Rise N Shine is such a happy yellow rose!
Ernie is a new one for me.. both of these are Tom's Miniatures.
Across the way, is Tequila Sunrise/Sunset/sunsomething!
Next to Tequila Sunblahblah is a Perfume Tiger. I love this natural bouquet! Not bad for a Home Depot rose! :)
Then, Montezuma is finally going strong. Only took the poor thing 2 years. (I messed with the aperture of the camera to get a non-washed out image)
Down from Montezuma is Circus, new for this year.
And down from there is Sunsprite, also new for this year.
Up & Over from Sunsprite is Oranges and Lemons, which is still mostly oranges and no lemons.
And, introducing Blue Skies. I adjusted the aperture for this one as well.
You can see how small the poor bush is. I don't even feel right calling it a rose bush.
This is a RU rose that's rated for zone 6, but had winterkill down to the ground, so it grew 100% from roots this year.
Next to Blue Skies and above Oranges & Lemons 2 roses up is Mardi Gras. So dependable. My first rose from '08.
Keep going up & there's my Ruby Ruby. I think I'll just leave her there.. I wasn't expecting some of my hyssops to get as big as they have in my mini bed.
Then, going up the row is Sunny Delight. I tried to find happy yellows this year to offset all the "blue" I got. Didn't work, I'm still addicted to the blue roses.
Keep going up and there's a RedGold. Too bad doesn't stay this pretty for long.
Where the aspen tree used to be is now my birdbath (that I have yet to see a bird using). Surrounding the old stump are 5 roses, all in the blue family. Two are blooming. This one I know is Blue Girl.
I *think* that this is Singing in the Rain. I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to dig around & find it's tag.
And, I believe this is the last photo of the front yard, Picante. Nice bodybag rose from last year. I highly recommend it.
