This morning’s harvest. Now it’s bokay time! And we start looking for Japanese Beetles. They come and destroy! If you want to know more about Japanese Beetles and what I do, I did a blog post about them last year called Bloom Thyme Friday: Meet the Beetles. You can search for it on TheGardenDiary.com. Do Japanese Beetles come to visit your garden? If so, what do you do? ❓
Mother of Pearl is holding up to the heat! 🔥Mid 90s for several days! I really love this rose. Healthy, light fragrance and power bloomer. I have 8 of these roses, but this video is of one plant. The color is more peach than is showing in this late day video. Places you might find these Roses…
Earth Angel… a healthy and fragrant Kordes rose. What do you think of the bloom form?
Another yummy one! ⭐️ Vanessa Bell was recommended to me by @michaelrosarian and he was so right. It is lovely and has a wonderful fragrance! The color is the perfect yellow for me! I haven’t made things easy for her as I moved her just as she was getting cozy and still she is going strong! 💛
🍾Pop the cork for CHAMPAGNE WISHES! Another fabulous rose from @easyelegancerose and @rosesbyping is blooming strong today. Gorgeous, healthy and fragrant. If you’re local, I saw this rose on clearance at @loweshomeimprovement recently. 🥂
In the flurry of open garden activity I am so glad someone asked to get our picture. This man!!! 😍 My wonderful partner of almost 44 years. My Pearl.
I love just about any plant that climbs and vines! (Especially New Dawn, Peggy Martin and Etoile Violette Clematis when they are doing their thing!) 🌱🌱🌱😄 Do you grow clematis with roses?
I did a bit of bokay making today. This was my favorite. 💐
‘The Faun’ is just about at peak this evening. Such a beautiful and extremely healthy rose. Slight fragrance. #eveninggardenwalk

ABOUT ME…

I know that to everything there is a season, but I’m a gardener and I start counting the days until spring the day after Christmas. I live and grow in Zone 5b where I care for my large garden of roses and their companions. Read on here.
