This past week's blooms

9 years ago

Been awfully hot lately. I've lost a handful of roses, some I can't replace, and it's frustrating. But I guess I just have to enjoy the ones that are hanging in there thru this heat wave and drought.

Here are some of the blooms from this past week or so...

This is a J&P Test Rose from a couple seasons ago.

Love the "gentle" colouring on the J&P Test Rose.
My faves are the orange and coral colours, but love all the other too
Nice show.

Beth, all your roses are beautiful. I love the rich colors of REMBRANDT VAN RYN, but I can find very little information on this rose. FRECKLE FACE is cute and aptly named.

Thanks everyone.

REMBRANDT VAN RYN is one of JB Williams' shrub roses from his Masterpiece series of striped roses. It grow very much shrub-like, sprawling all over the place and the blooms are in big long-lasting clusters. Another of his roses that's very similar is THE NIGHTWATCH, which is more on the crimson-plum and white color range. I have several other of his striped roses, and I just love them all!
