Really frustrating times with the thrips. I've never really had that much problems in previous years but this year it has exploded. A sight like this cluster on "Gruaud la Rose" has been very common in the last few weeks:

Some other roses, like Großherzogin Luise, still open their flowers but damage is clearly visible:

Still, some do look OK:

Big Apple

Blanche de Castille (aka Pure Perfume)

Domaine de Chantilly

Ina an Mona

Julie Andrieu (just about the only flower with no thrip damage)

Laurent Voulzy

Martine Guillot

Mascaret

Jim, please send rain ASAP

Svetlana, what beautiful pictures to wake up to. What is the rose in your fourth picture down. You may not have a ton of roses yet but you are slowly building a lovely assortment. It does make you appreciate them all the more.

Still super smokey here oh my gosh I can't even see the hills around me. Ash is falling

It doesn't affect the roses if anything it makes them better because they're not getting glaring Sun but it's sure ugly out.

I also cannot see the strawberry & sage pictures. I can see a few of greta's photos though. Which look great! I love the peony! And I saw your lily photo, Cori Ann. I only have 1 lily in my garden. I like them, but they have issues here. Firstly, rabbits or squirrels sometimes get at them. Secondly, we have lily beetles here & I know quite a few people who just gave up on them because of the hassle. There are so many lovely kinds of them too! Maybe I'll try some new ones in my perennial bed. Well I did get over to my other garden centre & sure enough I ended up with another 2 roses. I ended up getting 1 Darcey Brussel & 1 Tess of the D'uberville. We'll see how they do here. So while I was there I also picked up some other stuff and I'm going to be doing a new garden bed in my front yard. I'm calling it the red bed! We have a 3 clump white birch in the front yard, it's kind of just in the middle. So I wanted to do something with it. It's a pain to mow around because the grass is almost right to the trunk. Anyways, my husband suggested making a new bed, but he wanted a few small grasses in it. So I'm doing reds, white, silvery blue. But it's predominately red. I'll post a picture when it's done. It's not a huge bed but it is sort of kidney/heart shaped. On the back side I'm doing some clumps of japanese blood grass with red flowered helenium and really compact blue fescues. Then on the large circles of the kidney; I'm planting munstead wood on one side & darcey brussel on the other. Then towards the middle at the front curve a couple red dianthus, and some artemisia, for some silvery white. Will probably add in some red and white annuals for fillers this year. Well now I have to start digging up the grass, not looking forward to that part at all. I have no problem getting it up, it's getting rid of it that's a pain. Fortunately, our soil is quite loose, so when I get chunks of sod up I let them dry out a bit in the sun than bang as much of the dirt off as I can. Then I can throw it in our compost/brown bags for pickup. But if they are too heavy they won't take them. It's not hard to do, but it's time consuming. If it was a bed in the backyard, I would probably make it using the cardboard and mulch method for killing off the grass. But the front yard needs to be done quickly!

Hi all -- Diane -- Hope you are being dramatic with language, "If I survive..." Prayers to you that you get well soon. I grow French Lace, and I can say with certainty that this rose seedling is not French Lace, thought it could be a parent - who knows? It's not a seedling I directed. Kristine -- you are making me want peaches peaches peaches. For our faculty retreat, we had an "iron chef" competition. Four professors as head master chefs, and all the faculty divided into four teams. Then each team under the iron chef made 3 dishes, plus beverages. We all ate amazing food. Afterwards, everyone was so exhausted, no one stayed for the film. I am going to bed now. Good time, but hard work. I mention this because one of the iron chef desserts included peach slices, some kind of chocolate ganache in the middle of the plate, and then somethign else on the side. When I got my little plate I had no fork, so just dipped a peach in the chocolate and was VERY HAPPY. No more from me for a while -- very busy week. Worried about my Dad. He may be having "issues" now. Wish he lived closer. Hope all of you are doing well and your gardens are thriving. :-)

