The home sits on a slope, and there are numerous levels with decks, patios and sitting spots.
Potted plants were used in the deck and patio areas.
My front yard is a driveway with no area for planting, so I use potted plants. The backyard is a different story. I love my yard, but I'm really not much of a gardener. It seems like I am more of a" jungle" fighter, trying to keep the weeds and ivy at bay. You could say that I have a "survival of the fittest" garden. If it is hardy and can survive my plant-killing instincts, it can dwell in my garden. I am trying though, really. I have a few roses in the front in pots. I love hybrid tea roses because, unlike some hybrids, they have a beautiful fragrance and hybrids are hardier than non hybrids. They are supposed to smell like tea, but I don't quite smell the connection.
This is my Diana, Princess of Wales hybrid tea rose. I didn't realize it when I bought it, but 10% of profits from the sale of this rose go to humanitarian causes. I just bought it because it's pretty and smells so sweet.

Oh, what a fun time!!! I love going through other people's gardens getting ideas. And that Princess Diana rose is lovely. Thanks, I am looking for a new rose. Is this a climber?

I have to add that your survival of the fittest approach to gardening cracks me -- I have a similar approach. I plant lovely things in my garden and wish them a lot of luck. So far, most everything gets it -- the rest tell no tales.
