Ah, what beautiful rose candy pictures! Just gorgeous. So glad you posted these.

Mustbnuts, thanks. These are in their second and third seasons, I am enjoying them tremendously.

Beautiful!

I'm finally starting to see tiny flower buds among my roses. As with last year, 'Marie Pavie' seems to be winning the race for the first to bloom. I spend a little time every morning pulling weed seedlings, and keep thinking "maybe I should take some pictures" but I think they might be boring right now. The only stuff blooming are the bulbs I put in last year, and they really need another year or two to spread and fill in before they're pic-worthy. But it looks like it's only a couple more weeks before things get going here.

Thanks Christopher, looking forward to seeing your pictures.

sara_ann, you're torturing me, but don't stop. At least someone has beautiful roses. Mme. Ernest Calvat is so big and luscious looking, but they're all gorgeous.

Thank you so much Ingrid. I would totally agree with you on MEC, I'm totally in love with it. It is a very attractive rose, I love the color and it has a wonderful fragrance. and it seems to last for days on the bush. I always enjoy your beautiful roses and hope you have more soon.
