Oh, I want to be like Alice and shrink down so I am smaller than a caterpillar and then curl up and live in your Artistry Hybrid Tea when it blooms. Those lovely petals would make a fine house don’t you think?

I love the “Betty Boop” floribunda. Just curious- does it have “Betty Prior” genes in there somewhere?

As always, gorgeous flowers. I’m so envious of your roses. I have such a horrible problem with black spot. Even with the aniques…

Try stripping your roses of all leaves this winter while they are dormant and spraying with a dormant spray such as lime sulfur. This will kill any mold spores on contact and will set you on the “good foot” for healthy plants this spring.

Hi Chris, your garden in June is certainly something to remember! What a lovely photo! Makes me longing for the spring flush next year! I also especially like the photos of ‘Veteran’s Honor’ and ‘Tabasco Cat’, both seem to be outstanding roses. Thanks for posting!
