Roses
This is just a sample of the gorgeous blooms on the rose bushes at Steele Indian School Park that I featured yesterday. I don’t think I’ve seen so many stunning blooms all in one spot.
I didn't see an aphid in the lot. That is amazing. LOL
I used to grow roses but the aphids were a constant problem. Not wanting to use chemicals, I sent off for a million (it seems like) lady bugs whose main diet is aphids. I opened the box in the rose garden and the millions of lady bugs disappeared -- I guess to some other rose garden. LOL
What a lovely collage, Sharon! The colors are so varied - I can almost smell them! Glad you were able to get these photos before the heat destroys them...

"A rose is a rose is a rose." I wonder how many times you'll get this quote today. It's a beautiful collage and lifts my early-morning spirits!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how roses can be so different! Very nice collage, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful! Very nice collage.
ReplyDeleteWow! So many colors. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how this is possible, but I can actually smell them here in my apt in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteA rose is a rose and they're all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes. I bet the perfume along there is excellent. Cream roses are my favourite I think.