I wonder if I'll ever get to my afternoon chores. It's 98F, so I won't be outside until much later. It was bad enough yesterday at 97F--let h#ll on earth begin. I can tell you we have air conditioning, and it's running (itself to death-ha). I remember my days as a young married. We had no AC in our little house, and I sweat all night long with a big fan blowing on us and all windows open. I would lie in a lawn lounger in the evenings, reading, until it got pitch dark, and then reluctantly go inside to the house/furnace. But enough of past travails.... Lisa, thank you so much for confirming that I also grow Chinese forget me not. I went through all my seed packets from last and this year, and found nothing that could explain the campanula, but my Chinese forget me not seed came from Select Seeds. I like that seller a lot. I've heard of those water forget me nots, but since we're so dry, I didn't try them. I agree the Chinese type are more colorful. Jim, I spotted that little helper of yours. You certainly capture some wonderful photos of insects and birds. I simply can't do it. Dilly, you've got a smiling brunnera leaf. I think it's the cutest one. After the adorable and happy little boy, I like the useful kitty. She looks just like our old codger, Clancy, only your kitty is prettier. Same markings and colors almost exactly. I am so impressed with your roses, Cobra lily, and especially that hardy geranium, Havana Blues. I have too many Rozannes, and she is sprawly in my garden, though I love all her blooming. I love hibiscus Luna Red, which I also grow. You are a little ahead of us, so mine are not blooming quite yet. I hope the weather moderates before they pop open. Our dry heat just destroys hibiscus blooms. Your Julia Child looks great, and I hope she is a bloom machine for you. Ingrid, many thanks--especially because I so admire your skill as a photographer. I'm sorry about your heat, which is bad here, too. It's that suffering time of year for plants and humans alike. A little rain might be nice, but it's not going to happen here. Take care from all of us, your gardening friends. Diane

Stop this thread--I want to get on! And the darn thing moves so fast I am dizzy. Rpnw, I just love your Emma Hamilton, which I looked up. She seems liked by many, and the photos on HMF were really lovely. How does your Emma stack up compared to Boscobel and Julia C (I grow both those and love them). I'm really considering getting Emma if I say bye bye to more annoying roses still in my garden. All your photos are great, but Emma really caught my eye. Katherine, your mystery Austin is quite luscious. I'm voting for Jubilee Celebration. I don't think she's PAoK. That luna moth photo you took is a stunner. How did you do it? I can barely photograph a honeybee. We have people on this thread who routinely photograph hummingbirds, which I can never catch, either. Trish, I hope your cold has bit the dust at last. I've had awful allergy problems this summer--the worst ever. Could your cold be allergies? I'm an itch and sneeze machine. Just sick of it.....Phyton is a copper based fungicide and bacteriocide, so I hope your technique works. Did the instructions recommend this? Might as well try everything. I don't think Phyton had any effect on insects in your garden because it's not an insecticide. Good luck--I truly hope you find some solution to the disease problem your roses have been plagued with. I'm glad Rosie is doing so well. How was your visit with your friend? I hope you didn't exhaust yourself with awful housework. Do like I do and eat a hot fudge sundae for dinner (I did that tonight). Lisa, it was so good to see Millie's photos with her looking like her old self. Hope you got a good nap. Princess Charlene is a beauty, and I'd be perfectly happy with your so called "plain" bouquet. Blondie, I love Big Purple in the center of all those luscious Limelight hydrangeas. I used to grow Big Purple and called my two Big Magenta, but yours has a lovely purple color. Falstaff is gorgeous, another rose I would love to grow. And those dahlias! Love them, and the incredible variety of plants you grow. Hope you had a great time at the in laws. What a fun packed summer. I'll continue this book length post tomorrow. Bear with me and sleep tight. Diane

How large are your average FIJI Blooms Kristine??? Thanks!

Our Fiji blooms are small...lol....I let potted Fiji out in rain this time so I can see how the blooms handle alot of rain... Doesn't look good they get crusty looking fairly quick...

Jim - definitely some lab in Sparky. :) How lucky for both of you that you found her. :) Man, you really are getting a lot of rain!

zzzone - that's a cute dog! I've never heard of a bee hunting dog. :) Hopefully she won't get stung!

Svetlana - I love your roses...they are saturated with color and look so healthy! Beautiful!!! I especially love your 3rd and last pictures!

Kristine - trying to make lemonade out of a problem...at least the roses will love the ash. But, seriously, when is this going to end for your area! Sheesh. Those are lovely roses!!! I especially love the first 2 pictures - espepcially Fiji!

We're having nice we ather - it's 17C/63F with temps going up to 21C/70F. I think 21C is the perfect weather.

Yes pretty icky out . I don't notice too many people out and about walking their dogs or working in their yards . I guess I'm probably not supposed to be out doing manual labor in the ash either.

Gym I think the blooms on my Fiji are about to win 2 3/4 to 3" wide they're getting pretty good size this year.

Jim, I'm also terribly sorry, that after you've grown such beautiful roses this year, you're experiencing this awful storm. The amount of rain is beyond my dried out brain's comprehension. It's about a year's supply of rain for us here in the hot, baked desert. So ironic that those who need rain can't get it, and those with excess rain can't give it away. Your roses will come back fine--it's hard to overwater a rose. Did a couple of them get washed away by the Red Sea? So how are you doing now--guess you're in bed. I don't think I could sleep. By the way, up the thread, your photo of Julia Child is just luscious. I know your can see what a world class bloomer she is now. Did you use a telephoto lens for that moon pic? Thanks for trying to "send" us some rain!

