Just finished up fall planting with my little garden helpers in hopes of some spring flowers!

From Breck's online -- 

Spotlight Lily Tree Collection including 1 Lifestyle Lily, 1 Montego Bay Lily, 1 Red Hot Lily, 1 Ovation Lily, and 1 Olympic Torch Lily

Montego Bay is in the front porch side bed and the other four are in the front two corner beds.

1 Beau Regard Allium in the front corner bed

also 10 Red Dynasty Tulips in the front porch bed that were a free gift with purchase

Front porch bed Happy Generation Tulips from Menard's

Back porch and front corner beds, Queen of Night Tulips from Lowe's 

Back porch Claudia Tulips from Lowe's

Back porch Ruby Giant Crocus from Lowe's 

Front porch bed Banja Luka Tulips from Menard's 

Back porch bed Orange County Asiatic Lilies

Here's hoping they all come up in the spring although I have seen some bulbs that were dug up by squirrels from the front corner beds :( 

George Burns Rose

George Burns Floribunda Rose Bush

First blooms for the year -- 6/5/2014

Planted 6/2013 -- from Weeks Roses

Climbing New Year Rose

Above photo is from 5/19 after planting. This was a bagged rose.

Below photo is from 5/30, look at all that new growth!  Lookin' good, Climbing New Year!

Tiffany Rose

This rose bush is the biggest one I've bought so far this season.  It is gorgeous and the flowers smell so wonderful!  I think it is my favorite rose bush so far :)

All opened up, such a beautiful bright light pink with yellow undertones.

CL Fandango Rose

This is my second rose to really start blooming this year, a Climbing / CL Fandango Rose.  Also from Windmill Pan American Nursery. 

Opening up from a beautiful orange tipped yellow bud to an almost peachy orange.  It does open rather quickly!

After a day in the hot sun the peach/orange/yellow turns to a bright red orange and is quite pretty!

Lots of buds on this one! Can't wait to see them all opening :)

Double Time Hybrid Tea Rose

This is my first rose to bloom in my new rose garden! It is in the front bed. It is not a well known rose and seems to be a hybridized creation from Pan American Nursery Products Inc out of Canada, I'm planning to e-mail them for some confirmation. It is not listed on the American Rose Society's list but is similar to the Paradise rose in looks according to some gardenweb rose growers.

Two different blooms with different colors were the first to open. One was lavendar and one was pink.

The pink one was bigger and was lighter tipped with dark pink.

After they opened up the pink one was huge and so pretty!  Love the double toned pink.

Check out that color change on the same rose! After a day in the hot sun the rose was almost all hot pink!

This is my first rose plant to bloom! I'm so excited and completely in love with the bright colors, even if they are a little different than the photo on the box.

Okay this is just a note to myself, today (5/18/12) I treated all the rose plants with Bayer All in One Rose and Flower Care Concentrate and trimmed off all the blackspot on our small established rose. It says to reapply in 6 weeks so that would be... 6/29/12 -- just so I remember the date :)
