Delayed Summer 2014 Pics

11 years ago

Hello all,

Sorry for disappearing after my introduction last year. I ended up getting into grad school, which has taken up a fair amount of my time. I thought I would post a few of my rose pictures from last summer.

Angel Face. New acquisition in 2014 -

Chicago Peace. All the flowers on this branch have this striping, so I'm trying to graft it to preserve the mutation -

Gold Medal. Another new rose from 2014 -

I can't wait for spring (I say as we prepare for a blizzard). Only a few more months...

What beautiful roses Will, I'm impressed. I love everyone of them, they belong in a rose publication. I am especially excited about your bloom of Paradise, I've always loved that rose and I ordered one for spring, hope it's as pretty as yours. Love that unique bloom of Chicago Peace too. Wish you the best with grad school and also hope and pray that everyone in the path of the blizzard stays safe.

Really lovely photos. You have grown some real beauties. I especially love the Paradise. It has been a favorite in my garden, but it has been in decline. Congrats on Grad school. Hard work pays off! lesley

You have some very nice pictures here. The Queen Elizabeth is particularly exquisite and looks better than many that I have seen. Thanks for the look.

Thank you all for your kind words. The snow has finally ceased, however it will probably be into June before the 3 feet of snow we got melts...

iris_gal: I just used my Android phone's camera to take the photos. No color modifications or anything special. It's a fairly good camera.

seil: I know what you mean. I've been going to this forum a lot recently to warm myself up during these cold months. :)

You take great photos! Hope your sport turns out. I too am trying to root a yellow sport of CP but I haven't had luck in the past with it keeping the mutation. Let's cross our fingers!
Is Paradise always that nice? How is it in heat?

kathy9norcal: This photo was taken earlier in the summer before it got hot. Usually it has more of the darker colors around the edges of the petals. It stands the heat fairly well for me here in zone 6a.
