Since we’re on roses, here’s a rose bush that we have to hack back every year, as it’s blocking the doorway to the woodshed. The woodshed is incorporated into a larger building, with the well pump room, the tool shed room, and Shamora’s garden house (kind of her work space where she stores garden tools, pots, potting soil, etc).
This is another rose just to the right.
This climbing rose is climbing up the Catalpa, which itself will have large white flowers later in the season.
Clematis in full bloom. We have a number of clematis that all seem to bloom at different times.
New growth on the Bird’s Nest Spruce. This was getting smothered by buttercups and a budlia, which has to pruned back every year as it grows quickly.
Peonies.
Sage.
