Very nice pics of your roses! They are lookin good in September!
Precious Platinum, Livin Easy, Outta the Blue, Double red Ko, Mister Lincoln, and two Sunrise at Heirlooms are blooming here in September.

Lovely blooms! This has been a really bad yr for me bloom-wise. Not a whole lot going on. I guess if I had time to go out and deadhead more, I'd have more blooms.

I did get a few pics on Friday of some of the roses blooming. These were the best ones:

ANNIE DAVIDSON - new one from Palatine
{{gwi:1279938}}

APRICOT - florist rose
{{gwi:1209375}}

PRIMA DONNA - another florist rose
{{gwi:1279939}}

TOM BROWN - one of my mother plants from Cliff

Here are a few photos I took this past week:

Alpine Sunset looks better in person

Sultry

Palmetto Sunrise looses all its red and orange in the late summer and it is like having two different minis.

Silver Star

St. Patrick which has 20 blooms on it right now.

Evelyn, who looks better in photos and is a disappointing rose for me. Edges brown in heat, very long canes have blooms only on the ends, very few flushes. Still . . . .

Beth, I love your Annie Davidson, I think that's the first time I've seen that rose!

Kathy, I live St. Patrick....It's been on my short-list for awhile, I need to just break down and buy it!

Looking beautiful, TNY! I like your odd Hannah Gordon! And what a gorgeous big bloom on Moonstone!

You've got lots of beauties too, Beth, but I love the color of that Annie Davidson!

Kathy, that Alpine Sunset looks very good in the picture too! Palmetto Sunrise sounds very interesting. I'll have to check it out.

Lovely blooms everybody.
St Pat is in beautiful form, Kathy.
Thanks for posting. More..more...

Ballerina, Franziska Kruger, Christian Dior--nice blooms, well photographed. Does Franziska tend to have a weak neck?

Second post--St. Patrick's Day can give some nice fall blooms.

Thanks Mantis, I just received Franziska Kruger about a month ago from Vintage Gardens, she hasn't even made it into the ground yet (I need to do that this weekend!), but she has three blooms currently, and yes, a weak neck on all three...but I still love her and her blooms are quite large already! The reason I chose her is because she is a tea rose that is hardy in my zone (6b) and its hard to find hardy teas that still look like teas to me..well she is suppossed to be hardy anyway..we'll see come spring! She is also suppossed to be disease resistant..lets all hope HMF is right :)
