautiful!
ReplyDeletePhillip, lovely photos. I hope we get a few blooms in September. The Japanese beetles will be gone about the middle of the month. Doesn't leave much time for them to bloom before it frosts.
