Very hot today. Early morning trip to the gardden was the last for today. Rain to the West, North and East, but none here.

Some of these are from earlier this year.

Love Sin. Sunrise! So, you keep the seedlings you don't care for?

I think that seedling could grow up to be spectacular! (Unless it's a 3-year-old seedling, and then we could be in trouble.) I LOVE the self color, the lime green throat and the quilling. DON'T GET RID OF IT!!!

Your oldies are also lovely, especially the first one.

So happy to hear you were able to plant a rose bush without pain and without pills. Just don't overdo. Went to the wholesale shrub nursery - 6 gardenias; 1 Star magnolia, 1 flowering quince (funny the things I miss), 1 Miss Kim lilac, 1 Longwood Blue caryopteris. I planted 12 gardenias - well actually I dug up six and moved them and added 6. I had planted 12 small ones across the front of the house last year - 3 each under each of the soon (I hope) to be erected arches for the climbing roses. Its not winter that kills gardenias it is big guys with big feet and a bag of 10-10-10. The ones left had increased in size enough that they are pretty safe from big feet, so I bought larger bushes and am trying again. Other than that I pruned a bit and dug up onions (we have such a crop this year) and watched the bluebird Mr. and Mrs. fly in and out of their house (our first bluebirds). Went to see 300 and then caught the special on the History channel. Nice weekend if a bit cold and windy here. With daylight savings time I can get in an hour after work most days.

Maryl, I wasn't sure about MBL when i was considering her but I'm appy I did. When she blooms in a clump, she is impressive..that was her first bloom of the season. I'm glad you like the red seedling.. Kay, the ones I ate to miss are the seedlings. Most of the regs. will bloom a good bit.. ngraham, CF has been around for quite awhile. I like it too. Cindy, she's a great little seedling. Not tall but has a nice sized bloom. In the middle of the day she is almost white.. Julia, CB has been around for many years. I'm surprised you haven't heard or seen it before. A good doer for me.. Thank you Jean. I am axious to see the next bloom on the red seedling!! Linda, just wait until they really get started. Right now, they are still scarcely blooming!! Thank you all...Ellie

At least I get to see Silk Road and South Seas the way I want them to be here in our garden, but this year has been terrible for them. I didn't get to see Silk Road bloom since I was gone, but the stalks weren't very tall and they didn't fill out the way they usually do. Didn't see South Seas bloom, (gone) because it doesn't like heat, evidently produced very little in the way of bloom. Thank goodness for your pictures, and South Seas and Sweet Isabela are my favorites here. Your yellow lilies look good, too. Avedon

Thanks Brandy and Judith. Raspberry Ripple was one of my very first set of roses to plant when I moved 7 years ago to this new home. It is very floriferious, never without blooms, disease free and winter hardy. Why I love this rose so much is that I don't make a lot of fuss with it and continues to come back year after year. Bridal Pink and Pretty Lady along with some others are all new for me this year. I am into ordering roses thats not too popular or overly mentioned. Thanks to Beth, she inspired me. Niecey

Tom, I know what you mean about sweltering...it's 99 and feels like a sauna outside here too. No rain for over a week now and with these temps, things dry out very fast don't they?
I like your Golden Oldies...hey some of us get better with age...dl's can too, can't they? :)
I'm with Chris...don't throw that baby out with the bathwater just yet...she may surprise you next year!! LOL

Tom, I got your rain in buckets this morning, ruining a perfectly lovely seedling bloom...before I could take its picture. We are supposed to get rain all week. I hope it stops by Saturday. That is the bus tour up here.

Too hot to be outside for anything. I did make myself go outside late morning and pick the raspberries. Tom, I'm glad you went outside long enough for us to get a "fix" today. I agree with everyone else, your seedling has possibilities - vivid color and form could improve. Is this a FFO?

Oh, but they are all so lovely as usual. Well, maybe not the last one, I am not one to know if that means it will always look like that or not. Your Golden Oldies picks of the day are always fabulous too. Its hot here too but yesterday was hotter.

Oh, I feel you pain... 99 degrees here and rising. Ick. This morning was not too bad, but I HATE that it does not cool off over night. Hope you get some of that liquid gold... I have been doing the Nekkid Turtle Dance here... got some clouds, but no rain. :o(

Nice pis,Tom. The seedling is an odd duck,but beautiful color,quilling, and such a vivid throat. I don't think it is ugly at all! I have seen some registered cultivars that look worse to me!

I love that Paprika Velvet. Is that a good increaser?
Really catches your eye immediately.
Wish we could send you some rain as we have had rain for the last several days (with several thunderstorms) and suppose to continue right up to Friday. Veggie garden looks like a jungle.

Yeppers it's hot that you know what down here in Texas but that's the norm for us but I love the winter's here LOL. No rain for sometime and none in the near future.

The heat chases me inside now that I'm matured and getting into the golden years. I have high blood pressure for about 1 1/2 yr's and noticed that I cannot take being in the sun or heat like before. Some people don't notice it like my DH. His is worse than mine. Then one day I was listening to the News and they said people with high blood pressure should stay out of the sun.
Only thing that saved my DH was going in for a sleep test. They could not get his blood pressure down all night. So when we went back to the doctor for the test results I told her about his blood pressure, So she checked it and it was high, then she went back to look at his chart and every time he went in for his check up it was high. This was upsetting for me cause you'd think the doctor would pay close attention to your charts.
With that said only time I get out is early morning and late evening's.

My favorite of the above is Cinnamon Sunrise. Can you tell me the flower dimension and scape height? I have a DL here that was mislabeled years ago, and can't find its ID, but it sure looks like yours.

Now your seedling definitely has PERSONALITY! I'd keep it, for sure, to see what it does next year!

Julie-Cinnamon Sunrise in 6 to 6 1/2" bloom and stands a little over 2 feet tall.

All - Unfortunately the seedling is an older one that I keep hoping with straighten up and fly right, but I'm afraid it's days are numbered. It will be able to make a contribution to future seedlings thru its fine compost.

O.K. thanks, Tom.
Mine's different then, at only a 4" bloom.

It will be able to make a contribution to future seedlings thru its fine compost.
Say that to its face, and maybe it will fly right next year!
