The Rose Garden for my Daughter Blake

The Rose Garden is dedicated to my daughter Blake, my bud of beauty, bonnie flower. No hothouse rose is she. She is a wild rose found growing in the bramble. A rare find.Above, this is Chorale rose. The picture does not do the color justice. It is the very palest pink. Chorale makes beautiful buds.
The above picture and the one below it are Grandma's Yellow Rose. This is a true yellow rose. It has really come around with all the rain. It's gotten shrubbier and taller.
This is Chrysler Imperial. What a great smell. A very sophisticated rose smell. Really nice.
Chrysler Imperial again.
This is Dame de Couer. I have 4 red varieties of rose shrubs in the garden. Cadenza, Valentine, Chrysler Imperial, and Dame de Couer.
Shown in this picture are poppies, larkspur, Dahlberg Daisies, and Dame de Couer Roses. Below is another picture of Chorale.
Some Paul Redman irises in front of Cadenza.
Poppies and Chorale.
A beautiful blue iris.
Belinda's Dream - probably the best rose for a landscape if you want to stay away from the Knockouts.
Above is Lady Hillingdon. It has a unique color which I like very much. Below are poppies and Chrysler Imperial in the background.
This is Valentine rose above and Belinda's Dream below.
