A Blessedly Cooler Day.

5 years ago

On a day that began with a lovely line of fog along the hills, I am grateful for weather cool enough to allow roses to open normally.

Tomorrow is supposed to be even cooler.

So mote it be.

'Mme. Lambard' in mid-October.

Our wish for my cool air to flow your way must have worked, Jeri. It's cooling off out there, and back to 80F by Wednesday here! That's after 34F last night, lol

John, I'll put my wishing hat on, and hope we can both get some old-fashioned Fall weather.

Comtesse -- The Madame is infinitely changeable . . . Which has gained her a whole slew of study names. It's like having many roses in one plant.

Jeri, your rose is lovely. Mine here are so much deeper colored I would never know it is the same Mme Lambard.

Fall 2020. I do think deadheading would have been better for this rose. This year I got behind.
