Loveliest of lovely things are they on earth that soonest pass away. The rose that lives its little hour is prized beyond the sculptured flower.

Summer is on the way out (in the southern hemisphere), so get ready for pruning your roses.
For those in the northern hemisphere, you are just starting to see the first flush of flowers, my favorite time of the year. Don’t forget to keep those aphids in check! Where ever you are, there’s always jobs that need doing in the rose garden!

Creating A Fragrant Garden
A fragrant garden is not made from one plant, or even one season. It is built in layers: bulbs, shrubs, climbers, herbs, foliage, roses, and quiet corners where scent can gather. Some plants give their best in spring, others wait for the heat of summer, and a few become precious simply because they flower when the rest of the garden is sleeping.
