It appeared that this was sent to me only, so I'm forwarding it
to the group for their enjoyment as well...

Erick, the Cecile Brunner is a very hardy climbing rose 
with prolific little (4 cm diameter) light pink blossoms.  Mine are covered
in pink now and in the fall, with a smattering of them throughout the rest
of the year.  As to your English, don't worry - I lived in the Grand Duchy
of Luxembourg for 10 years and never learned French half as well as
you write in English.

Thanks for your contribution,

Dear Nancy and dear fellow gardeners,

I was probably ashamed to write in English since this language is not my 
mother's tang. I am right now overcoming my psychological border. Sorry for 
mistakes and do not hesitate to correct me.

Anyway, I am living in San Francisco and my garden is very small, around 400 
square feet. The yard is basically squared. There is a deck in the middle 
where some Cymbidium and geranium are blossoming. Around this deck, a 
wonderful snow bowls is breaking out as well as a Genista porloc. The 
situation for this latter is not the best because of too much shade but the 
contrast between the white color of the Viburnum opulus and the yellow of the

Genista is pretty interesting. Some rose trees are blossoming but my favorite

is one of them with small pink flowers. I think this is a Cecile Brunner rose

tree but I am not sure. Does anyone have a clue for recognize this specie for

sure? 
The purple lilac is already over and some sweet peas are starting to grow. I 
was a bit late by planting them two weeks ago. I know. Nobody is perfect. In 
my opinion, the best way for having gorgeous sweet peas is to saw them in 
October. Do you agree with me?
I also planted Santolina to design a bed border. I used this idea a couple of

times in France and I like the result. This idea is to plant one green 
Santolina following by a silver one and so one. Because I am not interested
by 
the flowers, I maintain each shrub by cutting them regularly. Again, the 
result is great and gives a permanent effect, during spring as well as during

winter...

Hope to reading from you

Bests

Erick

One of the neat things of seasons past has been the
description of our gardens at various times of year.
Are we all so busy digging, planting, feeding, that
we don't have time to share the beauty?
