Peach Drift. Getting almost neon in the heat. I had to water this one midday because it's in a pot.

Julia Child. Does anything bother this rose?

This lavender parade mini. From the grocery store. This was a difficult photo to get. Against the bright neon bush basil it kept photographing really over saturated with my phone.

That's everything. I can't wait for it to go back into the 90's.

Wow, 111F - HOT!!! And so many roses still look great!

Might just shade my new Ebb Tide if we ever warm up!! We have been around highs of 65F for over two weeks now with rain every day! My problem isn't frying it's balling!

Pretty peach drift... my Yves Piaget survived the heat today, but it looks as tho my Royal Jubilee did not.. and its only going to get hotter. Thanks for sharing!

ModestGoddess - Thank you! Grace sure is pretty huh?

I do love lavender roses. I wish I had room for more.

Sharlene - It's very hot. Even hotter today than yesterday too! I'd definitely shade it in the afternoon if you get too hot. Twilight zone is partially shaded and she still burned.

I'll trade you some heat for your rain lol.

Haku84- I like peach drift alot. But the form isn't as nice when is it's hot. It has more petals when it's cooler out.

I'm happy your Yves Piaget made it. I should have cut the flowers for indoors on mine when I saw it start crisping.

That's hot! Nice shots of your blooms!

Beautiful roses! I'm in 10a/20, San Fernando Valley, and my Julia Child stayed too long in the oven today ...

At 11 am (in a pot, facing south), it looked great.

At 2:30, it was burning and drooping, agghh.

I watered (although it wasn't dry), misted, and draped it with shadecloth.

Other blooms fried, but the sunburn on poor Julia was the worst I've ever seen. Of course, we haven't had heat like this for ten years, and I've only been growing roses for four.

Perhaps Julia was so sensitive because she is just a baby? I planted her from a two-gallon pot in May of this year.

Lavender Simplicity is looking particularly cool in your 110 degree heat.

Jim - Thank you!

Dublinbay - I really like Lavender Simplicity. I bought it from the nursery last year and so far it's doing well.

However the blooms I posted are not.

After it hit 114 (yikes!) yesterday, they fried. Seems 110 is the threshold. I wish my phone had made my photos of it a little less... Neon. It's really more of a soft lavender.

Sylvia - I'm really not sure. How big is the actual plant?

I'm going to hazard a guess that it's because it was in a pot. Especially if that pot was on concrete.

I had a potted Julia which fried last summer. Poor thing had it's roots cooked.

This year I bought a new one and found a spot in the garden and it's proving to be a very tough rose in the ground.

I planted it in May also, but it's sent out tons of new growth since and not stopped blooming.

Did you mulch the pot? My bed is pretty heavily mulched which I think really helps.

114 WOW!

Ordphien, my Julia is on dirt, not concrete. It's in a blue glazed pot. The pot is way bigger than the plant, which is about a foot high at this point.

I misted all the roses first thing this morning, and again at noon, and I'll do it again this evening.

Julia has a rock mulch right now, but I'll be adding compost asap. She seems to like being shaded (but who wouldn't, in this heat? It's 104 here now at 12:26 pm).

Thanks for the suggestions!
