| I never promised you a rose garden Well, I was never promised one but I have a small one anyway. They are all booming! Don't ask me the names cause I didn't keep track.

| Those are gorgeous!! California has got it all over us in the mid-eastern states as far as growing seasons  I never cared much for roses, but your yard is something else!! Even without the names, you have done a wonderful job. Congratulations and thanks for sharing with those of us that are just starting Spring.

| Patlee, I know a friend that moved in to a new home and had her husband tear all the roses out of the yard. She can't deal with the thorns. Plus she hates any flowers with spots or patterns on it. Says it looks alive and scares her. So orchids are out. How she became my friend, I don't know. Thanks for the compliment. I do enjoy all plants. Orchid girl. Yes, I love all flowers really. The only thing with roses is I have scratch marks from the thorns all the time. It's a painful hobby. I would love to see your roses. One day I need to sneak over to a house in my neighborhood and take pictures of the roses they have. It's amazing! I mean tons and tons of them filling up her front yard. They look perfect. No faded ones or spotted leaves. Wonder what the secret is. Mine is always battling powdery mildew, black spot, and rust. How about you? Any problems?

| Beautiful! I think the red with the cream is Double Delight. I have a couple roses in the back yard, but no blooms yet, our weather is kind of weird. It is still not spring yet. I just got some dahlia bulbs and will have to wait a bit before planting them. I bet the fragrance in your yard is wonderful!

| You're right April. It is Double Delight and it smells so goooood! I also have Sterling which is a lavender colored done that smells especially good too. I have 25 names and the rest I don't know. I just wrote the names down and now I don't know which is which. It's kinda hard to label rose bushes.

| It was nice to see your roses, they are almost impossible to grow in SW Florida. At best the plants are scraggly and flowers last only one day. I photographed this rose bud as it opened at 10AM and it was dead by 4 PM.

| I have the black spot problem with the leaves easpecially on my orange color one. It seems it always gets attacked first. Aphids always attack at the first of the blooming season...then I get out my seven-dust. I haven't had any problems with the powdery mildew.
