Rescued Roses!

I got a call from a dear friend today asking me if I wanted any of her plants that she was throwing out.  I of course said yes…a few yellow rose shrubs and some white daylilies!  I know exactly where they will go – right outside the Guest Suite windows. 


You see, my neighbor chooses not to weed the yard on his side of the street, so the view is not pretty…our family refers to it as a ‘wheat field’, especially when the grass isn’t mowed for months!  Unless you like the look of this! yuk…(don’t get me started)!

You are probably wondering where in the world I have room for these new rose shrubs?  Yes, I thought that at first too, but I am going to plant these babies in front of the picket fence where the street is…so they may be grown happily and provide a better view for my guests. Well, at least during the summer months…lol

Difficult to see from this photo, but the view goes right onto the ‘wheat field’ across the way! So I cannot wait to get these pretty ladies planted! Which will more than likely be tomorrow! 


Here are a few new blooms I’d want to share with you this week…listed in order ~ Snapdragon, scabiosa, snapdragon, globe flower, cottage rose, daylily, mystery plant, hardy fuchsia, Siberian iris, lily, Baronne Prevost rose, unnamed rose, fairy rose.

I will definitely be sharing a few photo’s next month so you can see the progress…I just hope I can get them to survive and follow through with my vision I’d like to see!

Hope to see you at the garden party here later this evening?  To see where else I am linking to this week – please check my “Cottage Links” label…xoxo, tracie
