| Couple of first flush blooms.
We got hit with a heat wave that turned normally pink blush Gemini almost crimson:
This Moonstone is growing great and I almost dug it up!
And because you can't get too much of a good thing, my work desk:
Looks like it is going to be a good summer! Dave |

| Great pictures, Dave! Don't you just love the way you get your money's worth from Gemini? She can look like about 5 different roses throughout a midwestern summer. |
|
| Wow, I've never seen mine look like that. I think it's in too shady of a spot maybe. |

| Beautiful roses!!! I especially like Moonstone. Gemini sure seems like an interresting rose. It's beautiful how the red defines the petals. Thanks for sharing. |

| Flaura, you are absolutely right about Gemini having different looks - instead of Gemini (The Twins), should have been named Qunituplets! I added some picts from last year (June 8) that show a more mellow version. Beth, both of these are in about 8 hours direct sun. I also use alfalfa and AlgoFlash. I highly recommend both!

| This message is to correct the spelling of Quintuplets in that last post and to add information that the two new photos are of Gemini! |

| My Gemini looks just like your top photo. What a shock it was since I'd only seen the more pastel photos. (hummingbird pictures are superb) |
