Out Of Control!


I have two Cecil Brunner roses in the backyard.......and they are blooming like crazy!!



Cecil Brunner is a climbing rose, an old garden rose, with a wonderful fragrance!


The Simplicity rose is a hedge rose.....I have them planted along the fence in the backyard, as well as along the front of the Xavier Ct. house.

I love planting lavender with my roses...the two plants grow well together, and you can't believe how wonderful the yard smells!


Maybe I love these roses so much because they remind me of my Dad.....I helped him plant them our first weekend in the Xavier Ct. House....19 years ago this month!

    Beautiful roses, I like the assorted collection of hanging items peeking out from behind them.

    Roses, of any sort, are my favorite flower, too. All my rose bushes are flowering like crazy and I'm lovin' it. Looks like you have quite the rose setup yourself.

    Hugs,

    OK, I am doing a double drool roses AND lavender! I am so jealous, it's to humid here in Orlando to grow lavender. I bet your whole yard sounds fabulous!!!
