| It's been 100+ for three days, with 17-22% humidity. Here's one of my HTs that is looking good through it all. Gold Medal is a California-bred rose, which is one reason why I got it. So far it's loving the heat. Sylvia |

| And here's Granada, one of my top roses this year. I just love the color combos. This one is in a container, needs to go in the ground soon (when it is cool enough to dig w/o incurring heatstroke), and was moved last weekend from a shadier to a sunnier spot. The bloom is undersized, and this photo is blurry, but good heavens -- it is a beautiful thing. Sylvia |

| Lucky you! Maybe yellow roses are better in the heat than other colors. Yes, the heat has just been brutal. Let's hope it's a blip and we'll have a cooling period between now and end of June. |

| I wondered the same thing about yellow roses doing better in heat. Does anybody know? Thanks, Sylvia |

| Yeppers, the yellows tend to be the heat lovers...at least that's been my experience in growing roses. :-) |

| Despite the ferocious heat, this one hasn't dropped a single petal.
Unfortunately. ;^) |
