Debra,
I'm glad you got rain. They are saying more rain for us later this week and over 4 days. We'll see if that changes.
I'd love to go see some gardens and yes, I love almost every rose I see.

It never got above 62° but we had sun and it was a cold wind as promised. I kept my hooded sweatshirt on even tho I sweated a little when the sun came out. When I was done and cooled off, the wind went right thru my coat and thin jogging pants. We didn't stay out all afternoon but came on for a cup of coffee and a shower.

The wild blue phlox is perfuming the yard and smells so good!

All of these are Lilliput Iris from Schreiners. They fade as the tall bearded come into bloom. I love them! My neighbor gave me teeny starts and they grew into nice clumps.
