Madame Hardy Rose

 Madame Hardy is in full bloom at Dorothy's this week and hopefully will last at least another week.  What a wonderful rose!   It's hard to find for sale, but worth looking for.  The scent is lemony and sweet.   Here's more information from the experts at the Royal Horticultural Society.  

Roses!

Every June at Dorothy's is special, but this one is particularly so!   The rose bushes are so full, so lovely - it's really worth a trip.

Hooray for roses!

The roses are still going!  We have some gorgeous Maiden Blush roses still blooming.  The Madame Hardy's are about gone, but the plants themselves look terrific still.

Check out the blog Hedgegrow Rose for some wonderful rose pictures and lovely varieties!

Roses and more roses!

It's been a rainy June, but the roses are still gorgeous!

More springtime...

The pear trees are even in bloom this year!

The tarp even matches!

We are so excited for the unveiling of the sundial in all its repaired glory!  Hooray for Matt, our Eagle Scout volunteer!   In the meantime, the tarp matches the grape hyacinths just perfectly.

Eagle Scout Project

Matt Roach has completed his Eagle Scout project with a fine job with the sundial.  The sundial has been at the Quincy Homestead as a memorial since 1913.
