Absolutely stunning roses, chico--especially that orange beauty!

I don't think I've ever seen a sage with that many flowers on it! That's somethin'!!!

The one to the right is Russian sage? Do you know what kind of sage is blooming in the pic? I've tried Russian sage and mine never did much...might've just been that it got too much shade, though.

A friend of mine has a huge Rusian Sage,I really love it and last year she gave me some,it bloomed all summer and I am expecting it to get really big this year,they also spread like crazy.
I think all it needs is water and a bit of sun..

The Orangie coloured rose looks like a Tropicana. Beautiful roses, clematis and sage Chico2.

Lovely vibrant, clear colours in those roses, Chico2, and I love the orange stamens in the yellow rose. Your sage and clematis are a knockout. Very envious here seeing my garden is bare(and cold). I went close to ordering a similar clematis the other day, then decided there were too many other plants in the catalogue that I wanted and knew were easy to grow, so maybe next year. I have orders coming from 3 companies and by the time they get here I'll have a major senior moment and will have totally forgotten what is in them. Makes it more exciting, having a bad memory. LOL.

All your roses are beautiful, Chico.

Course I'm kind of partial to the orangy and the yellow ones because those are two of my favourite colours.

I also have a sage but it is not blooming as beautifully as yours as yet. There are so many varieties. I don't know what kind mine is.
