~ White Roses For White Wednesday ~

It's time again for ~ Fertilizer Friday / Flaunt Your Flowers ~ Which is being hasted by Tootsie. And also for ~ Show And Tell Friday ~ Hosted by Cindy. I am glad to join in this week. I would like to share some great roses that work well in our garden.
Along with some antique garden ornaments.If your wondering what the name of these beauties. They are called Iceberg and they're bloom in our garden for at least 10 months out of the year here in Calif.


I don't even need to prune them during the winter. If they get to big I just give them a light trim. The bees seem to luv them too.

I planted them around this antique urn one of a pair. They are 19Th century and are cast iron. I planted some boxwood as a border surrounding the roses near our pool. So if you want a reliable white rose for a white garden try this beauty. And during the full moon she just glows with the moonlight along with other white flowers and garden furniture that is painted white.
This antique cast iron gate is also 19Th century. The dealer I bought it from had told us it was from New Orleans. But I think that might have been a story to spice it up some who knows.
It's a pretty gate and dose just fine in our garden. There is a sunflower in the middle of the gate. And on the top of the gate there are Fleur De Li's.



This gate Leeds you to a new area in the back that has a round flower bed planted with more Iceberg roses, which are boarded with white Allsun. But I am thinking of using something else this fall. Hopefully soon the Texas privet bushes in the background will grow quick to make a wall for a new garden room. I'm still trying to get a new flower border along the fence that will take a lot of sun in this area to complete this room.





Thank You for stopping by and have a great weekend in the garden or hunting for vintage treasures ............Julian
