In Victorian times yellow roses symbolized jealousy. Today it represents friendship, joy and affection.

These are newly planted this year with 'Moonbeam' coreopsis, bringing joy and gladness to the garden.
I just think these pictures are too, too big. It's as if you have your face in the life-size rose. What do y'all think?

It is a lovely rose. I found some bidens that are annuals here, and thought of you. I don't remember if I've grown them before or not. I seem to have a lot of yellow in my gardens.
I think I like the photos big, Nell. Maybe it's my poor eye sight!
Your roses look very beautiful. I don't have much yellow except for my Hyperon daylily. I would love to have a yellow rose.
I like big! Then I can see details.
Lovely roses and the pale coreopsis looks very pretty with it. I tried them here and lost every single one. I can raise the regular leafed ones, but not the thread-leaf.
I like the larger photos. I worry about people with tiny monitors whereas I have a 19". Small images get lost sometimes.
If you haven't tried it yet, consider adding some Coreopsis "Full Moon" to the bed as well. It just came into bloom here about 2 weeks ago, but the blooms are much larger compared to the moonbeam, and almost match the color of the Sunny buds. The fine foliage is nice too.
I like closeups where you can see all the details of the blooms .. and I love the yellow rose!
Your roses are so beautiful! I wish I could grow them. I do terrible with roses... You have a nice blog! So glad I stopped by. -Jackie
I like this rose and don't mind the photos...details are easy to see...gail
I like the big pics - would be great if I could smell the flowers as well!
The coreopsis is very pretty next to that rose - I had a few plants a couple of years ago but the snails ate them.
Thanks for your advice about the Datura. I'll look out for them when I'm ordering this winter.
