Summer, Summer, Summer!

Everything has been blooming so beautifully in the heat.  My foxgloves were so amazing this year.  If I understand them correctly, they bloom their second year then die.  I think they come back from seed.  I’m hoping they come back from seed because all of them were blooming this year so I don’t know if I’ll have any next year.   The pretty rose was just purchased.  It smells spicy and fruity and starts out as the palest pink then ripens to this peachy-pink hue.  it is a climber called ‘Pearly Gates’ and upon further research I found out it belongs in a zone 6, not 4.  I’ll try to baby it this winter but it may not be making a repeat appearence next year, either.

So I’ll enjoy it all now!
