The hybrid musk roses love fall/early winter weather
in my PNW garden. My 'Propserity' and 'Moonlight'
are both blooming, Darlow's Enigma (which gets
no direct light any time of year) and Lyda Rose both
have blooms, as well as a climber, Golden
Showers.
The thrushes are chowing down on the
chokeberries (aronia), the winter jasmine is nearly
in full bloom (jasmine nudiflorum), as well as the two
sasanqua camillas I have, a white one and
'Yuletide' (red with yellow centers).
In an effort not to complete total sacriledge on this
list, I can mention one perennial that's still
blooming, cimicifuga! Real blooms too, not just
"left over" stuff.
We have barely had frost here so most things look
good and anything with berries is stunning with
everything being so gray or brown right now. Most
of the silver plants, like the artemesias, look good
too.
I enjoy seeing the bare-branched trees this time of
year; it gives me an opportunity to appreciate their
shapes -- and to take note where the birds have
nested.

For mine is just a little old-fashioned garden where
the flowers come together to praise the Lord and
teach all who look upon them to do likewise.
