Yet another Rose!
Pink Carpet Rose
For someone who doesn't like roses...
I have more than you would think.
Another Pink Carpet, with LOTS of buds to come.
They are pretty easy care. Stay relatively low to the ground. Approx. 2.5ft tall by 3ft wide.
Pink Carpet. (again)
More Hydrangea coming on.
These guys might be too close together... Its 2 bushes but in some places it looks like one bush with multi colored blooms.

Those roses are pretty Chitweed. I was going to put a rose garden in here this year but decided against it. I spend sooo much time at work in the rose garden battling one pest or another that I decided not too put any in here. Just not enough time in the day to care for them. They ARE beautiful though!

Thanx Netty. I'm not a big fan of roses myself. I choose the easy ones to take care of and it ends up ok. The carpet roses, and knock outs are SO easy. Maybe you can try one next year.

SNAP Chitweed - I'm not a great rose fan either although I do seem to collect quite a few in my garden.  I love seeing pictures of them and yours is delightful but they can be labour intensive and vulnerable to insect attack and disease. I do like floribunda roses though as they have so many blooms - just like your carpet rose.

I am also a fan of the Carpet flower roses. I have had the pink one myself, but purchased a new one last year, which is orangy in colour.

I bet thats the one they call 'Coral'. It is a great color. How is that variety doing for you?

Beautiful flowers Chitweed.
I really need to try my hand at growing Hydrangea, I just love the look of them.
