Great photos of some lovely blooms.

Is the first one Rosa mutabilis 'Chinensis'?

Wait, what?! "Mutabalis" is not a rose, I don't care what you say! LOL.

Beautiful roses Phillip. Isn't it wonderful that the Japanese Beetles are finally gone?

That first rose is amazing. I have a 'Buff Beauty' and like its delicate color.

Tatyana@MySecretGarden said...

Clair Matin has such a beautiful color! I like the fountain, too!

Phillip said...

Les, you are correct.

Sweet Bay, I am happy that the Japanese beetles are gone. They were not too bad this year.

I like them all. I think I'm going to but a bare root the Autumn, probably Rosa Moyesii 'Geranium', apparently the hips are fantastic,flagon shaped.

Carolyn Parker said...

Wow Phil, lovely blog, so much info too. I look forward to 'digging' in. Thanks!

Tim said...

Absolutely beautiful! As each photo opened on my screen, I kept thinking..."That's my favorite! No, that one is....no, that one!" I guess I'll just have to love them all!

How lucky to have so many roses still blooming! I love 'Clair matin', it's just beautiful!

Phillip, lovely photos. I hope we get a few blooms in September. The Japanese beetles will be gone about the middle of the month. Doesn't leave much time for them to bloom before it frosts.

Rose and plume poppy -- a combo I hadn't considers.
