What a lovely post for Mother's Day! Love your roses as ever!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous display for this special day!
ReplyDeleteWow! The roses are beautiful. I love the Autumn Joy mixed in, too.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was close enough to see your roses in person. They are magnificent.
ReplyDeleteThe roses are outta this world! Hope you have lots of visitors today! It's a great day for smelling the roses......
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful - wished I lived close enough to stop by when your garden is open!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I could have toured your garden Phillip. I will have to settle for the photos you chose to show. Your garden is a wonder. I bet there were plenty of Mothers dragging, I mean walking through your garden with their loved ones this weekend. Love this coooler weather.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to experience this fantastic garden in person today. I had to drive 2 1/2 hours to get there but it was well worth it. Phillips photographs are always lovely, but the scent of the roses and the happy birds giving thanks for this paradise can only be experienced in person. There is the double draw of a restored Frank Lloyd Wright house open to the public Tues-Sunday a very short distance away.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phillip and Michael, for sharing!

*mouth hanging wide open* Phillip, that is so beautiful! I wish roses would grow and bloom so exuberantly in Mumbai.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I received the book you sent me a couple of days ago and have just surfaced after immersing myself in it. What a lovely, l-o-v-e-l-y book! Thank you.
ReplyDeletePlease take a peek at my blog, I've posted about it... http://the-urban-gardener.blogspot.com/2010/05/warm-hues-of-generosity.html
Barbara, it was a pleasure meeting you and I hope you can come again.
ReplyDeleteSunita, glad to hear it and I left you a message.
Absolutely beautiful. I think my favorite is the grout of Gartendirektor Otto Linne.

Can't wait for more pics. Truly lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post, from me, a mother. I particularly loved the picture of the climbing rose rising to sympathise with the 'empty nest syndrome'!
ReplyDeleteLucky, Lucky neighbors and other nearby folks who get to stroll through your gardens of roses! How utterly gorgeous! Fabulous garden Phillip! The original 'Mother's Day' was a protest of war day... perhaps a "Peace' rose was blooming? Love the bird house too!
ReplyDeleteDitto all the above, I've run out of superlatives for your roses
