Here's a view of White Dawn, climbing up toward the backyard deck.

Prairie Harvest is a Buck shrub rose.

We'll take a break with Gold Medal. I need to run some errands before the afternoon gets away from me!

Pink Intuition is amazing. I wish it weren't so hard to find.

I also grow Queen Anne's Lace. I only had to throw the seeds around once. Now it comes up everywhere, but it's so easy to pull out of the undesirable spots. It's a sweet old-fashioned flower that looks great in bouquets.

Exactly, Zuzu. Queen Anne's Lace flowers are like the most complex doilies. I really don't mind where the plant shows up each spring, because if it's in an inconvenient spot I can easily lift it out. And the same thing holds true if they get a little too dense or leggy and start toppling over. I just thin them out. I also like the cupped "bird's nests" the flowers make as they dry and go to seed. I have a friend whose daughter is a botanist who worked in Hawaii for a year, and she said they are prized flowers over there. Isn't that something? Everything is relative. Our common weeds are their prizes, and their common flowers are our exotics. Go figure.

Fabulous parade Mike!!
I too will need that Paloma Blanca, as well as Bouquet Parfait, for my some day bigger garden.

I'm checking with RU to see if they have that Hawkeye Belle in stock. I really need to order that one. it's a beautiful rose.
