Wow! Your garden is just gorgeous and that pool looks so welcoming :D

What type of camera do you use? That Firefighter is the best true red I have seen. (Also the rest of your garden is great.--Ron

Hi Ron, I use Nikon D80 and 50 mm lense. Firefighter is a great red, the bush isn't very nice though.

I think my fav is Yolande.

I'm so impressed by the size of your bushes and the quantity of bloom.

Outstanding!!

Aww thanks Carol! I have slowed down a lot since my 3 yr old and a 1 yrd GSD pup keeps me busy. But I try to always have time for my beloved roses. :)

Nice shots, msjam, I love all your roses. Your picture of Angel Face reminds me that I should try that one again. I once grew that long ago and forget its fragrance. Among your 3 mauve roses: Angel Face, Melody Perfume, and Heirloom - which ones smell best? Someone commented in HMF that Heirloom smells like bug spray - that stopped me from buying the $8 Heirloom in a pot at Walmart. I don't know if own-room Heirloom smells better than the grafted on Dr. Huey at Walmart?

I have Mary Magdalene and LOVE HER! Her myrrh scent is refined that its coziness floats into the window at night. Totally magical! Her leaves are dark green, doesn't turn chlorotic in my alkaline soil, and she is so compact. The animals don't eat her in the spring either.

Wow! Your Roses are beautiful. I am new to roses and will be planting my first ones in the next few weeks. Your garden is giving me great inspiration.

They're all gorgeous, msjam! You have an incredible garden!

I really did enjoy your photos. Lovely garden, pretty roses and great pictures too.

OOOOOOOO- So GORGEOUS! I love everything, roses and garden. Like the Best Sunset of colors!

What a wonderful garden, msjam! It was a great tour. You are far ahead of me. You have some of my favorite roses and the colors are spectacular.

Thank You all~ I am glad you enjoyed the photos. :)

Here's some more from this weekend. :)

Wow!! How absolutely beautiful your garden is!!! I enjoyed my tour so much.I`d love to know what you feed your roses too! They are so lush and full of blooms. They must be very happy and well cared for. I sure hope you will continue to share your garden with us. Job well done!!! Lesley

Absolutely gorgeous and stunning both the garden and the rose colors. They really glow off the page!

Thank you all!

Lesley, I feed Rosetone and alfalfa tea. :)

Just beautiful, msjam. Just beautiful! Bright, vibrant beauty!

Yes, maturity does make quite a difference in terms of lush growth and vigorous blooming, doesn't it.

WOW---Your gardens are amazing---that is one of the nicest pictures of Tiffany I've ever seen----

Florence

Gorgeous blossoms, but I am particularly blown away by the beautiful, clean, healthy foliage!!

msjam was my enabler for getting Mary Magdalene. Nice to see all the "ocean side" roses doing well.

Thank you for sharing your photos, just beautiful.
It also shows you can grow beautiful roses in Texas.
