Hi Leslie - that is so nice. Maybe some day I'll have one to show too. I really went nut-so last year when Nor'east Mini rose nursery had a buy 3 get one free that included free shipping. I hope they have another one this year, sure would love to add more to my collection. Again, thanks for sharing such a beautiful bouquet.

Kasie

Thanks Kasie and I like to collect miniature vases also, so I have two hobbies that work together:) I'm just glad there are so many minis to choose from! I hope you'll share some of your roses also, I'm always looking for new ones. I love looking at rose photos. Leslie

That's really pretty, Leslie! You are SO lucky to still have roses blooming....it will be mid-June before I see the first blooms. That's why I take so many photographs! Enjoy those lovelies!
Celeste

Thank you Celeste, it's getting cooler here, I've still a few more blooms yet but this will be about the last for the year and these are really young roses. Nice especially coming from you since your photos are the first to make me want some larger roses to also enjoy! :)Leslie

Leslie,

What is the one in the back, the white with red edges?

Laurie

Hi Laurie, that is RainForest, it is actually a soft pink and the edges are a raspberry. The bud is opened a little more today so I took another photo for you. This was a new floribunda in 2005 from Sequoia Nursery fyi. When I walked through the nursery looking for new roses to grow it caught my eye. (click to enlarge photo) Leslie

Actually Laurie I meant to add that the petal color is also a very pale green as it ages. Leslie

What a lovely bouquet---I also like the vase.
Rainforest is very pretty.

Florence

Thank you Florence, RainForest is a floribunda and that was the one bud the bush was willing to grace me with since I planted it in Sept. but it was worth the wait:) It still has alot of growing to do yet, it's a third of the size to be. I had to transplant it from where I put it initially so it got a later start than the others. The vase is one of my collectibles that I like to put my minis in:) Thanks for your complements that means alot, I love your roses also, mine pale beside. Leslie
