Weather's changing... starting to feel like fall. Thought it was going to rain this morning. Didn't realize I shoulda changed the settings on the camera. The pics have a reddish cast that's hard to edit out. So some of the colors might be a little off.

ATTACHE

LAURA BUSH

LEE GREENWOOD mini

LOVE'S KISS

MALIBU florist rose

MISS BEHAVIN'

NICOLETTE

RENATA

Nice roses. THRILLER is a newbie for me. Love to see wild birds, We used to get a lot of them, every night, roosting in our neighbours tree, right in the city.

Love the long 'beard' in the second pic.

I love suburban wildlife! Here's our own resident wild turkey scoping out my soon to be rose bed. By the way, leafing out the bare-root roses in Lowe's buckets was a horrible idea as getting them out was a complete pain, don't do it people.

Love 'Scandia'. Do you know its hybridizer? HMF still has no info and a google search is not getting me anywhere.

Yeah the turkeys are pretty cool. I just wish the peacocks were still around.

Irisgal, I know SCANDIA was sold by Certified Roses in Tyler, TX. It's been around for a good many yrs. I would bet money it was hybridized by Astor Perry. They used to sell a lot of his roses. I probably have their old catalog that it was intro'd in. I'll have to look it up and see if there's any info. They used to intro a lot of really cool roses yrs ago. Not so much any more tho.
