ROSES at last 2018

So, this is the Tree Rose I have always wanted. I bought it at Lowes in December, I've passed them by many times, until at long last a a really pretty bright ORANGE. My favs!!!

They look larger than they really are in the picture, but who cares, I just hope it survives ME...

 the blooms were drooping sadly after the big Storm this past Saturday, but seemed to be happy again, I did dead head the worse looking ones.

The other row is some I have moved to different spots, hoping this is the last move. They are looking fairly nice for this time of year. Forgive the grungy yard, too much rain and nasty lately.

could it be Orange??? almost???

Well a corally orange maybe, not bad for a Walmart find. I really need to get serious about an ORANGE ROSE. I saw some on ebay,,, kinda expensive i thought and no guarantee it will make it, although I have bought plants on ebay in the past.

I used to LOVE shopping at Huttos in the Ellis Ave area of Jackson,, my fav store years back, not so crazy about the area now, but they used to have plenty Roses to choose from.

AND WAY back in the day, it was a great place to shop for horse related items.

oh the garden tools they have, some a bit pricey though.

Roses again, spring 2017

before the storms,,, wonder if there are any roses left on the bushes after last nights major storm??

Glorious while they last, i really need to dead head and let the greenery grow a bit more. Is it my smeller, or do roses just not have much smell anymore. One of these might , the one i bought at the Raymond spring fair a few years back. I've moved them 3 or 4 times. I think i finally found the best spot for them.
