Thanks all…Yes the second rose pic was taken at night.

The daylily is just a typical orange one found everywhere here and gets quite weedy but makes for some nice privacy in front of the house as it skirts the top of the front wall. Sadly it has a case of leaf streak do to it being overcrowded and very damp here so i will be doing some thinning this fall.

The pink Lily was planted for my second hen I lost – MaryKate. The white roses were rescued from a friend who was tearing them out and the pink John Cabot rose was found on an old homestead where I got my mallow.

I will be moving the roses this fall as they are up against the west side of my foundation, they attract ants and ended up bring hundreds into one wall of our house this year. We solved the nest problem but now I have to decide what to plat to replace the roses to cover up the 2’6” of concrete showing on the west side of our house.

I think the roses would make a nice hedging on the South side of our driveway.
