I took a walk around the yard yesterday and took some pictures of the roses. Of course, all of them aren't blooming yet, but a few more than the picture I took of the first one. Hope you don't get tired before you get to the bottom. Dooley
a single rose
climbing rose and pyracantha on same arbor. The pyracantha is hanging over from the neighbor's yard. It's the smelly kind, yuck!
This is the same climbing rose that thinks it should go down instead of up.
this one and the next one are from front and back.Taken on two different days and times of day.
I'll put the pink ones in a new topic so it won't be too long here. Dooley

Those are all so pretty Dooley, I bet you really enjoy wandering thru the yard when they are in bloom. I really like the first picture and the last one, do you have them growing over something to create that open space in the center?

I didn't plant any of these roses. The one that is making the space is a climbing rose and it has no support. I have it tied together but the top falls against another rose bush. A large trellis is on my list but I guess not at the top. It does look nice falling over like that though. There is a white rose growing in the space but it hasn't bloomed yet. This is the first year it's had buds. I think because I tied the climbing rose together it has more light. Dooley

Wow, your roses sure do well in your area. Mine suffer too much winter dieback to ever get that big. Very nice!
