Lotsa blooms

10 years ago

I hope everybody had a nice holiday weekend. Mine was great. We had relatives come up from SoCal and some from upstate NY. They came to visit my 97yr old mom, who will turn 98 in less than 2 weeks, if she makes it. At this point we're all pretty sure she will. Only time will tell. So anyway, haven't had much time to get online. Just got done tweakin' all the photos from the weekend. So thought I'd post a bunch before I go to the shop.

    Wow Beth!!! Those are some beautiful roses. I always enjoy and look forward to your photos. I love Flirtatious, so unusual and soft looking.

    I'm actually an avid orange hater. Yet, for some reason I'm very drawn to Summer Song. I really like that one. Is it really "orangey"? I'm usually such a cool, soft colors person. Pinks, white, cream, and lavenders.

    So many gorgeous roses you have. I'm quite envious:). Lisa

    +1 for WOW! What an amazing collection. I'm especially drawn to Gemma and am off now to research! I hope your Mom is doing well.

    Congratulations on your mom - you must be a good daughter that she's proud of. A loving family is a wonderful tonic for a long life.

    I love Flirtatious and Party Time - nice choices to bring pinks and yellows together. I'm beginning to love the look of lemony-yellows, like Mitsouko's lovely color, in my pink-favored garden.

    Thanks for the treats!

    Never seen a pink Madonna before. THE MCCARTNEY ROSE is showing very "neon". Love the colour on SUMMER SONG. Thanks for posting and a Happy Birthday to your mother.

    Thanks everyone! Mom's doing ok. Not sure what's keeping her going. Even the Hospice people can't figure it out. She's down to probably 75lbs or less, bed-ridden and doesn't know what's going on or who is who. She also has advanced macular degeneration, so can't see much of anything anymore. My younger son and my niece (who lives with her) take care of her and get paid by the state. Luckily we didn't have to put her in a home. She's able to stay in her own home... which she doesn't think is her home... It's kind of funny sometimes the things she says.

    Carol, THREE WEDDINGS came from Palatine in their 2015 collection. They carried it for several yrs, but dropped it this season. I like it so far.

    Ingrida, That MADONNA rose is one I got from Vintage Gardens quite a few yrs ago. It wasn't available very often, but I managed to snag one. It's a Meilland rose.

    SUMMER SONG is that Austin rose that supposedly doesn't do well over here in the USA. I got mine from Hortico several yrs ago, and am pretty thankful I managed to grab it. I seem to be the only one in the US (of those of us who have it) who really like it. It repeats well and grows like a climber. And the color is like no other of the DAs.

    I also was drawn to the colour of summer song, was about to research it. But perhaps not. All of your pics are great. It's like browsing a rose catalogue.

    I'll second halloblondie about looking at your pics being like browsing a rose catalogue. With you collections, I always make sure I have HMF open to research your presentations.
