(These roses have names such as "ann boleyn","tess of the d'urbaville's" and "dick clark's rockin
new year's eve" or something like that.
It's all very jane austen to me.)
"Man the torpedoes" and "Little Lord Fauntelroy"
(Yeah, I'm making these up)
I didn't labor too long and hit "go" on all of the above. And now I'm taking a break from being enamored by these crazy beautiful creatures from Whiteflower Farm, poppies for June, lavender for July, dahlias for August, imagining them, colors and textures all crunched together in pots on a small, ready to be destinkafied patio along with my herbs and some other strong leafy things (and of course a few tomatoes).
I will dedicate the new fragrant garden to my dad, who loved flowers from his own garden much more than edibles. I'll call it the "Nate Stein Memorial Jardin".

ps you are NOT long winded just gorgeous! :)
I, too, am in love with the David Austens. Be sure to look for a rose that declares itself to be a repeat bloomer, or it will be once year (big party!) and no more.
yay it's so nice to have the room to grow lovely smelling flowers. best of luck with yours.
what a lovely dedication to take a inhale such beautiful scents in honor of your father.
i am obsessed withe anything "boylen" perhaps i will add that rose to my garden!
what a sweet tribute to your pops, deb. it will be a beautiful garden, filled with fragrant roses and marvelous cutting flowers.
Sweet! We'll contribute the plaque for the memorial jardin. xoh
These flowers are pure eye candy. Makes me want to reach inside the computer screen and pick them for my home.
I almost like the names of the roses more than the actual flowers...almost. Can't be a lovlier dedication to your dad.

It's going to be gorgeous in you small jardin. And will smell heavenly.

YES! I am so happy to have even had a tiny part in expanding your rose garden/outlook. You need these...for your help. Let's play hooky from work and smell the roses. Love from Positano, P. xxox
oh, it all sounds so lovely. i'm a sucker for a pretty rose, it's the romantic in me. i want to prefer a less traditional flower, but i just can't help it sometimes: the rose! happy planting...
Can we take a moment to appreciate the green spam above? It's like getting paper mailers from your bank urging you to go green and sign up for paperless billing.
Just checking in on you, sweet Deb. Checking in on you and your shop and your new roses. Hope all is well my dear! Xo
These roses are just beautiful..breathtaking, really! and I just love the names ;], expecially "dick clark's rocin' new years eve". Everyone needs a little Dick Clark in their garden, I always say.
