A Sense of Enclosure

Hello Everyone,

      At the south of our little garden cottage there is a small enclosed garden that is a nice sheltered place to enjoy lunch. It is amazing how quickly this garden filled in as it is only a few years since I moved some rose suckers into a narrow border along with a Beautybush that was being crowded in another bed.

Anyway,I have set up a table and collected the china that you may have seen on the new cupboard in the cottage that I showed you a few days ago.

My thrift shop pink plates and some Fairy roses.

Some sparkling raspberry drink

There is a clematis on either side of the arbor along with the roses.

The angel is watching over us.

She must have plucked this rose from the bush nearby!

The clematis on the right is Joesephine and on the right is Jackmani superbra.

Tea anyone?

I love a sense of enclosure in the garden- don't you?

Just a reminder to any local readers of the garden tour here on Sunday afternoon from 2-4:30.Tickets are $8. and all proceeds go to Muscular Dystrophy.

Romancing the Rose!

Hello Everyone,

        We just had a thunder and lightning storm pass through here and we are getting more rain again. I haven't had to worry about watering this summer and the roses seem to be enjoying getting a regular dose of water as they have bloomed well this summer.

I think roses add so much romance to the garden or in the home.

I thought I would show you my pink roses today.

Heritage Rose.

Prairie Princess-I remember that Kathy Renweld used to recommend this rose on 'The Gardener's Journal' -do any of you Canadians remember this show from several years ago. I used to love it and still have some shows taped that I watch in late winter sometimes.

I think this is Country Dancer but I am not positive.

Mary Rose

Antique rose.

I am not sure of the name of all my roses sadly, as I have been adding roses every year to the garden for 20 years and my memory fails me sometimes!
 I have other colors too but today it is all about the romantic pink ones.

Thank you for stopping by again and welcome to my new followers as well as the old ones of course.

Carolyn
