Blooms this morning before the rain...
8 years ago
Dang... our internet service was out for about 30hrs. I guess AT&T had some issues all over the place. It's sad how much we rely on the web. A lot of businesses couldn't use their credit card machines during the outtage. I'm just glad they finally got whatever was wrong fixed!!
Anyway... Before I went over to take care of my mom today, I ran out and took pictures of the roses before it started raining. Weird weather. So cold again too. Spring definitely isn't coming early around here. Well, the roses say so, but the weather says no. And OMG... the B/S is epidemic! As well as the powdery mildew..... and the bugs!!! ick

Thursday Blooms and More Painting before the Rain
Comments (11)I am not posting any pictures today because I don't feel like getting wet. The rain is here. Radiation Biohazard is an average looking bloom with above average performance. It was my longest bloomer last year at 6 weeks and it has been going for 4 weeks so far this year. I appreciate it most at the end of the season when everything slows down. How Lovely You Are is similar to Elusive Happiness. It is supposed to have better branching and bud count. Once both are large clumps I may decide to only keep the best one in my garden. Rita, if you need another yellow Elegance of Summer is a beast of a plant and I strongly recommend it. North Wind Dancer looks great every bloom and it is easy to take excellent pictures of it. The branching and bud count are superior. In my garden it requires a peony ring to keep from flopping but I think it is well worth the effort....See MoreTuesday morning blooms before the triple digits hit!
Comments (9)PEPPERMINT TWIST - seems to not mind the heat too much... PINK PANTHER - actually getting shaded by a massive SHOWTIME bush and a walnut tree the squirrels planted that I need to get my husband to yank outta there!! SEDONA - oh those beautiful sunset colors! J&P TEST ROSE - from a few yrs back. I'm wondering if it could be their rose called "HEROES?" THREE WEDDINGS CL - new one this yr WELWYN GARDEN GLORY - nice big own root just got from Heirloom to replace my old one that seems to have disappeared......See MoreA few blooms this morning before the heat fries them
Comments (10)Everything looks great. Give Pink Pet (Caldwell Pink) a couple of years to fill in. It is one of my all time favorites. Tons of those pink pom pom blooms. Beautiful early winter foliage. This is one of the easiest roses to root. I stuck a cutting in a starter pot UPSIDE DOWN, and the crazy thing rooted. I root at least a dozen every year and give them away the next spring. Try doing this; draw a circle about 12' around and plant 3 of your cuttings in that circle. You can't imagine how great it will look in 3 years....See MoreThis morning's blooms that survived the rains
Comments (8)Black magic is sultry! Malibu looks like it's glowing from within. Henri Matisse is beautiful and I go back and forth on ordering it... the petals have almost a liquid look. Champagne cocktail is just fun! Thanks for always sharing such wonderful photos. No rain here this week. Glad you got a little....See More
