Red Simplicity Hedge Roses

Last weekend Mr. Wonderful planted 3 hedge roses for me that I had ordered from Jackson & Perkins.  I was still recovering from an illness and only supervised from the seat of my "garden scoot".  These were placed in front of the little picket fence in the front yard.  After a week most of the yellow leaves are gone and they look fairly good.  There are even 1 or 2 buds appearing.

Lavender

Last month Mr. H dug out the huge old lavender that was taking over the garden and swallowing up the little fountain.  Today we planted three smaller lavender plants in that space.  Two are Hidcote and the third taller one is called "Sweet".  I've got to keep these trimmed back regularly so they keep to a more compact size.  Also fertilized the Iceberg rose trees and the Cottage Farms roses near them to see how do in the fall compared to the other roses that have not been fertilized.
