Geesh, Those storms where nasty last night Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Just north of here had soft ball sized hail. The kind of storms usually reserved for the south.

They're beautiful and I'm glad you rescued them! Yes, we had some nasty weather last night but my roses are pretty well spent and I had already cut the good stuff for the show anyway. I didn't find much damage to the roses this morning. I lost one of my big dahlias though.

My goodness. The storms sound horrid. I live in North Georgia and have never had hail like that that I can remember. That would be awful. We have hail but not big like that. So glad you saved your roses and hope you get spared any nasty weather. Judy

I'm glad you were able to save them! They sure are pretty!!

I hope the storms miss you - my zone 6 is just north of Boston, and while they aren't completely gone yet, it looks a little brighter than it did an hour or so ago.

Pretty roses! Not that I'd want hail that big, but I sure wish we'd get some rain our way!!

Beautiful roses! Hope your roses don't get too much damage.

Gorgeous blooms! We had storms in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but not horrible, but some gusts which tore off 3 canes down to the ground of my David Austin healthy Bianca. I had to cut them off at the ground.

We were spared in my town, but other places had heavy damage. No hail for us or high winds. Just rain. We have had sooooo much rain. Good for growth of roses, but not for blooms.
