This week's rose of the week is Peach Drift. Or at least, I think that it's kind. Conard Pyle (maker of Knockouts) has a drift series. This shrub is low growing and profuse. They are excellent for borders and to "fill in" rose gardens. Though not a cutting rose (in my opinion) they are beautiful and hardy like the knockouts. Even though the roses are small..they aren't delicate.
Deadheading is a little harder because they are small. It may be self cleaning but I have discovered to just use shears to clip them. I don't notice pest on them as I do others. This is recent planting but the bush is beautiful.

Found an ID on your yellow weed:
danglepod (Sesbania herbacea)
'Gardens in the Sand' had it on his blog.
Poisonous to cattle and prohibited in Arkansas because it competes in cotton fields, neither of which I guess you have to worry about.
Are you okay? You don't usually miss Wordless Wednesday.
Roses should be resting right now, getting ready for the big fall show.
