Last night we got another frost, not a bad one, definitely not a killing frost. But I know that the season is winding down with a vengeance and all my beautiful roses that are in full flower now (some for the first time this year!!!!!!!) won't make it much longer. This is the longest Indian Summer we've had in years.. we usually have a good snow by now. Maybe this will be a mild winter? Don't know.
Anyways, on to the roses.
Ch-Ching! is finally blossoming. And when it does, BOY does it!
Gingersnap has not given me a single bloom this year. It pouted all summer. And now it has a single droopy bud. *sigh*
Kordes Briliant (sp?) is definitely brilliant! Couldn't get a "sunshine" picture of it, though, so this is in light shade.
Maybe I can get a picture of Octoberfest open when I get home.
And Wildfire is just amazing!
I'm pretty happy in the end with all the RedGolds.
Melody Perfume had a rough beginning with me, and is now a happy rose.
Intrigue doesn't want to open. I took this a couple of days ago and last night it was still the same. Huh.
Tequila Sunset is so dependable with giving me blooms.. once it starts blossoming, it doesn't stop. This is almost how it's been all season.
Ruby Ruby is identical with being a blooming idiot. But, right now, it's actually buried under about 12" of mulch (mulched the last of the roses last night, so everyone's under mulch for the winter)
This rose was red last year, but it's been blooming pink all summer. Found this bloom under all the hyssops & agastaches. No ID.
Tuscan Sun is a warm happy corally orange. It's a nice rose.
I want to bring this spray of Heirlooms into my office for a last hurrah. It smells divine & you can actually smell it about 5 feet away!
Escapade has grown on me. Still don't know why I bought it, but it's a very nice bush and has wonderful smelling roses. But a little too pink for my tastes.
Sunny Delight just keeps on a truckin'.
Kordes Perfecta is just breath-taking. I can't believe that I'm growing something that looks like a rose you'd find in a bouquet.
Back in my back yard, the pond area actually looks almost like something I'd actually want to look at. Please excuse the dead & the bottle of fertilizer!
Some of the roses are just going bonkers in my pond area. Here's one of my Sterling Silvers. I swear it's a climber.
And a Sterling Silver with a Singin' the Blues.
And a different Singin' the Blues with Heirloom.
Summer Sunshine makes me happy considering it's one of the few roses that I haven't managed to kill in 2 years! Yay!
Europeana is frost-kissed and Sunsprite is spent.
Scentimental can't keep it's heads up. I've never had such a droopy nodding roses. What can I do to make the canes thicker?
And, lastly, Scentsation (mini) is blooming again.
