First bloom

Rose Blooms

I wish I knew what rose this was, It's really gorgeous!

This rose bush came with the house, and has never really bloomed, either being eaten by bugs, or just not getting enough water to produce blooms. This year it got cut way back, and got an extra long winter and here is the result!

Roses starting to Bloom

The rose that came with the house in the front yard is getting ready to bloom. This is the best it's looked in the four years we've been here. It got cut back hard this year, and all the rain we've been getting must have been great for it.

Chicago Peace Rose

 

I've had this rose in a pot for a number if years,  A couple years ago it died back to just one branch, but it has come back strong this year after I got rid of all the rootstock shoots. This rose does not have a strong scent, but the coloring is goergeous, and it changes over the life of the bloom depending on how much sun it gets.  You can see the right side of this bloom gets more sun, so is more pink.

Secret Rose

This rose is called "Secret" I got it a few years ago from my mom's friend Roseanne. I've kept it in a pot, and moved it around with me from place to place, and so far it's done well. This was the first bloom this year.

Honor Rose

Today the Honor Rose bloomed - it also has a very nice fragrance and a beautiful pure white bloom.
