Just minis

Kathy asked me to post some more of my photos so are a handful:

Dr John Dickman -- now in its 2nd season and throwing out some deep lavender beauties:

Demitasse -- a lesser known mini that J&P used to offer. Its like a miniature OGR and fragrant as well.

Simon Robinson -- a single-petaled mini from England. Super healthy and cheerful little rose
{{gwi:1229099}}

Hot Tamale -- shimmering in the strong Spring sun

More to come,
Danty

That first rose is amazing! The others are great, too, but Dr. John is my favorite!

Hosenemesis: yes, Demitasse is a great name, isn't it?

Kathy: I almost tossed Dr. John last year, it was such a weak-stemmed thing.
But I held to Ralph Moore's adage that a rose has three years to develop: the first year it sleeps, the 2nd it creeps and the 3rd it leaps.
Now in its second year Dr. John is creeping.
Next year is gonna be something to look forward to.

Sharon: Thanks for the admiring words. We have traded messages on HMF. I still would like to trade cuttings with you this June. I will send you PM on HMF in June.
