Since, most our flowers, come from weeds, they are good to photograph too. :>)

Lovely blooms. Thanks.

They're all lovely but Peaceport really stood out for me since it's rather unusual but in a beautiful way. Swirling Orange is really pretty although it doesn't look orange, which is probably why I like it. The colors are subtle and harmonious.

I agree with Jean!! I really like your Abracadabra, Joshua Bradley and Showtime!!! Josh is a really nice looking rose!! Does it have fragrance?

Hallelujah! You have Swirling Orange at last!

Peaceport looks very promising. Like its color.

How does VIENNA CHARM do for you? I see it's a Kordes rose so should have good vase life??? Is color consistant?

Emma - yum.

Thanks everybody!

Inga, I think it's fun to take pics of the cool-looking weeds. And I agree... all our flowers were once weeds!!

Carol, I don't notice much fragrance on JOSHUA BRADLEY. But he's a beauty!!

Irisgal, VIENNA CHARM is a weird rose. I've had it for maybe 6-7yrs, and this is the best bloom I've ever seen on it. Actually, there was a second one that opened after this one that looked good too. But, unfortunately, they blow within a day. There are a lot fewer petals that you think on those blooms. It reminds me a lot of another rose I have that's not a very good one, and that's SIGNORA. They both have few petals and blow within a day. I'm going to s/p SIGNORA, but not VC. I like it better.

Beth, your roses are beautiful.. The Canada Thistle that you have is not, please pull and destroy or you will have them all over the place. Nasty, nasty weed, there isnt a part of the plant, except the roots, that does not have a very sharp prickle on it so be careful!! Kat

Thanks Debbie!

And Kat, I definitely will get that thing pulled out as soon as I get some time. Never had it in my yard anywhere else before. In that same bed tho, I have a nasty wild sweet pea that I just can't seem to keep out of there. I hate weeds!

Boy that Gerbera Daisy just jumps out at me. I want a colorfast rose just that color. Joshua Bradley is my favorite of the group, although I love the color of English Perfume too. Too bad about the Thistle being a noxious weed. The flower is real "purdy".
