Oh, wow, it's already July. I'm a little late with this thread. I guess I was waiting for June 31st.

The thumbnail for this month is of Summer Sun, a Kordes floribunda that resembles Black Tea, Ann Henderson, and Coffee Country in my garden at different stages in its color variations.

NoID4: Laundry Incident. I wish I had taken a picture of the bud. It was almost red. The thorns on this one are wicked! Every inch of cane is covered.

Happy July!

Lovely choice, Zuzu! Like a beautiful sunset.

Hiyamakki, I can see those wicked thorns! Pretty rose but I don't have a clue.

Traviata. I hope it improves once it's more established. So tiny! Looks almost like a carnation. Not much scent.

NoID5: Buttermilk Duchess
I love how well behaved this bush is! Upright grower, lush foliage. Even the flowers have a lovely scent (you really need to get your nose in there though).

Coffee Country
Pinker than I hoped but amazing strong scent!

It's described as medium to large on HMF, but mine have been on the larger size as shown here, growing beside The Prince (Traviata is on the left).

And here's a cluster of three blooms.

Saharan Sandstorm would be a great name for a rose!

Not a rose but... the first tomato of the season!

This is Burpee's Fourth of July Tomato and it has never failed to give me a ripe tomato by the 4th, lol!

I like the unusual simplicity of the second one in particular.

Jude is my favorite rose. I always have Jude vase in house. Can't have enough of its heavenly fruity scent. .
Love it's elegant apricot color and very unique form too.
