Sue- I always have a hard time answering "what kind of _____ are you looking for" questions because I have very very rarely seen a plant that I didn't like and need! Green Grin!

I'm starting my collection of roses in the circle garden, so I'll be starting off with smaller roses. I limited the size to 5x5 at Chamblees. I'll be able to fit 5 more in the outer circle, and I'll do about 12-15 on the inside, hopefully this fall.

After that's filled, I'll be adding in in other areas, so not as limited on size. I'd love to add some English roses as well as more sprawling types then too.

I did also buy one miniture which I planted beside the birdbath and I potted up my 3 drifts from last year and scattered those throughout the landscaping. Progress!

Here's the ones that I bought a couple of weeks ago:

Burgandy Iceburg
Cinco de Mayo
Dame de Coeur
Distant Drums
Nacogdoches
Trumpeter
Easy Does It
Heirloom
Colorific
Country Dancer

I feel like I got some good "standard" colors that every garden should have, so now I'm looking to branch out into the more Wow Green Grin!
