Indian Pinks are fab. I would love to see a splash of their color here. The heat is building here too. Summer is almost upon us.
ReplyDeleteThe Daydream rose is dreamy.
ReplyDeleteYour Indian Pinks look fab. Mine are finished already! But perhaps that's because they were nursery bought and planted this spring? Maybe they'll bloom later and longer if they return next year? (I didn't deadhead, which I heard can stimulate repeat bloom, because I'm hoping to get seeds. But I don't know. They may have finished blooming before the hummingbird came back to the garden...)
Phillip I believe it was good year for Indian Pinks. Never had this many blooms. Love them too!
ReplyDeletePhillip,
ReplyDeleteI always swoon for your roses! Do you do anything to keep them robust -- spray, etc.? Which ones do you feel hold up best in our humid environments? Thanks!
Shenandoah, I don't do anything special to them and I don't spray. Only the toughest stay! I find that hybrid musks do well and they take our increasing shade better than most roses.
ReplyDeleteNice photos today. I especial like the rose - Daydreams. Very nice. Glad to make the visit today. Jack
ReplyDeleteThe roses are adorable. Love those small sweet blooms. You know, I've tried growing Indian pink, but it died out. I must have placed in a place it didn't like. I do love the look of it though. ~~Dee
ReplyDeleteI love those roses...the color is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love your Indian Pink. I was given some last year, but I critter dug it up almost immediately. :( Hopefully I'll be able to find some more one day!
ReplyDeleteI love to "visit" gardens in other zones, and see the different plants. Indian pinks look really cool, I've never seen them in person. That first rose picture is absolutely gorgeous!
