Welcome to the Gotlibsons' flower gardens featuring roses. Their garden endeavor is equally divided. Joan does the planning and Roger does the heavy work. That's the way it should be and has been since Adam and Eve. Now the tour.

Note: If you would like to have the thumbnail sketch of the photograph enlarged, click on it. Then when you want to go back to the garden, click on "Back".

	On the North side of the yard is their main rose garden. In the background is a 40 ' iris bed on top of the leach field. Roger made both the arbor and the obelisk showing in the background.
	They call this the "Wall Bed" because of a stone wall and steps leading to the bed.
	Here is an Altisssimo Climber (red) with a white clematis.
	Shows the entire Altissimo on the arbor.
	The obelisk with a climbing Rainbow's End mini rose and a Blue Light clematis for future show.
	Climbing Fourth of July on the left side of the Arbor
	Our main rose garden with companion plantings at its best.
	We wish our Rhoderdron blooms would last as long as our roses.
	On our South Side Bed, Pierre de Ronsard, a pink blend showing almost white, with Dr. Huey in the background on the fence.
	The rest of our South Side Bed shows, from right to left, New Dawn, Jeanne Lajoie, an old unknown damask and centifolia and to the far left is Dr. Huey.
	Our two Apothecary Rose bushes in the foreground. In the background, beyond the stone wall is a mini rose, Red Cascade, Hansa, Pierre de Ronsard, Dr. Huey by the fence on the left and an unknown damask on the right.
	Some companion plantings; Pink Champagne (clematis), Siberian Iris and tall Bearded Iris on the left.
	Our Siberian Iris bed in the foreground. Hansa is in the background center.
	Here is our little pond with a built in waterfall and our Iris bed in the background.
	And here is where it all gets started. Our little green house. A potted Veteran's Honor waiting for a place to call home. To the rear of the green house on the right is a vine pole Roger has just made. Now that he is retired, he thought it would be a nice home for a Gillian Blades Clematis and a climbing rose, Kiss Of Desire.
