It is has been really hot here for the past 4 days and the roses that seemed unaffected by it are the Queen Elizabeth and the red knockout. To think I was so put off at how there seemed to be hardly blooms on my Lizzie, Well now she is more than making up for it. She is going like gangbusters and they are so big and beautiful that I had to share these pictures I took of her today and not to be outdone is my Knockout Red Rose, I thought the first flush was amazing. but this session well is awesome!!! And both of them were planted last year. Why would I buy store bought ones when I can get this growing in the garden out the back where I sit.
