There was a break in the rain this afternoon and Smokey and I stopped by the Tulsa Rose Garden to see what was blooming. The roses are beginning to look nice and there will soon be more to come.
This beautiful pink climber is a Clair Matin and is framed by deep blue Clematis.
The Tulsa Municipal Rose Garden is beautiful from early May until late November. It is a great place to go at any time over the summer to see which rose varieties are holding up to our hot summer weather. Sue and I went there 3 summers ago in August and discovered the Knockout Shrub roses that are along our side fence. They were blooming when everything else looked hot and dry.

Nice!
I can just imagine the smell... must be great to walk around.
In Ottawa, we have tulips right now, for the Tulips Festival. No roses, I guess it's too cold.
Smokey was with me and he did a lot of sniffing around but he wasn't looking for roses. We had tulips in late March so you are quite a bit behind us.
Your pictures could be taken by me in July rather than early May. England and Canada must be even more closely entwined than by just sharing our Queen and now, news for me, the later opening of the roses etc.
Thank you for the info about the catbird and the bird dog - never too old to garner information:-)

Beautiful garden! Thanks for sharing!
