Red #Roses & Sonata in Blue Bearded #Irises Share Spotlight!

Due to cool and rainy Spring weather, our rosebush is much larger than usual. It is so large that it is crowding our Sonata in Blue Bearded Irises. The result is a stunning contrast of colors: red roses in the background and lavender Iris blooms in the foreground.

We also love the burgundy and green leaves of the rosebush, and the visual of dew drops on the leaves is mesmerizing …
