Buff Beauty is breathtaking
ReplyDeleteI swung by your place one day this week on the way home from work. Everything looking great. Hope you are mending after your accident. Stay off of walls. Mary

ReplyDeleteThat last picture is incredible, I get so jealous!
ReplyDeleteThese huge mature climbers are what dreams are made of. Just amazing.

ReplyDeleteStunning! I am so envious of that Buff Beauty... A beautiful rose in a beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteLove the rose/view of the gazebo and the one with the urn. Wonderful vignette designs.
ReplyDeletePhillip, I have serious Rose Envy!!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I have planted Rambling Rector AND Etain, two ramblers, to climb a large Oak (60'+) hope it was not a mistake. Please advise.
Sandra, I left a note on your blog.

ReplyDeletePhillip, I am going backwards in your alphabet of roses and this post has me in awe of your talent! Stunning images of your garden!!
