We are getting a bit of rain and I took some time off from stacking wood to take a few photos before the blooms were damaged by the rain.
I didn't get much of a fall flush this year because of the drought. I deliberately pushed my roses into summer dormancy and the high temps stuck around until late September. We did get two days of rain and I think that's why I have any roses blooming in my garden. With the dry soil deep down, no matter how well mulched the plants were, the water I applied was virtually sucked down to the dry deeper soil levels.
Most of my roses didn't really give me a fall flush.
I was so happy to see some un-crispy blooms, I wanted to share:
Ralph's Creeper
Cupcake

Kardinal 85
Pink Poodle

It's time to do inside chores. I'll add photos to the database later.
Smiles,
Lyn
