Rose fountain, long view

More tomorrow. I’m starting to get dizzy. . .

Steady, there! :) These pictures are utterly fabulous, what an incredible garden. What flavor of rose is that on the fountain edge, do you know?

These photos are INSPIRING!

These photos are amazing! Does the garden smell as good as it looks?

*awestruck*

*envious*

*wistful*

WOW.
[that goes for all of these pictures, but ‘twould be rather annoying of me to comment on each, I think, as that would only make more work for you, which is the very last thing I want]

Just… wow.

Thanks for posting these!

One can only imagine owning places like this (and the amount of money it would take to keep them up is probably unimaginable), but it’s lovely to get to visit them. But I have rarely seen actual gardeners at work in public gardens, at least in the quantity you’d think would be necessary to keep everything looking perfect–you have to wonder when they pull the weeds, deadhead the flowers, etc. etc. I could spend six hours a day working in my borders (around here, that would mean pulling weeds) and they would still never look like that. Except maybe for 5 minutes.

I really do need to think about putting in a manageable rose planting. Maybe next year, if I get all the front borders in shape this summer . . .

Oh, NICE!

For a minute, before I scrolled back and read the previous posts, I thought this was one of yours and couldn’t figure out how you’d gotten your garden to look so spacious…
