Bloom Day: Just Rosy

It is Garden Blogger's Bloom Day again! On the 15th of each month, we gardeners with blogs share a few bloom photos from our gardens.

Here in the Mid-Atlantic USA (USDA zone 7) on the DC-MD border, spring has been a long, cool one so far -- very English-like -- so I thought to was appropriate to share my favorite English Rose in my garden, it is the David Austin 'Olivia'.  It is a shrub rose and the flowers are medium-sized. It currently has more blooms than it ever has before in my garden. I cut a small bouquet for my mom and have a few small bouquets all around my house for myself. I love looking at it, but more than that I love the fragrance -- a classic light rose-fruity scent.

In the garden also today, I have blooming: Weigela (several kinds), Peonies, Clematis, Bearded Iris, Columbine, and much more!

Be sure to follow @WDCgardener on Instagram for daily pics of what is blooming in our garden and area gardens that we visit.

So what is blooming today in YOUR garden?
