I've made up my mind not buy any more roses because I already have too many. However, I broke my resolution so easily and ended up buying another one. Moreover, it was a large seedling. I spotted my favorite colored rose was on sale and couldn't stop buying it.

When I received it, it was much larger than I expected, so I thought I made a grate purchase. At the same time, I felt a little guilty about buying another one.

It's a climbing rose named Ash Wednesday. It was bred in 1955 in Germany and blooms brownish-pink flowers only in the spring. I'm a huge fan of neutral colors in roses, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it bloom next spring.

I planted it in a climbing roses section in my garden. It'll eventually climb up a wall with my other climbing roses.

I also love clematises and have many different varieties. One of them bloomed this time, and it made me surprised.

One of the gerberas in my garden is also in full bloom.

Three of the violas in my mixed planter are in full bloom as well, and these flowers are adding vibrant splashes of color to my garden.
