The Second Flush

The gardens are looking a bit quiet right now, at least compared to what they are in the spring. The iris, except for a few rebloomers, are done, the lilies are wrapping up their show, and the roses, only blooming here and there. The exception is this amazing second flush of the climber, 'Royal Sunset'. I cannot say enough good things about this rose. It is lovely, fragrant and dependable. I may find a spot for another one next spring!
