It all started with some pink glads I bought that bloomed orange...hmmm. What to do? I had started to plant a few warm color toned roses on one side of my garden....a pale yellow here, a pinkie peach there. As I said in my previous post I started noticing a new emerging color scheme with pinks and oranges. So when these bloomed last summer I tagged them and moved them later on in the season over to the warmer rose border. Pretty soon I found my self being drawn to these colors and started purchasing plant material to add to the picture. Above I just planted this new day lily called Persian Market
Bright pink zinnia's and a new climbing rose called Soaring Spirits named in honor of 9-11
Here is my attempt so far at this color scheme.
We are leaving tomorrow for vacation...not sure when if I will get to post...We are heading to Portland for the weekend to help with the grands while mom and dad attend a wedding. Then off to our beloved Cannon Beach with just the hubby for a few days. We will have to make a side trip to St. Paul on our way home. Hehehe I have roses waiting for me at Heirloom Roses :) I will fill you in on the goodies when I get back.

Sounds like you have some fun days coming up. A weekend with the grands and time in Cannon Beach...sounds great to me! I love Heirloom Roses. I hope you share some of them with us. Your blog looks beautiful!
Hope you have a great time and will look forward to pics on yur return. The flower colour scheme is lovely. 100 degrees is a bit much to say the least. We have had just mid 60's for a week now. And lots of rain.
Enjoy your time away! How could you not with time being spent with those beautiful grandgirlies?! It's always good to get away alone, too. I have a feeling that you'll be ready for the rest.
