Everyone in the front is starting to take off with blooms, finally. In the back, extreme quiet.. you can hear a pin drop (well, not really). But you know what I mean. So, let's do the very few in the back before we mosey to the front.

On the west side of the house, I have an area approximately 25' long by 16' wide that I've put in.. can't think of exact numbers now, but there's about 35-40 roses in that section. That's where my Oklahoma, Blue Girls, Mr. Lincoln, Pure Perfume, Shockwave, etc are at.

And, speaking of which, here's a beautiful shot of Pure Perfume. She's the only one blossoming on the east side of this area.


On the west side of this area, Sir John Betjeman is finally blossoming.

On the east side of the back yard, only 3 roses are blossoming out of over 50. Here's Summer Sunshine.

In my pond area, where there are a variety of "blue" roses, a Sterling Silver is blossoming.

Across the way is a Singin' the Blues (got these at Lowes!)
