Summer roses






I have been waiting and waiting for the roses to come into full bloom... I believe this year this will not happen..  So I thought I would share a few blooms with you...  We need rain so badly, and with the water restrictions it is a challenge.. The bushes look so sad, leaves are sparse, and only about 1/4 of what I usually see this time of year...  I was out this morning dead heading the roses and had to come in... By 9am it was over 90, so this is going to be another hot one.

The rose at the top is my Mother of Pearl.  It is a pink rose, but now has changed colors.  Then there is my favorite English rose...  Ingenious Mr. Fairchild.. Last photo.

Wishing you all a beautiful week..  Thank you all so much for your visits and kind words this month.
blessings,
Penny
