My back has been killing me this week. I stayed home from work on Monday and spent the day in a stupor from muscle relaxers. I realized when I pulled the bottle from the medicine cabinet that my doctor had prescribed them to me exactly one year ago this week. It's pretty obvious that my garden and all the work that goes into it in April is the culprit!
Backache aside, the garden is doing well. The vegetable raised beds are planted and starting to grow. And my roses? Heavenly. The Eustacia Vye I planted last year has been absolutely covered in dozens of rosebuds, and the two newbies (Benjamin Britten and Desdemona) both have several flowers and they were bare root plants less than three months ago. I'm in love!
Just look at these beauties.

Your roses are beauties, each one either subtly or dramatically different. Gardening can be dangerous! I overdid weed pulling and am vowing to stop that.
Beautiful Roses, and beautiful photos too !
Love the roses. Hope your back improves soon.
Hopefully, your back is "back" to normal soon. If I don't regularly do my back exercises (about ten minutes three times a week in the morning), I move like someone twice my age (which means 116!).
Your roses are gorgeous, and the photo with the bee is brilliant!
So sorry about your back. But, oh, your roses. The fragrances must be exquisite.
