The garden is in mid-season form now, and some guests from the Salem Rose Society paid a visit yesterday evening. Through the magic of digital photography and the Internet, you can share their experience via the following photos. The first photo shows the welcoming display of rose blooms along the driveway, and the second photo shows the back yard and the esteemed visitors. If you feel like "surfing the web", here is a link to the web site (blog) of the Salem Rose Society:

Update of August 31, 2015: Please allow me to introduce you to the "ground cover" that you see amongst the driveway roses in the upper photo. It's not as exotic as the liverworts and mosses in the back yard rose bed, but I like it just the same. The name of the humble yet indomitable cover is Sagina procumbens. In the driveway bed I treat it with respect, and it gives a bit of a wild aura to the rose display. Examining the lower photo, there's some Sagina in the back yard also. There it is in the circular wells surrounding the 'Queen Elizabeth' roses interspersed in the lawn.
