Title: Run in the Rain
Post by: gjtoth on August 05, 2010, 11:08:29 AM
I thought I'd take advantage of the cooler temps and took a run out in between storms to snag these with the ZS-3.  Surprisingly, all my roses survived the late-in-the-season transplant!

Cooler temps? Did someone say cooler temps??? :)
Good shots Gary. What's the name of the 4th one? I think that's a new one for me.

Thanks, Jim.  The fourth one is one of those mystery roses I got from Walmart.  The label had long since disappeared when I got it for $2-3 so I named it for my wife - Marvelous Marcia.  Tell ME I don't know how to suck up!

Oh, and I forgot to say....I love the rose pictures too.   I can't seem to grow roses, maybe because we have so much wind here, but I sure like to look at them.

Yes, predictable is most likely more descriptive I'm sure.  ;D

You're right. Roses don't care for wind as a rule. I don't do a real good job with them but love trying. Gary seems to do well with his. Have you considered some of the ground cover roses? They may be a little more tolerant of windy conditions. It seems a shame for one not to have a couple of roses in the garden.

The soft yellow roses remind me of my childhood home in Wethersfield Connecticut.  My mother had those roses, the yellow cream colored ones with a touch of pale pink.  I loved them!  She said they were peace roses.  I don't know if that was their true name or just what she thought they were named.  I just know I've not seen them around in Texas.  Your roses are beautiful.
