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.  'Cornelia' 'Lady Emma Hamitlon' 'Lamarque' 'Marchesa Boccella' 'Mutabilis' 'Playboy' 'Purple Pavement' 'Radway Sunrise' 'Darcey Bussell' 'Golden Celebration' 'The Impressionist' 'Lady of Shallot' 'Buff Beauty' 'Julia Child' & 'The Impressionist' 'Sunny Eleganza' 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt T...

Garden Share Sunday: The Oregon Garden

The Oregon Garden, Silverton, OR 
The Oregon Garden in Silverton is a great garden to visit in the middle of winter because of the fantastic conifer collection. I visited in January of 2015 and have never been any other time of year but maybe I will remedy that this year. 

If you would like to share, post a link in the comments section.

    We don't see a lot of conifers in gardens down here. Textual contrast is fascinating, especially first photo.

    Thanks, Phillip, for starting this.

    My links are about Camellias, the brightest star down here this time of year.

    I am excited to see this garden. I am trying to incorporate more conifers and their cousins into my garden. I am preparing for my dotage. ;)

    Thank you for sharing this beautiful Oregon garden. I am a fan of using various types of evergreens for all season interest, and this collection is absolutely stunning! I have quite a few evergreens in my own collection that give me much joy, but I am always looking for more!
