Yesterday's blooms..
Crap, it's raining again. Just a light drizzle, but enough I can't do much outside today. This is the weirdest spring I've ever seen here. Usually by now we're experiencing constant temps of above 80°, and more likely heading towards the triple digits by the end of the month. This yr it's been colder, wetter, more dreary, and I think I could count on one hand how many days have hit over 79°!! It's so freakin' weird I just don't get it. I like it in a way, but I don't like it too. The ups and downs are wreaking havoc with my bones and joints. But the roses are lovin' it, despite the longer disease outbreaks. Yeah, usually the B/S and mildew are gone my now. Not this yr! Oh well, what can ya do...

Yesterdays blooms.... (lots of pics)
Comments (22)Sharon, I bought those roses at a local nursery and they are supposed to be the Fairy Rose, but mine are climbers, and nothing I've read about the true Fairy Rose says anything about them being climbers. They are supposed to be compact shrub roses. :) But that's not a problem for me, I just let them run all over my fence. LOL I do have a couple of them in beds and I keep them pruned into shrubs but if you don't prune the long canes off, they'll just keep growing and growing, kind of like that energizer bunny, you know? :) Jan...See MoreYesterday's blooms today
Comments (7)Isn't Hello Heartstrings beautiful, I just love it, a different looking orange color, large flower & eye, and the first bloom looks just wonderful. Casey, that is Little Bumblebee, very small flower but the stems are well above the foliage, which I like. Heavy bloomer too! Thanks for all your nice words....See MoreRain yesterday...pretty blooms today (pics)
Comments (16)Debra: Isn't FB something? She looks like a double of Seal of Approval to me. :) Kathy: Yes, there is just no subsitute for a good old soaking rain, is there? It seems to just perk the poor old dried out plants right up in a matter of hours. Ellie: Thanks, and I'm glad you got some rain also. I think Pugsley is a cutie, but I know you're not overly fond of bi-tones. If you don't like her you can probably send her on down to you sister's along with CC you got from Marietta! :) Jean: Thanks Hon, glad you enjoyed seeing them. Jill: I love AW too. This is SW first bloom season in my garden and that's a photo of it's first bloom. I'm not seeing much of the pink edging yet...but...hopefully it'll shape up soon. Hey, you never did come for that visit, and my blooms are sporadic at best now. I've got lots of rebloom scapes, and also late bloomers coming on, but the main show is all but over for me. Peak season this year was really weak in my gardens. I lost so many buds to the drought. But hey, glad to have you come anytime. :) Jessica: I use PSP program I have on my pc, to put the copywrite watermark on my photos not Photobucket. Thanks for the compliments.
