Wow, Sheila !! They look absolutely beautiful and mouth dropping too.

It's been raining here daily . Took me forever to deadheaded my Ping Dong before it poured down hard. I still have to do weeding which is a total disaster for me right now. Weeds grow soooo fast. Juggling work and everything going around is making me so tired with very short of sick staffs in FL and making me very worried. I am super tired and blowing most of my gardening.

Yes, those teas are doing beautifully in the heat, Sheila. They are beautiful, as well as their surroundings I have a whole lot of roses that don't like the heat. But you can surely tell the ones that are heat seekers.

Plumeria, your roses don't look neglected--they are gorgeous. What is the lovely red/dark pink rose behind Ping Dong? Please stay healthy and well and try to rest. The weeds can wait. Diane

Thanks, Diane ! I am trying hard to stay safe and healthy.

It is David Austin rose, Lady Megginch

3 darker pinkish red is Lady Megginch rose ❤️

Oh, these gorgeous teas! I need some heat! Mine are pretty boring right now. Sheila I feel joy seeing your plants too!

Plumeria, stay safe and healthy. Just ignore the weeds and focus on your roses-they also look great!

Hi there back Sheila! Hello to Jin too! Those Teas do indeed look like they are enjoying the heat, Sheila. Yours look just fine to me too, Jin. I have my own mess to compare them to, so believe me, I’m seeing worse. Things have been a little rough for me since hip surgery, with unexplained issues. The hip itself is feeling better each day.

I hope Ingrid’s is well. I haven’t heard from her personally in over a week. We are supposed to be having a very hot weekend and I know I‘m dreading it. I’m sure Ingrid is too. Stay safe, Jin. Thanks for posting these Sheila! Lisa

Sheila and Plumeria your roses are beautiful. My teas might enjoy the heat, except I am having to battle chili thrips and spider mites. I have tried not to spray because I want my good mites to get established..... hoping that they can eventually deal with the nasty "bugs"..... we will have to see if the good bugs or bad bugs win..... if my will power doesn't lose..

I need rain....right now my roses are not enjoying the hot humid heat..... so I will be enjoying looking at the roses that you post.

Sheila, your teas fill me with joy, too. Those colors are lovely together. If we keep inching toward a warmer zone, maybe someday I will try again. I'm behind on deadheading, too, and weeding.

Jin, you're not alone in the weeding chore. I agree with everyone else that your roses do not look neglected. Now, we all need Lady of Megginch after seeing yours.

Jin, that is a gorgeous bouquet. Why don't we read more about Lady of Megginch? I had forgotten it even exited, and what a beautiful rose it is. I love its bloom structure and slightly different color. Diane

Thanks for your beautiful , lovely comments. I believe Shiela has best of both worlds. She can grow so many varieties of roses from Gallicas, moss, China's, teas and list go on. Shiela, I really enjoy the huge range of roses and collection you have. I enjoying looking at them tremendously. I have to get Anna Oliver from Greenmantle. I surely procrastinated for a long time.

Diane, Lady Megginch is pretty tall . I love the blooms which do not nod unless the whole cane weighs down so far so good since it is sturdier now. I am glad you enjoy it .

Sharon, I wish I can send you rain . I had enough of it . It is going on for a few months. Mostly dialy. I pull weeds weekly on my day offs and when I finish it grows back with vengeance. Last few weeks been 70-80 chances of rain. This week it is lower but I have not water my roses since April. Maybe I pick up hose 6-7 times in btw.

Outsteelers and Flowers. Both you guys are so sweet . I wish I can give you virtual hugs.

Lisa, I will catch up with you later.

Shiela, I hope I did not over step on your beautiful thread. Sorry !

Thank you for contributing, Jin. I loved your photos too.

Wonderful pictures Sheila and Jin! These teas look so silky!

Gorgeous, Sheila!!! It's amazing how much joy we can feel by looking at our roses! :) Yours are so feminine looking...love them!!

Jin - Life is a bit hectic for you now. Weeds will always be there....I hope you enjoy the roses more than you hate the weeds. :) You've got a lot of rose blooms!!! Wonderful!! Oh my!!!! Your bouquet is STUNNING!!!! And Lady Megginch steals the show!!! I was letting the rain, wind and cool weather get me down too. Finally, Finally we have some nice hot weather 25C/77F. :) Hang in there...I really hope you get some nice weather. :)

Lisa - I'm glad that your hip is doing better! That's great to hear!

Sharon - good luck with the good bugs. :)

Fabulous Tea Roses, love the blooms and colors.

What beautiful roses Sheila! The light just brings out the best in them too. I find the blowzy , fluttery leaves matches the blooms so well, a beautiful plant. thank you for sharing your roses. always something to look forward to!

Plumeria: Oh how I feel for you and how I know the feeling of being up against weeds. I could not take it anymore. I would have stopped gardening all together. I have been determining one section and then pulling out all weeds, every single one that the eye can see completely from the roots. Then I wait for more to come up, because for me most are perennial weeds. then pull those out too. And again. Finally cover with wood chips at least 8 inches thick. I could pull weeds till the end of time, it would not be enough. The wood chips help greatly. It looks like a miracle how well this has worked. Some weeds do come up but they come up from what was left in the soil and very easily to isolate and remove. The success will give you energy to continue bit by bit. It has been weeks and weeks of work, many hours a day. Its only been possible because I dont work outside now and my son and daughter helped. They are not thorough but they helped with broad layers of labor which made it doable. All that said your garden looks beautiful and healthy. Lady Megginch looks ravishing!

Please take care of yourself first. All the rest you need.

Sorry to digress this thread again.

Great idea, Katy!! I'm really glad it's worked out for you. :) :) It's no fun to totally exhaust ourselves when we're supposed to be enjoyed our gardens.

More beautiful roses from your garden Sheila! The colors of those two together are just stunning to say the least! :)

Thank you, all. Nola, that was what surprised me. The Tea colors can all look good together it turns out. Ingrid has advanced sophisticated tastes in regards to color. I had never seen any of these roses in person before I began growing them, so I guessed and got some warm pinks next to cool and vice versa. If I had it to do over I would probably place them differently but it is working out fine.

Sheila, anytime you want to post more of your lovely roses, feel free! I know we all look forward to seeing new variety's that are unknown to us!
