My favourite rose.......

I was not going out into the garden today, but I did. I was glad I did because my favourite rose was blooming. I wish I had seen her yesterday before she was fully out. The Peace Rose, my Dad's favourite and so it is mine also. So much meaning to her. At least for us and it is the most popular rose ever.

One day earlier and the blush of colour would be more prominent.


I love my new rose also. Its a very pale pink. I do not yet know her name but think I may have the ticket. I love pale pink roses.


My favourite Day lilly also bloomed today. I love all of them but this one is so pure and pretty.


several of my newer ones came out all at once also.





Some of my new "daisies" that were planted and did nothing last year bloomed and hey my Lavender is still growing. I think I may have found the right spot. If this cooler weather stays for a few days I may get a few things done. I did pull a few weeds today but need a shovel to have a go at it.


The Bee Balm is blooming and has spread. I did plant some new ones but those were done early. I hope they all seed themselves. I may go to the garden center and see if they have any sales.


I tried to pull a few weeds, make enough space to put my hens. I will go out tomorrow and maybe try to pull a few more with a hand trowel. The Herbs need to be cut back. They have gone to seed.

The Hydrangeas that Jo gave me are spreading under the Burning bush. They die back every year but fill in the background.

This is the bell flower that I like, but it's spreading all over the whole gardens. I should pull it while it's in flower so that it doesn't spread more that it does.

Well maybe if I can get some weeding done I will take some "after" pictures. Tomorrow we take the girl to the Groomers, they are so cute right now but so hot. Poor babies. Maybe some after pictures of them also.
