Beautiful plants in a beautiful yard! I'm amazed that you can grow such a gorgeous, lush flowers in the far north!

Dear Rebeccalynn, thank you for your kind comments. Over the last 4 decades, the U. of Minnesota has developed this wonderful series of cold-hardy azaleas (some down to -40). And now northern gardeners can also grow beautiful hardy shrub roses without having to resort to the "Minnesota tip." Where are you from? I'll bet your options are considerably greater!
