| First, the whine. I am cold. I live in California's Central Valley where we have a very long growing season and HOT weather.
Today, I put on a winter jacket, scarf, and hood to go out into the garden. It is so cold and windy, I am here at the computer and not enjoying the roses outside. I did this by retiring in mid-March so I could enjoy the spring--hah! Roses don't care, though. Here are some reds I love, Ingrid Bergman is a red I would recommend.
Dublin Bay is quite heat resistant in summer. In spring, the blooms are bigger and fuller. It is perfect for a tripod.

| Ingrid looks like the classic red rose--very elegant. I don't have any reds (yet), but photos like these are capturing my heart. I like those large,wide blooms on Dublin Bay. It really does look great on the tripod. |

| Very nice Kathy! Your rose pics look great and love the dog pic! |
|
| OMG Kathy! LOL... I was thinking the same thing. I'm freezing, it's windy, I would love to be outside, but just can't bring myself to go out there. It was 35 degrees out when I left for work at 6:45 this morning. My roses still aren't really opening up yet, but the irises are slowly popping out. This is by-far the weirdest spring I've ever seen since we came back to CA 22yrs ago. So, here I sit at the computer again, not getting anything done, because I'm sooo depressed!! Thanks for the pick-me-up of beautiful red roses!! And your dog is adorable. |

| I love your tripods. What a perfect way to grow a rose on a fence. I'm copying. I wish I could copy you and retire! Renee |

| No cold weather whining from me :>) I'm just happy to have some sunshine again, but happy you are retired, congrats. Hope it means more of those lovely photos of your roses? |

| If only my Ingrid had looked like that! |

| My friend has Ingrid and she is an excellent performer. But I'm still a diehard Mr. Lincoln fan. Too bad he doesn't perform like she does. |

| Love that Ingrid Bergman. I thought that IB had no scent. If it does have good scent that's one rose I would get. LIke irisgal said, I've heard IB is an excellent producer of flowers!! Thank you so much!!! Carol |
