I wish I could show you blooms from my garden right now but I haven't had a single new bloom in several days. I have a lot of small buds so maybe in a few days I will have something to share. Yours are of course, as usual, beautiful blooms.

Beth, I look forward to seeing them. I think your season lasts a little longer than mine so you'll probably still have quite a few blooms to share with us this year.

Beautiful roses! Here are a few that I've captured in the last few days.

Gertrude Jekyll - This is her first year in the garden and I haven't seen her since June - I guess she doesn't like hot summers.

Summer Love was purchased a few years ago in honor of my late mother-in-law. The rose was described as compact and great for a small garden. She's narrowish but really tall by fall - make sure you have the air space because she's over 6 ft tall! You can see my shadow in the lower left corner of this photo holding my iPhone up above my head to get this photo.

Easy Does It produces a lot of rose hips and color can vary -- see next photo.

Easy Does It - pink version maybe due to different sun exposure.

Grande Dame - she had a weak neck in the first year but her scent was so wonderful I gave her a chance. Now that's she's several years old and 7 - 8 ft tall, her neck is pretty strong given how heavy the blossoms are. I have a photo of a whole vase of Grande Dame I was able to gather this past spring. Glad I took a chance on her!

Bella Roma is only about 2 ft tall in her first year. Very pretty and fragrant.

Mr. Lincoln was towering over the garden last weekend. I like to believe that the real Mr. Lincoln with his great sense of humor would appreciate that his rose namesake gets really tall like he was. :)

Thanks for starting this thread Sharlene!
