I realized that August is almost over and I hadn't posted here yet!  I am not a fan of summer. If you've been reading here you'll know that it's about all I can do to keep my garden watered in the summer heat.  I look forward to autumn and cooler weather.  
I promised the roses part of our Chelsea Flower Show visit from back in May. Here ya go.  
Peter Beales' booth was glorious.

At David Austin Roses' booth there were introducing a rose to commemorate Roald Dahl. Below is an enormous Peach from "James & The Giant Peach", one of Roald Dahl's famous stories. David Austin's booth had beautiful roses in it. But it was crowded and to be honest, I think Peter Beales' booth was better.

They were ALL beautiful.  
Happy Gardening!
