Paul so you are so right. The roses here have had one week of cool weather (days in 70s, nights in 50s) and that is about perfect for rose blossoms. The skies were totally overcast today and more than once i thought I should go in the house to get the camera. The southern skies were purplish--probably Oklahoma was getting a storm--I didn't check the weather channel, but it would have made for some glowing photos. Maybe tomorrow!
