Knockout roses May 14, 2019.

We had two beautiful knock out roses and we lost them two years ago.  Don’t know why.  They had been thriving in the same location for 14 years.

There's a disease affecting them all around here. I had probably close to 10 scattered around the yard 10-15 years ago. Pulled out the last ones a couple years ago. They were great while they lasted, but I really didn't like pruning them.

I have no idea how long they can live. This rose spent 25 years next to the fence being trimmed by the moo cows. One day someone decided it needed to be moved to it's current location.

Funny-temperamental roses typically requiring a lot of care, then there’s that tough old one that  survives all that. Ought to get some cuttings off that and propagate it.

The first Indian blanket (that’s what my great grandma called it).  I think it’s Missouri primrose.  We’ll have it every where soon.

It's been a good year for roses, I have some almost 20 years old that are the most neglected things alive and every year they bloom.  Moms peony bush is still doing fine after almost 40 years.

Asiatic lilies are starting to bloom.

I don’t know their names.  I’m the hole digger.
