I know what you mean Beth. It seems that as soon as I finish cleaning, deadheading and weeding one bed, there is another and another waiting for me. Would not mind to have another pair of hands around but neither DH nor DS is interested in helping.

Beautiful roses- I especially love your Moonstone!

Beautiful blooms, love them all!

Wow oh wow!!! I love your Malibu - it looks like a darker version of Gemini. Gorgeous!!!! That first shot should be in a magazine!!!!

Lovely roses .... but Malibu is above and beyond!!

Very nice Karen! :)

Your picture of 'Moonstone' is too tempting. I would probably like it better than my 'Secret' but have teetered on the fence for years about removing 'Secret'. Right now her blooms are NOT as exquisite as usual better not look too long at 'Moonstone'.

Love all the roses, but Moonstone is special.

I too love Moonstone the most. It is so perfectly beautiful when it blooms right. Once in awhile I do get a split center but I think that it maybe due to environmental conditions. It is one that I don't mind growing 2 or 3 of them.

Irisgal, I also grow and like Secret and although it is very lovely too, it is just not comparable to Moonstone. I think it maybe due to the climate. Secret probably performs better than Moonstone in CA than in the hot humid east coast. I don't know where I read this but someone had commented that Moonstone likes it hot and humid.

Lovely pic. of Quietness. I like the contrast of darker shade on one side of petal, lighter shade on opposite side.
