Blooms before the rain came

10 years ago

We got a nice little rainstorm that started Friday night and quit last night sometime. Saves me watering for at least 3 days! Maybe more if it doesn't get back to the high temps. Fall is definitely here.

These are some pics I took Friday afternoon before it started to rain:

Whew, I almost missed this post. Lovely photos.
I love the shape of WANGUAFONG .
MONSIEUR TILLIER looks a little unusual.

Yep, sure enough it's been raining here. :p

The dramatic coloration of THE NIGHTWATCH is my favorite of this bunch of your photos.

Looking forward to your after the rain pictures. The free nitrogen from the rain often does the roses much good! :)

Beth - Some more really beautiful roses. Really like the color of Flora Danica, they're all lovely.

Wow Beth. Again with the gorgeous pics. PEDRUS AQUARIUS looks wonderful -- my kind of pale.

Flora Danica always attracts me. Captivating shot of A Whiter Shade of Pale. They melt my heart.

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Wang...
Looks so stuffed - and I didn't know it was striped!

I really like Silver Shadows - the darkness of the center contrasting with the white of the petals - very dramatic!!!

The Nightwatch is so dramatic - hard to look away.

They're all lovely - thanks!!
