“After an extensive renovation of our 1885 Victorian into a modern jewel box, we enlisted Flowerchild Gardens for our landscape design. Not only did she execute technical elements of the process – hardscaping, irrigation zones, a planting plan – she creatively merged existing plants, trees, and fences to our now blooming garden of California natives, roses and shrubs. We cannot express our gratitude for her professionalism, creativity, and knowledge of landscape design.”

Is it weird to be into red roses? This combination feels subtly fresh and contemporary. What do you think? 🌹⁠ ⁠ Not a David Austin but really tough for hot and exposed areas and also light shade – Rosa 'Flower Carpet Red' + Festuca 'Elijah's B
