petite perl d'or

This tiny rose is a micro miniature.  Micro mini's flowers are usually about the size of my pinkie nail.  They are also a small bush all around.  I liked the way this came out using the fisheye app on my phone.

Teddy Bear Miniature

Teddy Bear is such a unique color. The coloring is almost like a caramel toffee. I personally am really attracted to odd color flowers. I love the muted colors that some people might think ugly. This rose seems to have lost some of its vigor. It really pouted after I moved it from the original spot it was in.
My garden is becoming more difficult to grow things in the back yard because my neighbors have a 70 foot tall tree in a small urban yard. I can not even explain how angry this tree makes me. I must of pulled up over a 100 seedlings this year and every year its seems like there are more. This tree is so invasive and irresponsibly planted. Gahhh!!! OK I am better now..

Astrogemma

Astrogemma is one of my favorite annuals. I start mine from seeds in peat pots first then transplant anywhere I can find a spot for these swaying beauty's to shine. I save the seed pods they produce and use them next year to repeat the cycle. If not massed they may need some support.

iceberg rose

I was Jogging through the neighborhood and I passed this beautiful iceberg rose blooming gloriously in front a house.

x-Rated

This miniature rose has to be on of the best.  The repeat is excellent. The bi coloring is crisp.  This plant blooms in mega clusters.  i will have to catch a full bloom picture sometime.

heather sproul

Heather Sproul is a warm pink miniature rose with perfect form for exhibition. This miniature for me has a strange growth habit. its very compact in that it does not give me many long cutting stems. A lot of the blooms come on short stems. it does not like to be pruned hard and will produce die back if so.

Fun Time with old friends

Mel and Myself on the left side playing with puffy paints!!!

He is so happy at the park so he has to go a few times before work. He really loves his van too.

Radiant Perfume (hybrid tea)

Radiant Perfume is a beautiful yellow hybrid tea. I smells wonderful and glows in the garden. I actually do not grow this rose, but my neighbor does. I often sneak whiffs of this gorgeous beauty. It has very clean foliage and repeats very well.

dorcas (shrub rose)

One of my favorite types of roses would be roses breed by Dr Griffith Buck. This rose here is called Dorcas. It has a beautiful creamy to pink color that is speckled throughout.

I used to have freckles but i had to take her out. It is a similar rose, but I think it needed cooler weather in the winter. She just would not thrive for me.
