| Summer is pretty much coming to an end here, so it is time to enjoy last blooms of the season. :)
Madame Cécile Brunner
Perle d'Or
Gloire de Dijon - my big favorite
Phyllis Bide
Crépuscule
Nahema
Nahema's petals
Cornelia (?) has some plans for the next week
Felicia - almost missed her blooming since the butterfly bush is hanging above her.
Jude the Obscure
A bit misshapen Baron Girod de l'Ain
Geoff Hamilton
Our Molly
Euphoria
Suntan - quite funky mini
Unknown pink mini - whatever she is, she blooms a lot
Bonita - one of Paulsen's Renaissance roses, very bright to the eye, but also very healthy.
Golden Showers - brightens my kitchen, since he grows near the window.
But it is autumn, no mistake there... and autumn plants are taking over the show...

| Thank you, I wish the weather was as delightful here, it feels more like November than September with all the rain and wind we are getting lately. |

| so gorgeous. We have a lot of the same roses, I hope mine are as pretty eventually! My favorite photos are the rose petal ones and the berries, though. :) |

| Elemire- Your pictures are gorgeous. Would you say Nahema and Geoff Hamilton lean more to the cool or warm side? Also, I think Gloire de dijon and Jude are beutiful. I don't have these colors in my garden at all. Can you tell me what you plant around them? Thanks, |

| Aimee, yes indeed we have quite a few of the same ones, mine will go dormant in a month or so though. :) I also like the berries at this time of the year, blue grapes can be so decorative, as well as blackberries, pyracantha (the red ones with clematis) and cotoneaster stay well into the winter, until birds eat them somewhere in January. I have a few hollies growing, which should be a nice addition to the winter garden in a couple of years (that's me being cheap and buying just rooted cuttings lol). Kitty, Nahema is clear baby pink - I think that describes its color the best really - rather warm and shining texture of the bloom. She copes with the rainy weather also very well, does not ball at all, also has quite strong old rose like fragrance. So far I am really happy with her, healthy, not overly vigorous and stays in vase reasonably long. Geoff Hamilton however is somewhat meh... This pic was made that day when he just opened and looked ok, after that he fades to whitish violetish pink and tends to brown rather quickly. In the warmer and dryer climate he might do better, then again, it might be not the rain at all, but rather the general ugly aging of the blossom. With my orangy/peach roses I tried to plant white and yellow companions this year, but it looked a bit bleak, I think mixing them with deep/light violet works tad better. I also mix them with some red bloomers, blue can work well too. Some penstemons, monardas, phlox, campanulas, thistles, siberian iris, asters often come in those shades. For orangy climbers also mixes with clematis work great, since there is wide choice in blues and violets among clematis. :) |

| Lovely roses---- Florence |
|
| Elemire, Thank you so much for your detailed descriptions. I looked up Nahema and was happy to see Heritage as a parent. I have 2 baby Heritage roses that I haven't seen bloom yet. I hope they perform as well as your Nahema has for you. |

| Felicia is one of my favorite hybrid musks, love the fragrance. Autumn is a special time of year. I like the berry pics. |
