Hubby loves roses and fire and ice is one of his favorites!
There is also a Japanese Snowball bush. It is waning, so here is one of the last pretty blooms. I love this one already. It spreads beautiful, white blossoms all over! It looks really neat. It's huge, though, so we are not sure what to do about it. It hasn't been cared for, so we aren't sure if we can get it back under control and out of the power lines without killing it. (There are also lots of lilac bushes, but they are done blooming and aren't very photogenic at the moment!
Oh, and just so you aren't deceived into thinking we got a beautiful ready-to-go garden, I thought I'd share this picture! It is a huge garden plot in the back of the yard, with a water turn. The problem, as you can see is that it has been neglected for a while and needs a lot of love! My goal was to weed and plant some melons, but with how late it is and only 5 weeks until the baby comes, my new goal is to get it under control enough to maybe plant some new fruit trees (do you like my dead ones there in the right of the pic?) and have less to do next spring.
One more thing. Here is an almost casualty of moving. I put my houseplants in the window sills and a few of them have been knocked down. I thought that this one was kind of funny hanging on for dear life!

Your roses are so pretty and your garden space has so much potential (wow, you could almost have an orchard).
We love our dwarf apricot and peach trees.
We bought our house when the yard was covered in snow so we had no idea what we were in for. So delighted when Spring arrived and we found ourselves hip deep in roses and lilacs. Such a blessing!
Lovely flowers. And be careful not to overdo it in that wilderness of a "garden". I can't wait to see what fruit trees you get. I've always wanted fruit trees.
wow, what a huge yard! That will be fun to work on next spring.
The yard is actually only .17 of an acre, but it feels big after never having a yard of our own! I think it's big enough to do a lot of the things we've wanted. Maybe not a greenhouse, but maybe a small one!
