The roses are looking amazing, keep sharing the Alnwick too, I have that one and/or Jubilee Celebration on my wishlist for next season. Your patio…what a dream! Love it.

Will do! Thank you!!!

I'm listening to Far From the Madding Crowd right now and was so surprised and pleased that you have roses with both the main characters names - Gabriel Oak, and Bathsheba! Along with your Roald Dahl and Lady of Shalott, you have quite the collection of literary roses. I love it!

That is so funny because it does sound thematic and in fact it is completely based on the beautiful rose looking beautiful that each one was picked…except for Roald Dahl which was for my kids: their fave author. Maybe I should go down this road now! Thanks for the fun comment!

The roses look great. Can't wait to see the blooms. How did you get rid of the aphids?

First, manually removed with my hand. Then sprayed with water. Then neem oil spray!
