A different perspective!

| It seems like as the rose season winds down and into the winter months I start seeing my roses from a totally different perspective. During the time when the roses are bursting with blooms I am a lot more particular about how they look, but when they're not blooming as much, I mainly just wish they would bloom! I take lots of pictures of my roses, as I'm sure some of you have noticed, so I can look back at what they looked like. One example is my Dublin Bay climber. It had blooms from top to bottom, but I wasn't very happy with the way it looked, thought it was kind of tacky. Now when I look at the picture of what it looked like in May, I think to myself, that didn't look so bad after all! |

| I know what you mean but wait until January. That picture of Dublin Bay will go from tacky to not so bad to FABULOUS, lol! I'm looking at mine right now just hoping that the weather holds just a little longer so that some of the buds that are forming now I will get to see open. Probably just a dream though... |

| I can't imagine your roses looking tacky lol but I totally understand what you mean. My roses that were full and lush in the spring are pitiful looking right now due to the heat, I hope the cooler weather this weekend will perk them up. |

| We're suppose to be 70's/50's next 10 days. That should make huge beautiful, perky roses for enjoyment and pictures! I am hoping for another month of good roses and then 2 weeks of "it's a rose still blooming." So with whatever rose growing time that is left, let's take a bunch of pictures for sharing this winter! |

| I was just telling my hubby my roses have never looked so good this time of year. Granted they don't look as good as they did in the spring but usually half mine by now are completely defoliated. Boooooo! I've fertilized more and kept them watered better this yr so maybe that's helped. I agree with boncrow and could never imagine your roses looking tacky!! They always look so beautiful and healthy!! I've already received 2 small orders and really don't need more. Lol. Noooooo room!! Judy |

| Seil - I always enjoy your sense of humor. Boncrow and Judy, yes my roses do look tacky sometimes! I do appreciate the kind words. Kentucky_rose sounds like you've had some great weather for roses! Our weather is just now beginning to be more fall like. I do hope I'll have some pretty fall blooms. A few of my roses are setting on buds. If I have the blooms I'll definitely take pictures! |