Kristine, what lovely photos. I like those colors, and the lily is especially pretty. Are they blooming now? I only grow a couple of basic nothing yellow Asiatic lilies and they bloom early and for a short time. So do your lilies have different bloom times to lengthen the season? I love your Olivia Rose photo. Mine keeps trying to bloom, and just as a flush gets started, the deer come along. Her blooms aren't very big in the heat, and don't look nearly as good as your ORA's blooms. How is your weather now--hot and dry? Still smoky? At least we don't have that for now, oddly enough. We're up to about the 20th day of 90s-100s+ temps, and more on the way. Plus deer, plus too much tree shade in the front yard area, so things are pathetic right now with a few bright spots of bloom. I haven't been taking pics because it's all I can do to complete basic chores.

Carol, your temps would be so perfect right now. And no drenching downpours, I'll bet. So let's all move to Canada and enjoy Carol's back yard!

Svetlana, all your roses look so healthy and crisp--must be a nice temperature for you now. Your roses are so well care for, and I'll bet you are quite particular about it. Are the roses in the lavender pots new?

Here's hoping for good weather and no smoke in everyone's tomorrows.

Diane - well, now we're getting rain. Wed and the weekend are good, beyond that we have about 2 weeks of rain....so off and on again rain. But that's okay. I still have August and Sept for good rose weather.

Yep, still smoky . They are saying that it could be smoky the rest of the summer. Yay life in Southern Oregon during the summer time . always wonder where could I move that would be better but it seems like every state has got issues. Too much rain not enough rain to much smoke too much wind I guess I'll just stay put for now.

The air is in the unhealthy range and you are suppossed to wear a mask to be outside.

My daughter has been training for an ultra marathon it is a 50K. This is the 2nd summer in a row that she trained for that marathon and it has been canceled due to smoke.

Atleast my roses don't mind the smoke, the 102 temps, they dont love. But most look ok.
Kristine LeGault 8a pnw

Carol, I have quite a few lilies and most bloom at different times. I still have several yet to bloom.

Jim, I went out to measure the blooms on Fiji. Most are 4 inches.

I also noticed that my new Twilight Zone is going bonkers.

Awful temps! I can't imagine all that smoke! Prayers for all you dealing with heat & disasters!

Sorry to hear your daughters marathons keep getting canceled because of smoke...

We have a big break in the rain as its only sprinkling this morning... We lost 90% of Earthsongs blooms and lost alot on MOTH & Julia Child......D.Ko's and CC are ok for the most part...I deadheaded all the really bad torn blooms off rose bushes but left on the blooms that were only crusty looking... Can not really notice that the blooms are crusty from a distance...lol

On average our potted FIJI blooms are 2 inches or smaller right now here...No big deal as plants are still small... Kristine....

Our FIJI in the ground has never bloomed yet...(Planted MAY 2017) Still waiting on that one...Seems like it takes 2 full seasons then the start of the 3rd season before Fiji's start blooming here...Not sure yet how long it will take before they start growing here...LOL...From the looks of it probably about 4-5 years maybe?

We have alittle over 2 months left in our current growing season...

Have a great day everyone!

Yes we like the FIJI blooms Kristine....Just can't wait to see a larger mature bush producing more of them though...lol....

I thought it might be that FIji disliked our native in ground soil for some reason so that's why I put one Fiji in a large pot BUT that turned out not to be the case...

Actually, our in ground Fiji's leaves look more healthy then the potted Fiji leaves do...Whether in ground or in light potting mix there growing snail speed here...lol

Plum Perfect is also still growing at a slow pace.... Not as slow as Fiji but still I consider it slow!

But thats ok as I put other small shrubs in this year and they need a couple years to grow larger...So once they all mature together in the next couple years things should look much better....

Where is everyone??? I miss seeing everyones roses, plants, pets, etc....

I'm here, Jim, but no photos - sorry. Not that there's much to see. And sorry to hear about so many of your blooms taking a battering.

Kristine, that's awful about your smoky air, and how disappointing for your daughter if it's cancelled again.

Svetlana, your balcony looks so pretty. And what an assortment you're managing to grow there.

I'm planning on a nice day in the garden today, planting. I finally got around to painting a trough that came with the house. At one stage it must have been white, but it had deteriorated into being mostly grey, with large curls of peeling paint. Only been looking at it for 8 years! I found some cheap gazanias at the nursery, which will do for now. Also, some not so cheap bougainvilleas for other pots (which also need repainting, darn it), another 3D osteospermum, and a dark purple heliotrope.

