When It Comes to Flowers... I am Old-Fashioned

I want my gardens to remind me of my grandmothers' gardens, my Auntie Lila's flower beds around her yard, and my mom's flower bed close to the house that even survived smelter smoke.
That is why I plant foxgloves,
petunias,
big, yellow, puffy marigolds,
more petunias,

and roses. Always roses.
