Looking good Tammy! :)

Del Rio is a pretty color and doesn't look as tho the heat/humidity bothers it at all. Have to look this one up.

The winds just blew a nest from a tree - didn't see any eggs or hear mama fussing. Hope it was an oldie unused. That is so amazing the birds are confident enuf to build in your pots. At ground level!!

Iris gal, Del Rio seems like a good variety so far. I just got it from ARE this spring. Its not on HMF though...I've tried to list it as a missing plant twice, but I know they're swamped so it never gets added :(

The roses where the nest is are luckily on my back patio table, so they're off the ground. I still worry about my dogs hearing the babies once they hatch though...I would consider moving the pot, but I don't want the mom to abandon them....what to do, what to do hmmm

Del Rio is interesting, similar petals to Lady Ann Kidwell.

And I love Super Dorothy.

Love the nest too, what kind of bird?

You're right, Kippy, it does look like Lady Ann Kidwell, except Del Rio has much bigger blooms. ARE does say its a found rose, and it definitly looks like a tea to me. I just love it, and its healthy to boot!

The bird is a cute little song sparrow :)

Tammy

Love your " scrapings".
My sister used to get nests in her hanging basket..

All lovely roses, Tammy, but love the birds nest!
