| Knock Out Rose |
I know, I know... You were expecting to see images of burnt orange pumpkins, dried berries and plumes and some lovely garden mums. After all aren't those Autumn bloomers too?
Of course they are, but I'm talking about different bloomers today. The one's that bring you joy in the garden right up until the first frost. I know many rose purists don't appreciate the new varieties of roses, especially the Knock Out Rose. But I look at it this way. Knock Out Roses have earned a place in Dandelion House Gardens because of what they are not what they aren't. These beautiful landscape roses are hardy, disease resistant, and add long lasting color to your garden. Plus, they have a delicate rose scent to boot! I am a FAN!

| Lemon Queen |
I love the Lemon Queen sunflower. These beauties grow up to 8 feet tall starting in early September all the way until the first frost. Plant them next to ornamental grasses if you enjoy a natural effect in your garden. They make lovely loose fall arrangement's too!
Autumn Sedum Joy adds a beautiful pinky plumb richness and texture to the late summer garden
and looks right at home planted next to ornamental grasses in bloom.
It seems almost sinful that flowers this beautiful are still going strong so late in the season. That's the simple beauty of growing dahlias. They are the perfect late bloomers in any garden. Whether in a pot on your patio or deck, a raised bed or a field.
Nothing can compare to the beauty of the dahlia in your late summer garden.
Look, even the bee's are still storing up on pollen!
What are YOUR favorite autumn bloomers?

I love my knock out roses too! They are still so full of color. I love your garden of flowers so much. Everytime I look I get so many ideas and dreams about our open spaces. Beautiful shots for the beginning of the day!
Gorgeous !!
Some of my favs are still growing strong right now.
Yes ,the red sedum, my cosmos, my maiden grass plumes are golden and fluffy, the zinnea are still giving lots of color, and the morning glories ~ including the moonflowers are giving a great show !
All so pretty ! My Old fashioned Marigolds still are going strong as is my pink knockout rose bush , my geraniums , African daisies , Gerber's and some wave petunias and of course wild flowers are all around us lol ! Thanks for sharing ! Have a good week !
It all looks so pretty! Most everything here is dry and browning, it's nice to see beautiful color.
Oh my so pretty! You have such a way with those beauties!
I got a knock-out rose, same color as yours, this summer after a corgi friend posted hers. It did well, but as the cooler weather has started its taken off again, full of nice flowers and buds. Hope we can enjoy it a while more before the frost does the flowers in. I think I'll get another one next Spring.
The garden is so wonderful. There are so many beautiful and colorful flowers inside. So lovely. I really love your dahlias. I invite you to visit my blog. Thank you
