Garden Journal

The Main Fountain Rose Bed has all four colors of roses blooming now - Mary Rose (Pink), Ambridge (Salmon), Iceberg (White) and Wild (Deep Red). The Wild Rose was originally a grafted rose that reverted to its root stock when the graft died off two winters ago. Although it is short-lived (and always a bugger for black spot), it's color is so saturated and the form is so loose and flowing, that I can't resist keeping it!
