I actually did what I said I'd do — I've split the lilies page on my Roses web site in two. There's now one page for Asiatic Lilies and a second page for Oriental Lilies. As with the daylilies before … Continue reading

Quieting Down
As is typical for late June/early July, the garden is slowly quieting down from the riot of activity of just a few weeks ago. Most of the roses are done with their first spring flush and are now starting to … Continue reading

A New Web Page
Having posted a "rogues gallery" of the roses that have bloomed this year over on the Rosarian's Corner (a great rose discussion forum), I found that I liked that page and format enough that I've adapted it as a new … Continue reading
Last of the Old, First of the New

Feel The Heat!
The heat of summer has shown up a week early and the forecast is for increasing heat and humidity over the weekend. It's sure to make deadheading less than pleasant. The roses have responded to the heat by opening some … Continue reading
