Tangerine........ Roses!
If you are a gardener, right about now, you are probably getting inundated with mail order plant catalogs. I am, and I love it. I get great ideas from those images and when it is winter, I am also reminded that spring will be here soon. I could use a few new rose....ground-cover, bushes, or topiary...I don't care. Well, this got me to thinking, will Tangerine Tango (you know what that is) work its' way into our gardens?
Here are some lovely tangerine roses

For a very long time, I have had a garden "policy" of "no reds, no yellows". I prefer the cool shades...purples, blues and whites. My ultimate dream is to have an all white garden, but I already know that I don't have that discipline for that. Over the last few years, I have broken down and let yellow into my garden. I am still holding strong on "no red". It is just too commanding for me.......but what about tangerine? Will you try tangerine in your home or garden?
Fall Gardening Projects
Fall is the perfect time to plant and transplant. Since I did not get enough gardening time in this season, I want to make sure I maximize Fall. Some of the things I would like to get accomplished...
Transform this....
into this
A Potager garden!
In the Fall, I also like to plant or transplant roses. Many people write that roses don't like to be transplanted...well, it can be tricky. Here's how I look at it; If I can't live with the current location of a plant, try transplanting. Either way, that plant will no longer be in the wrong location....and hopefully, success will be achieved.
This is my rose selection
White carpet roses.
The other plant on my Fall planting list is this
2 white hydrangea trees.

Oprah's Home
In case you missed it yesterday, Nate Berkus took a tour of Oprah's Tea House and garden. I know not many of us have the ability to construct this, but we can borrow a lot of ideas!
I don't know about you, but I'm motivated to create more beauty in the details.
