More roses--not for the faint-hearted

I always take my photos in full sun, usually late morning. Here are a few more photos of my hot-colored blooming roses:

Marilyn Monroe and mini Gizmo

Joshua Bradley's back! Not a vigorous bloomer or grower, I find the color unique. Thanks to G-Webber, Dan, in southern Cal who got this rose for me.

Symphony, an Austin I really love,

More Vavoom,

Even more Outrageous,

Grocery mini, Concertino Tequila,

An hibiscus that I winter over on the front porch,

Priscilla Burton, newly rooted and in a pot,

Daylily, Valentine Darling, always a perfect opener, new to me this year,

Brace yourself! If you've come this far, you may regret it.

I love spiders - but then we don't get poisonous ones that I know of. Quite the spider!!! :) It's really cool how it's hanging on by a toenail!! LOL

I love your Joshua Bradley - my goodness - the colors!!

I also really like your Vavoom and Symphony. My Vavoom has tons of color attitude, but doesn't get as big as yours seems to be. Maybe 3 1/2 inches.

Wow - such beauty!!!

All your photos of the blooms are fabulous, but the photo of the spider is spectacular.

Your roses are lovely, but my heart goes out to the orange Hibiscus. Couldn't find one locally last year and was so happy I finally did this year. Love the orange color going into fall. Yours is really pretty....I think your spider is worthy of Rubius Hagrid's admiration-LOL.....Maryl
