Beginner Gardening: Having trouble making my new garden "cohesive", 1 by ked1985

@Wifeygirl: there is a small bed and "strip" of lawn down to the sidewalk. I have a VERY leggy knock out rose planted over there as my neighbor's tree shades the area in the summer. I'm actually turning that side into a flower bed. I've had some people tell me it might be too overwhelming for the small yard, but I really hate mowing over there and would rather have a low evergreen hedge (azaleas)! Call me crazy plant lady.

I also included a picture of the front again... I moved one of the creeping phlox over and put my May Night salvia (that was in front of the rose) in the back since it's a little taller. I think once stuff starts to grow and fill in, it will look nice. I love the cottage garden look but taking another look at what I've done, I think I tend to lean more to the symmetrical side, lol.

I actually do agree with @Diana on the scalloping... I hate it. I plan on just doing a simple low brick edging when the weather cools down a bit.

Edit: Hm, I do not see the pictures showing up for some reason. Here is a link in case: http://imgur.com/a/op0lt
