Home Again - Hello Roses
'Crown Princess Margarita' I'm back home after a three week garden tour of the Cornwall region of England. It was phenomenal and I'll be sharing photos from the trip later. I got back home to an explosion of growth and bloom in our garden. I was grateful that we received some rain and so was Michael, who didn't have to do a great deal of watering. This is my favorite time of year when the garden bursts into bloom and everything is fresh and unblemished. The roses are especially a treat right now.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous roses, Phillip!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phillip for a wonderful tour of your garden today. Although it was a wet and soggy day, everything looked wonderful and made the day one to remember for a long time. Would love to come back when hydrangeas are in bloom.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Phillip. Love these beauties. My roses aren't budding yet. It won't be long.

ReplyDeleteEvery year around this time I start wishing i'd planted some more roses in November or so. This year I really will.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are gorgeous. The pictures make them even more so!
ReplyDeleteSo you have a fondness for pink roses? They are all gorgeous, particularly the David Austins. I'm so sad, my David Austin didn't survive the winter. Boohoo!
