Lara

Judy, we got all our named minis from Tiny Petals before they went out of business. Richard and Carol sold all the roses to NorEast. I have heard good things about how NorEast is handling the Dee Bennett rose collection.

Lara, that is Blue Girl. BG was the first mauve/lavender thang Deb brought home.

Your roses are just gorgeous, of course:) I'm so rose envious, I wouldn't trade my growing season, but this year I'm totally disgusted here, LOL* You and Deb have had a great season it looks like and your pics are awesome of everything. I'm glad you're feeling like sharing pics and I hope you're feeling better now too.

roseofsharon, LOL, I can understand your hubby's feelings. Deb still wants every mini she sees. She just loves the rascals :)

Leslie, I know... I'm being vewy, vewy bad again. If it makes you feel any better, we did get into the 100s here this year... one day in July and two days in August. Critters have been very bad this year. It has seemed a neverending job trying to stay ahead of them. Aphids and sawfly larvae were everywhere and much of the time in the yard was spent squishing them. Earwigs are having a banner year. Grasshoppers are the worst I have seen. It is still the best year ever for the roses.

is one I don't mention often though he has become a dandy little rose since I moved him out of the shadow of Gourmet Popcorn. Brian Lee is named after Sue's late son and I always hesitate to remind her of him if she may read the post.

Both Brian Lee and My Sunshine have had at least a few blooms on them every day since June. My Sunshine has done that before but this is the first year BL has.

I need to upload a bush pic of MS but that gives you a hint of what she is doing this year.
Ace of Diamonds is being its usual blooming fool self. I usually upload bush pics of it. Decided to upload a bloom pic for once....

One tough chore is deciding which Love ya Dad pics to upload.

LyD is the red with Sweet Arlene and X-Rated. The rascal is putting on a wonderful show this year. Every time I try to decide on pics to post..... I end up giving up and deciding to make up my mind later. So I've ended up with no new photos of LyD uploaded so far this year. Yantai is just out of the pic to the right. It is a pretty impressive group, if I do say so myself :)

Ace Of Diamonds is very beautiful and I really enjoy Love 'Ya Dad, I know you could probably find a pic or two to show off:)

Your roses are in fine form giving you a wonderful end of the season display, I hope you do have weeks more, a little cold doesn't hurt, look at how beautiful they are:) You grow tough roses, it takes more than a patch of frost to take them out for the year.

I'd forgotten to add grasshoppers to my litany of pests, I had some big ones too, I told Stan I flushed them out with the water nozzle on the hose. Then I bludgeoned them, whacked them to death, some were 3 & 4" big!! Now I'm down to the littler green and brown 1 & 2" and baby ones, still killing several a day, but the flush and crush works quite well for me:) I tried with the pruners to cut them in half, way too much juice, LOL*

Glad you're able to do some desk work and get out with the camera and get some new pics to keep you busy and out of trouble:) Take care and hey to Deb.
