Pretty, Stinkysister!
We just have wild primrose and they have not blossomed. <G>
The smaller hollyhocks are starting to bloom. Then the tall ones and many different lillies and other smelly things. All the vegs and herbs are doing wonderful this season. I just hope that the woodchuck living in the herb bed doesn't eat my stuff.

sorry, Stinky, I can't show ya my roses, already smoked 'em ... seriously, though, a house I used to rent, was formerly occupied by an old man that grew roses professionally, for contest entries ... he died, and his legacy was the neatest rosebush I ever saw ... it had been grafted repeatedly, over many years, according to the landlord ... every branch was a different color and type of rose ... every color of the rainbow, and some obvious hybrids ... I'm not a rose fan, but that bush was bitchin' :thumbsup:

Shov- My feral Japanese primrose are in bloom as we speak. I just sorta threw them in the back yard and told my lawn jockey not to mow in that area... they look like crinkly spinach most of the year but are bearing hot-pink flowers at the moment.

Reaper- I hope someone is taking care of that rose. Sounds beautiful!

I used to have some blue moon roses. They are a lot lighter than that though, I've never seen a rose that dark before(last photo). Any info on name/breeder?

[stinkyattic]

stilkikin, it's Hot Cocoa... I am 99% sure it is a Weeks rose. I had been looking for it for AGES and finally found it at the local nursery last weekend!

I haven't seen blue moon but I picked up Rhapsody in Blue for my parents- it's a clear blue/purple with the scent and structure of a Rugosa, but not thorny like rugosas.

[stinkyattic]

I'm doing okay. Are your green roses 'Ice' by any chance, or are they moss roses? I've never grown any of those.

Stinky I'm sorry wrong name it's blue girl and it came from Gurneys Seed and Nursery company. I usually stick with hybrid teas or shrub roses.
