Sue ...

If the color on my monitor is correct ... per the photography forum .. Smiling ... that is one of the few orange roses I think I would like to grow, but I doubt if it would stand up to my high summer temps ... Sighing!

If you were to look at my garden this year, it the overall look seems to be roses and weeds. I've been transplanting the roses I want to keep into just a couple of beds and giving away others as I am changing the garden to be more of a xeriscape type of garden that is more suited to this climate and soil. By clustering the roses into just a few beds because they have different water needs, it means I can't grow as many roses as I have in the past.

It's been hard to decide which ones to keep because the roses are looking so good this year.

I took a few photos the other morning when I was trying to figure out why I couldn't get good photos in morning light and was going to try again this morning, but realized I should be spraying down the roses instead because this is spider mite weather ... Grumbling

I'll try and add other photos later. For now, this is part of the fence bed in front of the slope:

I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
