A Walk Around the Yard

Clematis

My husband brought a couple of blooms inside so we could enjoy them in here, too. :0)

Rio Samba Roses

I love it that this rosebush shows all different stages of this wonderful rose at the same time. It starts out in a tight yellow bud with dark coral edges. It blooms into a bright yellow bloom with coral accents, and then finishes with the whole bloom coral.

This is a second Rio Samba rose bush. At the beginning of the spring, I cut all 3 of these bushes WAAAAAY down, cutting off 2/3 of the branches, which had gotten long and scraggly. I had no idea if the roses would come back or croak. Happily, they seem to have appreciated the hacking I did on them.
This is the 3rd bush. Right now all three are blooming their hearts out. I need to trim the all coral roses to encourage new buds.
