Close Julia but mine has only very faintly pink white flowers; nothing so dark. also very 'thready' in form, not so lush as your picture shows. Other than that.... lol. It generally isn't the -40 (we only get down to maybe -25 and that not so often) that defeats me mostly; it is too much moisture, at least for these plants. They are less than lovely coming out of winter in a big yukky clump that looks dead. I just left it this year and there it grew. Others may have grown also had I just left them alone.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo

I see. Had one years ago but it was bright pink. Still get seedlings now and then. Seems like mine had that same problem.

Last of July and the garden is not looking the best. Time to dead head and push for re-bloom on some plants.

Hanging pots filling in well.

Thumb of 2014-07-29/springcolor/13ba9d Front door containers are looking good.

Some of the containers are not what I hoped they would be. Thumbs down


Thumb of 2014-07-29/springcolor/a96114 Just have a few roses left of the selection I use to grow.

Foliage garden looks nice. Flowers not so much.

Thumb of 2014-07-29/springcolor/fcb335 a long shot of the back yard.

My garden has lots of flowers but looks rather like a jungle -- not at all well planned. I want to move many things to better spots but just not up for it now. Maybe in another four weeks or so. I hoped to move things so they could re-establish roots before all sets in. I may just have to crawl out there and just do it as I can.
