Kristine and Everyone - I tried to start a separate thread, twice, but Houzz wouldn't let me, so if you don't mind, I'll add on to all these beautiful posts. I have a rose that has really made me smile this weekend, I've taken many many photos the last two days, first thing in the morning, so the light is great and the color is vibrant. The rose is Rainbow Niagara, to me it's Tropical Sunset. It's tall, (from Palatine, on Multiflora), over my head, so I had to use a little stepladder for some shots, but it was worth it. If y'all don't get to see these, I'm the only one in the world who will (well, my husband looked at a few on the camera viewfinder, said "wow").
