Lots of blooms... still!!

15 years ago

I can't believe how many roses are still pumping out the blooms. I always have stragglers, and a few that bloom up to Xmas. But I don't usually have this many decent blooms this late into November. I still need to deadhead and clean up. Just do not have time.

I know this is a lot of pics... so see the link below for those of you still on dial-up!

Beth those are all very nice. Thanks for sharing them. I'm impressed. I noticed today while I was out doing some cleanup that a lot of my roses have new growth on them. Really no new blooms but a couple are still trying:) This year fall has been much milder hasn't it?

I loved Kuroshinju and Limelight. I almost picked up Limelight at a nursery in Sparks this fall for more than 50% off. That was hard to resist but I just had no place to put it. You grow it very well. How's the re bloom on those two?

All beautiful as usual.

Thanks Ricky, now I can label the bromeliad. I have been Laura, along with the rest of you, I know. I hate to see most everything go dormant now with the weather. :( June and Anna, the Calathea is called Zebrina. It is the hardiest of all of mine. Yes, they come back but it seems like it takes them forever to grow (except Zebrina, who rarely even goes dormant). I always keep one of each growing in a makeshift greenhouse over winter. Coffeemom, yes it is a Colocasia Coffee cups. I have a little stand of them there and they are running in all directions, so one showed up right at the front of the border. Thanks Ms TLC and Katkin. I agree, Katkin. I love Calatheas and any interesting foliage plants. Here's a few more pics This shows the Coffee Cups better and the bed that I'm still working on. I've put in some EE's and a flowering anthurium. A work in progress.... Bubble Bath rose A little niche....I love this purple flowering ground cover. Anyone know what it is called? My mother-in-law has had it for years and never knew the name. A close up of the ground cover's flowers... My African Shrimp plant that is doing so much better this year. Thanks Tina

Hi Jen, i was thinking of you today looking at my Makaha Sunn. Now I understand how much you love this beauty.. OMG. I'm thrilled at its coloration as well as its strong fragrance. Blaze is doing well and I keep thinking I will see an inflo appear, but I'm just being patient and hopeful... It has three or four tips. I will post a picture of it for you tomorrow. It's a beauty and it looks ready to push.. It has the look of maturity!! ;-) My AB is looking good too., how is yours doing? I took a picture of that a few days ago to post for James. I keep thinking it may do something this year. I know, wishful thinking.. Sigh.. i hope you are enjoying your beautiful weather.. We are having a nice summer, but I can feel the change at night . I'm starting to see some yellowing on the bottom leaves, they sure know when the amount of light declines and the cool nights start to make them think of sleeping. What a sad time.. I still have a few more months, but it will slow down after September. October will be the last month and then at the end of he month, it will be time to prepare.. Don't even want to think about it. :-( Have a great evening ! Laura

Thank you all. Debra, I have another clump of Little Light Of Mine that will move out after this season if the deer get yours. After that very first bloom, Fighting Fire has been perfect. It put up three re-bloom spikes too, so I ma very happy with it. Thanks, Kate. I have wanted Mean Green forever, and it seems to stay sold out, so I bought Rosy when I had the chance and I am happy with her. Thanks you sherry. The bloom is massive and the color is really something to see on Neon Flamingo. kay

Of course, I like BOLD SYMPHONY, since I grow about 40 of Mr. Bennett's intros. I live the white midrib. BS clumps up rather quickly and when there are multiple blooms open, it is fantastic. Can't wait for mine to start blooming in about 4 weeks. The early and early mids are putting up scapes everywhere. I think I am about 2 weeks behind. I usually have about half a dozen blooming by the Fourth of July, and I don't think that will be the case this year. I will probably only have HAPPY RETURNS, STELLA D'ORO and STELLA IN YELLOW blooming. David

All beautiful roses Beth! I like the color of the Hacienda bud, what a wonderful deep shade that comes across my monitor. I love the reverse of Kleopatra and the shade of last rose Traviata. Excellent pics Beth.

Wow. Some nice roses!

Fulton MacKay ~ how's the repeat does he blow quickly?

Summer's Kiss ~ HMF says yellow blend but photos show a gorgeous pastel pink. Does he change color with weather conditions? Quick repeat?

Thanks for introducing me to 'new' roses!
