Well you have many lovely flowers today. Yea I noticed about Hot Lava twice. Barney really is a huge bloom. Pretty Lily is very colorful. Enduring Freedom is also rich color. Choral Fantasy looks dressed for the prom. Very pretty. I thought your blooms were about gone but you still have lovely ones.

Thanks, Debra. I was very pleased to see it bloom so nicely as a brand new one. We had the unrelenting rain earlier, and I didn't think i would ever get any weeding done. I still have a few spots to do, but I'm working on the baby's room right now. thanks Sarah, I have such a nice selection because I have no discipline in buying them...actually, Mantis, I think Intelligent Design is more Purple because it has been a lot cooler than usual with the frequent rains...It will lighten up, never fear...the heat is coming...it always does. Thanks, Jean and Ruth. I had a lot more new ones blooming today and will post later in the week again. kay

A few blooms, a few mystery roses...

I need some help in identifying a couple mystery roses I have growing in my yard. This first bush is a pic farther away, it's about 5'. It's a monster lol! Does anyone recognize what variety it is or perhaps know its name? I'm new to the site and to growing roses. I have heard of something called basal breaks and was wondering if this is what's happening in the photo? This is a pic of the blooms closer. The blooms have a bright pink/coral color. Anyone recognize this one below as well? I lost the tags, as I had purchased and planted these before I was into gardening, so I don't know what kinds of roses these are or their names. I know it's a long shot but I had to try anyway. Thanks for any and all help! The color of this rose is bright neon red. Bonus: Roses are just beginning to bloom here in 8b Oregon, Joseph's Coat climbing rose and Green Romatica... The climbing roses only get 4 hours of sun and it suffers from black spot and rust if I'm not careful. :( Thanks to those who can help answer some of my noob questions! Still Waters.

I like Fancy Buttons too with the white midrib. It must be nice to have some shade midday. Some people grow their plants out in the fields like rows of corn. Good growth, but not a pleasant atmosphere on a hot sunny day. I am happy to have a garden where many plants get some shade. Much more enjoyable looking at them on a hot day (when one can retreat into the shade a few steps away). On the other hand, we all know how tree shade can increase and limit our areas.

Laura Harwood is the only daylily I have that canoes. Last evening was the first cool evening in a week. We were in the mid 90’s during the day and 80 at night, humid as heck. I think we borrowed Kate and Kay’s weather. I love the Millenium variety, supposedly it is sterile and I have had no problem with unwanted seedlings. Some varieties of allium seed everywhere, a real pain to control. Another bonus for me is the rabbits have left it alone. Sherry

The HOT LAVA impersonator gets my vote today. I picked it as my favorite even befoe I read your explanation, so I really can't wait until mine arrives from Maryott's.

Jean, they are all pretty as usual and Barney the best of all. Hot Lava and Choral Fantasy are both true beauties. I like your lilies too.

Oh, Barney is very pretty! I love the next two too, Hot Lava and Choral Fantasy. Love your Enduring Freedom too, mine is splotchy and I can never capture its true color it seems.
