Here's today's best blooms...

ANNA - a couple days later.. love how she blushes all over

ARIOSO - this one I got from Cliff yrs ago and had it in one of the beds I had to dig up for the septic re-do. It rarely ever bloomed due to the dang trees shading that area. I am so glad to have those trees gone now!!

DREAM - this is one I got from Hortico many yrs ago. It didn't do very well til I planted it in one of the new beds. Now I'm not so sure it's the correct rose. Too pale, and usually has fewer petals than this. So not sure what it could really be....

GIRLS' NIGHT OUT - she's kinda got an unusual dusty rosey-red color this time instead of bright pink. Maybe it's the shady spot she's in right now... awaiting one of the new beds.

JUBILE DU PRINCE DE MONACO - aka CHERRY PARFAIT.

JULIE NEWMAR

KAREN BLIXEN - the least thrips-infested bloom so far!

PAPA MEILLAND - is in fact much darker black-red than shows up here...

POLYNESIAN SUNSET - this poor baby and it's neighbors don't bloom much cuz I need to clear out all the damn Bermuda grass that's infested the bed!
