Finally done tweaking pics

Geez... it's taken me months to get caught up with all the pics I've been taking. I have to adjust and tweak and reduce the sizes, etc. My Gimp program was sooooo slow for most of the last couple yrs. But my son updated my computer and reloaded a newer version that goes really fast now!! Yippee!!

Here's a sampling of pics from the last 2-3 months!

    Thanks for all the work Beth. My nemesis is now Photobucket. Slow.

    I have a friend lusting after 'Twilight Zone'. She's close to the beach with sandy soil. Wonder if it will perform for her? Sad your 2 died.

    Glad 'Swirling Orange' is hanging in for you. Mine has always been rather spindly but produces such great blooms. I may have rooted an unknown yellow! Next try is Swirling.

    'Malicorne' is tonight's pick. What a great deep shade of red. Love 'Julio' too. And the dual-centers 'Silverado' makes are nifty. 'Black Tea' always a favorite.

    Very lovely roses Beth. They are all so pretty, but I particularly like Mischief, Macho Man and Day Breaker. I always look forward to seeing your pics.

    Your Black Tea is such a beauty, reminds me of Rusty, will you tell me more about this rose growing in your garden? I am thinking about growing one in Costa Mesa, CA.
    Thank you for sharing your roses, what a wonderful collection!

    Thanks everybody! Sorry I've been so busy. No time for anything these days. Love your JULIO Carol!

    Seaweed, BLACK TEA is really cool. Mine has finally gotten pretty big after several yrs. It was a tiny own-root I got from Uncommon Roses yrs ago. The blooms have been nice and large and fairly plentiful this yr. I love the weird rusty coloring that changes to a sort of dusty mauve by the time it finishes up. And RUSTY is one of my very favorite roses! I looooove that one. It's more on the "rust" or brownish side. And I love that it's most often striped.

    Thanks for your precious info of your Black Tea, really admirable, sadly my Rusty did not survived several yrs later, due to bad soil around side yards, few roses planted there, none of them lasted. Now tomato plants are fine.
    I have Brown Velvet from Rogue Valley, will show you next from my laptop.
