July 1st blooms
It's still pretty hot outside. I just can't make myself go out and do much but turn on sprinklers and take pictures. I need to work on the new beds, but it's too hot. I already lost two roses transplanting them in high temps. Oh well, it'll have to wait til it cools down again...
A NIGHT OF MAGIC - one of Dave Bang's roses...
ANN HENDERSON - she blows fast in this heat, but at least she didn't fry!
AYDAN RENEE - an interesting mini..
BARONNE EDMOND DE ROTHSCHILD
BREDON - patiently waiting to get put in the final DA bed...
CHARLES DE GAULLE
CHOCOLATE SUNDAE CL - it's actually a tad bit more brown than it shows here...
CLAUDE MONET - happy in his new bed
ELSIE MELTON aka PICTURE PERFECT
FIRED UP - so glad I finally got this rose!

Comments (13)Happy Canada Day to our Canadian neighbors and happy Independence Day to everyone here in the United States. I have nothing in particular planned, Elery and I have been working hard renovating the kitchen. I just painted countertops and they can't be used for a couple of days. Ashley is in the hospital, the docs think it's her gallbladder. No, kidney stones. No, wait.....oh, they don't know. Ugh. Makayla is signed up for ballet camp and I've been driving her back and forth to Grand Rapids. Fireworks used to be fun until they started popping them off at every amusement park, ball game, car dealership opening, whatever. Now I don't care if I ever see them again, but Amanda is working on the 4th of July and I might end up with Bud and Makayla somewhere. Have fun, everyone!

Comments (19)Thanks everyone, I've been working really hard on the garden this year and it's nice to see the roses so happy. The rain has been an issue and the blackspot is creeping in. I hppe I can keep it under control. Carol and Sharlene you are totally right, I have Rock & Roll not Rock n Roll. So confusing to me, all of these & or 'n' roses lol. My St. Patrick came from a local nursery and when I saw it he was covered in huge green buds. I had to take him home and he has become one of my favorite impulse buy roses. I do get to the ground die back in winter but so far he keeps coming back. Sara-Ann yeah I don't see pink freedom very often but I also enjoy the blooms very much. Believe it or not that was a scrawny body bag rose from 2012! Most of my roses have bloomed atleast once this year but I am still waiting on probably 10 or so new ones planted this year for their first blooms. I'd say 75% have been in the ground since 2012 or 2013. Thanks for the feedback and conpliments! I love to share my roses with you all and hear your input!
