Some more stuff is finally starting to bloom. :3 My plants are still babies, but they're doing a bangup job I think for just being planted last year.

Dragon's blood. The first bloom was from yesterday, then I walk out today and find that spray of three perfect flowers. This bush is going to be stunning when it matures.

Dick Clark, just starting to bloom

St. Swithun. Still hasn't quite finished blooming fully, but getting there. I'm so angry, a stray dog got into this plant, broke one cane, and crunched another badly enough that I had to stake it up and hope it'll heal. I have the worst luck when it comes to random chance ruining my yard.

Zephirine Drouhin, just popping out blooms everywhere.

They are all lovely, but that Dragon's Blood is sensational--I love it. Do show us more pics of it in the future.

You've done a bang up job for your first year roses. Just wait until they mature!

I love the dramatic coloring of Dragon's Blood--what a winner. Yes, more pics of it would be welcome. The delicate beauty of St Swithun is breathtaking. I'm sorry it suffered some damage. Rose damage happens to every rose lover (last week wind broke off a half dozen new canes on my Evelyns). I guess it's the price we pay for the perfection in beauty we do get from our roses. Thanks for posting your pics. Diane

Wow!! I love your last picture!! I love that color of pink!

Too bad about the dog damage. But your rose bush will bounce back - you'll barely notice it in awhile - I'm sure. :)

Thanks guys. And the bush seems to be recovering fairly well from that dog - it isn't wilting or anything, so, yay!

So some more...

Snowfire; despite bad reviews on HMF, I haven't had a single problem with this rose since I planted it. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Dragon's Blood again - the heat is making this spray a little brighter

Hot Cocoa

Scentimental

St. Swithun, again. The brown edges aren't too bad.

They're all gorgeous, Lothlin, but that Dragon's Blood is amazing!
