Roses in a Cottage Garden in Roses in a Cottage Garden

I love my roses, but I have never cared for the look of any formal type of garden, not even rose gardens. Instead, I have planted my many roses informally in my garden, which is very much a cottage garden. Take a picture tour with me to see my roses.

Rita, I love your informal mixture in a no-space-wasted garden. Beautiful! Thanks for the tour.

I also love the informal mixture. No matter how many roses I grow, I always strive to have a garden with roses in it rather than a rose garden. You've done a marvelous job of doing that.

Beautiful as always, Rita. Thanks for sharing your exceptionally lovely
garden. Floribundaville sounds like it should be a song.

I love it -- "Wasting away again in Floribundaville...

" So lovely to see your gardens again in these pictures, Rita, and I know it won't be so long now... love your roses -- and irises -- and day lilies, etc, etc...

Absolutely gorgeous! I envy your ability to grow your roses so close together. Your plants look so lush and healthy, without any signs of too much moisture from close quarters. Well done!
