Golden Celebration, blackspot all over!

Just Joey is huge- she's about 4 ft across! She's on fortuniana and she survived our weird winter.

Heirloom, she lost a lot of leaves from blackspot.

I was a bit worried about these hydrangeas and the freeze last week.

ah manna for the soul! gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! beautiful pictures - thank you so much for sharing your beauties. Heard you guys had snow in some parts - my mother was so disappointed she missed out on that as she's out of the country right now - she's also missing her spring flush poor thing and my Step Dad does not get her request to take pictures of the roses and email them to her!

msjam2,

Your roses are beautiful! Especially the UPRIGHT 'Pat Austin'!

Thanks for the inspiration,
BC:)

Thanks for posting the great pics, msjam. I'm in your area and I've experienced an unusual amount of blackspot for this early in the season. Of course, I hadn't sprayed at all until today, so it's my own fault ! Your roses seem to be ahead of mine. I have lots of blooms on About Face, Hot Chocolate and Iceberg, but the rest are just buds getting ready to burst.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen a green lizard here. I grew up seeing them, but since I've lived in the DFW area, all I've seen is the brown ones.

I just love your columbine. Did you buy it around here?

Laurie

Your photos make one feel they could reach out and pick one! Lovely, lovely, lovely. thanks for the treat.

Great picture show! Lots of fun.

wow, I love these bush photos.Them roses are gorgeous,gorgeous.Happy to see a photo of Jeanne Lajoie as I just got one in January and wondering how big its going to get.How old is yours?

Jean

All your roses are wonderful, bush photos as well as close ups. I'm glad you did both, that's great, thanks for sharing all of those:) Beautiful roses, black spot problems or not, I really enjoyed all of them and the lizards!
Leslie

Thank you everyone.

Carol, some of my roses looks really bad because of blackspot, I'm seriously considering spraying them this weekend, the big three are GC, Heirloom and Sharifa.

Laurie, that columbine was already there when we moved in, I don't know where the previous owners bought it from. I'm glad I kept it, it's so pretty. I've never seen that green lizard before yesterday, my cat drove them up the wall lol. I don't know if lizards are territorial but there seems to be one in every rose bed.

Jean, I got that Jlj from Melva, I don't know how old it is, I'll ask her. She's absolutely a beauty.

Leslie, thanks! I appreciate looking at bush shots when members posts them too. :)

Great photos! Pat Austin and the columbines are just beautiful. Thanks.

We may get snow tomorrow, and surely a slight freeze here, but my columbines are trying to bloom, and one is in full bloom. A few rosebuds are on that didn't get killed during the hard freeze last week.

Gary

Wow do you have some beauties. I love your Columbine. Pat Austin sure is a sight I would like to see here.

Thank you,
Carla

Beautiful Pics!! Where did you get Just joey on fortuniana?

Now, that's a garden!

Just Joey came from a local nursery in Orlando. :)