It is still extraordinarily warm here for mid-winter. Actually, it's perfect weather for gardening. Makes me nervous for summer though.

Jim, everyone is in his/her air conditioned home, lying exhausted in a chair, or in his/her non air conditioned home fleeing from the rain. Who's gardening? I think Kristine is because she seems to have a lot of lovely roses and plants in bloom right now. They are addicted to smoke, apparently. Jim, the Figi bloom you show above is exquisite. Remember, it's quality not quantity. I'm sorry Julia suffered bloom loss in your rain when she looked so good.

Carol, rain, oh no....still you won't have to do any hand watering and everything will be refreshed and raring to bloom. Diane

I'll dredge up some springish photos to please Jim.

Nice to hear from you titian1 ! Enjoy your day in the garden!

Rain has stopped here for now so I've been outside cleaning things up...

Potted Fiji might not be real big Nanadoll buts its still producing a decent amount of blooms for its size...Some of these blooms crisped in the rain but they held up otherwise just fine...This rose is starting its 3rd season...It sat in the ground for 2 seasons doing nothing...Still has not grown much but its blooming this year finally...lol

Kristine - really? You have to wear a mask? Wow!

Jim - your Fiji bloom is hiding from the rain...great looking flower! The rain sure has done damage to your blooms...losing 90% of flowers is no fun. Your Fiji looks like it's finally becoming a star. That's a lot of waiting on your part though.

Diane - I still can't get over the colors your purples have. A lot of Angel Face pictures I've seen have a less purpley color that I'm not fond of....but your AF colors are beeautiful!!! Thanks for the pictures!

Carol, we lost 90% blooms on Earthsong, about 50% on MOTH, and about 50% on Julia Child.(But there still more buds on all those rose bushes that have not opened yet..) Our D Ko's , Carefree Celebration, Fiji, hardly lost any as they seem to have tougher blooms...

Carol, did you get to plant any roses in those holy pots your husband made??? I can't wait to see how they do...

I think Fiji will be a good rose in about 1-2 more years...I get concerned though about winter dieback and rose bushes that do not come back fast from having to be cut way back...I may have to make some rose changes in the future but we will see....

Purple was my deceased sisters favorite color so I really enjoy seeing purple blooms Nanadoll! Our Plum Perfect is on the purple side in real life...

This new Plum Perfect bloom wasn't bothered to much by the rains...See water seeping out of petals?

I've been so busy with work and gardening I haven't had time to visit here for a while! So many beautiful photos from everyone.

I love your arches Cori Ann, I can use a few of them myself for the sweet peas! Too bad I don't have room.

The little wabbit is just too cute zzzone! I can't believe you can just pick them up like that. I thought they run fast?

Jim you do live in a tough climate for gardening! I don't think I can cope with all the snow and the flood! On the bright side you won't get thirsty.

Jim, that's scary. Stay away from raging creeks. I hope it doesn't make it to your house. Does your poor wife have to come along on these adventures?

Fragrance, it's good to hear from you. Any interesting new projects in your garden? I agree that any rabbits I've come across, run away. They can bite and scratch, too, innocent though they seem. The heat here is so oppressive, and it's dry, dry, dry. I just can't water enough, and there are always areas that our system doesn't reach well. Jim may have too much water, but he doesn't have hundreds of $ in water bills! Ugh.

Our closest neighbors, who live just below us, have to replace an awful fence that runs along the property line. We have a retaining wall that follows a lot of the fence, and that wall is failing--sooo, guess who will be losing a bunch of plants, and a good chunk of a border when the contractor tears everything out? Plus a peony and some roses will have to be dug out. What a mess this year has been. Living at the top of a hill is just one big watering problem. Everything runs downhill. Diane

Jim - we've got 5 roses in those holey pots. :) My husband is going to do 5 more. I haven't noticed any improvement with the holes...but that may take awhile. Most of my roses seem to be loving the 5:1:1 mix...well...they've started to improve a little bit. I don't want to throw them away anymore...there's hope. Your roses really took a hit, Jim. And what a wonderful brother you are to love growing purple roses. :) I can't get over how tough your DKO rose is!!! Sitting in water and still looking amazing!! I hope your rain stops soon! You have definitely had enough. I'm so impressed by your roses and how they handled the rain! Wow!

Diane - that is so true!!! It must be so hard to water your roses/plants when the water won't stay...but just runs downhill. So expensive too!! What we won't do for our roses. :)
