| Here are some pictures from roses that have been blooming in my garden this month. Hope you like them!
Memorial Day. This rose is producing one perfect flower after the other. It has a very strong pleasing fragrance, too, and no disease problems at all in my yard. Highly recommended!
Rhodologue Jules Gravereaux 1. My favorite Tea rose. I love how the petals scroll back neatly.
Rhodologue Jules Gravereaux 2. A little bit more open and in a different light.
Pink Pet. Very floriferous.
Pretty Jessica. Also a very productive rose for me. Great scent.
Christopher Marlowe.
Bud of Bewitched.
Pretty Jessica, showing off her romantic side.
Pope John Paul II, has produced his biggest blooms so far this autumn.
Bud of Belinda's Dream.
Unidentified Rose, could be Sutter's Gold, though. The only yellow-orange rose that I have. It has been producing very big flowers for a cutting that just has recently rooted and the fragrance is wonderful.
Bewitched. Another Rose that is pumping out one perfectly formed flower after the other that come with a very strong fragrance. She mildewed a lot the first year, but is surprisingly clean now. Thanks for looking! Christina |

| As I look in our rose garden and see dead blooms and the nakedness they are started to take on. It is a real pleasure to see your roses and how great your blooms look into November! |

| Wow!! Those are spectacular roses. I'm torn between jealously (small part) and contentedness, drool factor and pure pleasure. You've made my birthday!!! I'm speechless. Carol |

| Nice pictures. I was curious about what Christopher Marlowe looked like. Thanks for posting. |
|
| Ooh la la! Thank you for more eye candy! |
|
| Christina, these pictures are superb! Really great photography and beautiful roses. My favorite pictures are of Pink Pet, Pretty Jessica and Christopher Marlowe. All your roses look absolutely perfect. Great job! Ingrid |

| Beautiful blooms! PRETTY JESSICA is gorgeous! I probably still have some blooms hanging on out there, but it's been raining the last few days, so I haven't even bothered to check. Thanks for brightening my evening!! |

| Thanks to all of you for your very nice comments! Jim, I really hear you. I am not looking forward to the time when even in Southern California we will have no roses at all anymore. I am glad my photos have been giving you some pleasure. Carol, happy Birthday!!! Here is one more picture just for you:
Our Lady of Guadalupe bustopher, Christopher Marlowe is a tremendously changeable rose, depending on the season, water, fertilizer etc. I wouldn't say that mine is a particular typical photo of this rose. If you go to HMF I am sure the photos of Christopher Marlowe there will give you a more accurate idea. iris_gal, I am happy that you seem to enjoy my pics! Ingrid, you are so generous with compliments. Thank you very much! I am glad that you liked my photos. Beth, Pretty Jessica is simply a very pretty rose and easy to photograph. Here it rained on the weekend, too, and I cut everything that was blooming for vases indoors. So not much left out there in my yard either. The rose season will come undeniable to an end soon.

| Carol, you are welcome! I hope that you had a wonderful birthday. Our Lady of Guadalupe is only slightly fragrant to my nose. I grow her more for her wonderful pink flowers with a silvery sheen. Wow, -40 C/-40 F, that is really cold! Krista, thanks for your nice comment! Christina |
