I have too many roses so I will make this a 2-part post and feature the roses in the back garden in the next post.
ReplyDeleteEvery single one of those roses is a jewel, Phillip. I've given up on most of my roses - I just don't have enough water to keep them happy. You got an unseasonal downpour and we got 0.02/inch of drizzle but then we don't usually get a drop of rain between April and October so I shouldn't complain, especially as our temperatures are also cooler than normal for this time of year.
Kris, well in reality, just 1/2 inch but still very grateful. This time of year, there usually isn't any at all.
DeleteSo gorgeous. Now you're making me want to add roses. You sure know how to curate a garden. Aren't we lucky to have you amongst Pacific Northwest gardening nerds. Inspiring, always. Cheers
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia - to answer your question - YES - and to be away from the heat and tornadoes, even better.
DeleteWOW! So many gorgeous roses, they are loving your up & down weather. 'Lady Emma Hamilton' is so lovely, is it scented?
ReplyDeleteYes it is - as a matter of fact, it is our favorite scented David Austin rose.
DeleteOh, Phillip, they are all so beautiful, and we have truly had crazy weather this year. Debbie Crockett
