But then I slip roses into a vase on our supper table, or breathe deeply of an heirloom, and I change my mind.
I didn't get my fussier tea roses photographed for this entry (later?) but here are a few toughies elsewhere in our garden.
Chamomile, Evening Primrose, Roses in Background: Laundry Garden
The "Fairy," Laundry Garden
Back Pool Garden, With Lamb's Ears and Evening Primrose
A rambler on our back deck
Climbing "Blaze," Pump Garden
Blackberry and Assorted Landscape Roses, Thistle Hill
On our table at the moment. . .
David Austen, a favorite. . .what gorgeous, Peter-Rabbit-illustration shape and ruffled petal pattern

We haven't (Knock on Wood) seen our first Japanese Beetles yet.
They are a major pain in the Gluteous.
We found out quickly that the pherome traps do more harm than good.
They are akin to hanging a "Hello Sailor" sign next to your garden.
I've found after several years of grief from the little devils that treating your yard during the fall and late winter does more good than anything. That's where the grubs breed.
If all else fails, Sevin spray or dust at least discourages them.
Lovely Roses, your Auntie is envious!
They are a symbol of the three lovely Roses that you and Martin are raising so well!
Absolutely gorgeous! By the way, have you ever considered joining Green Thumb Sunday? It is fun! If you are interested, there is a link on the right hand side of my front page...will take you there...
