Everything looks soooo Very Very pretty, Pat....That first Yellow Rose is exquisite! I love the way it is climbing up that post....Such a lovely time of year......! Spring is my favorite season.....We are swiftly moving into summer....Lord, where does the time go.
This really makes me want to have more flowers in my garden, those yellow roses are perfect - do you mow them right back in the winter - apparently that is the key...
Nice iron boot-scraper you appear to have there. I've been trying to get one, but it's the sort of thing that never turns up in junk shops as there's always a genuine and pressing need to scrape yer boots over here.
Mike and Ann: unlike yours my aquilegia were rubbish this year.
Joey: that's kind:)
ALW: we do prune them in the autumn but also when I deadhead(a favourite occupation) I cut right back to the next nodule - it encourages growth. I love learning language nuances; we prune roses and mow lawns. What do you do with lawns in N.Z./U.S.A.?
Gadjo: its as old as the house - 1924. It's never I used as - in these parts we tend to enter the back way- except for her Maj of course:)
Without a doubt, the yellow rose is symbolic and very precious. I'd go so far as to suggest that particular bloom gets a lot of love lavished upon it by a certain young lady who wears her heart on her sleeve.
Good to see the roses out - of course they still have a way to go up here, although I did see a bud for one out on my walk this morning. Maybe in a couple of weeks :)
We did have a couple of blue poppies in the garden about 7 years ago. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I think the poppies got dug up by mistake one winter and we've not had any in the garden since
Grand mother but still a girl at heart. Married to MTL(my true love)after a separation of 30 years. Had three careers: trained paediatric nurse, National photographic model and business woman. Now settled in SW and enjoying our five children and ten grandchildren and making the most of what time we have left.
In January 2013 I lost MTL.

The daisies are adoorable
Gorgeous!
Naomi:I can never have too many roses. I know what you mean about time. I can't believe it's Friday already.
Rog: you couldn't resist that could you:)
Marjolein: they've been a long time coming this year.
Look at that...life!
(It's me. UB. I'm toying with my site.)
Exile: glad you warned me I'll pop over later.
Our climbing rose is laden with blooms, but the ones in the rosebed are quite late! Photos on mine later! x
John: I look forward to it:)
Pat, your garden looks stunning (as usual). I think your roses are a good ten days ahead of ours.
Everything looks so green. You don't need words when your photos are this beautiful!

Sweet sweet blossoms from a sweet sweet lady.

Keep the faith.
Granny Annie; you say the sweetest things:)
Chef: I will.

I envy you the little Erigerons on the doorstep.
Kim: I always remember the gorgeous blue poppies I saw in Oban. Do you have any?
Kevin: they are a joy - pop up everywhere and no work involved.

Kim: they obviously feel at home in Scotland and look amazing.
Glorious. I'm going to wear perfume before I visit your blog, Pat, so when I look at the garden photos, I'll pretend I'm smelling the flowers.
GG: garden fragrances don't seem to be as strong these days. The bay and jasmine are two good ones here.
incredibly beautiful...magazine picture perfect!
Gypsy: thank you:)
