Some progress had been made in my new " Rose Garden"

As always, i am not doing it right. Now it is not the best time to plant roses, but in California it works any way. I am still struggling with some issues: what to use for a border, how to cover the soil, what to plant in-between, but we are making progress. And few of the roses still have their last blooms. These are those few.

This rose called "fragrant cloud", it smells soooo.. good. The color is true coral, not quite as on the picture. My friend Inna told me that this one is not decease resistant and has too thin stems, but for now, I like it.

This is Hibiscus, Chinese Rose. The flower has double petals, which makes it a bit unusual. And it is a tree, not a bush. And it is in full bloom now, when other roses practically finished their season. I hope it will survive winter, as I had bushes before and they did not do very well in winter.

This is climbing rose. Very rich, passionate color, such a contrast to a white cool beauty below.

This is a very old rose, has few flowers, but each one is so sophisticated and elegant. For me this is a visual symbol of perfection.
