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!

You turkey! That's exactly how I wound up with "Pam's Surprise"! :lol: :thumbsup: :lol:
You guys are good. lol At least predictable. I love it.
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.
Your roses as usual are really beautiful! Well done~!
