You know those Buds 'I picked them all' plus others

Here in Brissie we have had rain the last two nights, isn't that fantastic !!!!!
Got 44mm last night so on inspecting my Roses this morning I was surprised to see that I still had some.
So I picked a few and some were the buds from two days ago they were still blooming which is unusual
As a lot of my roses are here today and gone tomorrow, so a lovely surprise for me......

Dont you think these Camp David Roses looks good with a few drops of rain on them , very refreshed:

Yes those drops of rain certainly make a difference on this Lovely Lady also.

Joy of Life is enjoying the rain too:

These D.A. Mary Rose are enjoying the cooler weather as well:

I popped a couple of Seduction and Brass Band into a Vinegar bottle together,
It has a thin neck so they sit well or perhaps I should say stand well:

And that left these Pinks and Reds. Mary Rose, Seduction, and Camp David:

I left Lovely Lady and Joy of Life on the plants I have got to have some roses left to look at
when I am in the Garden.................Cheers..MM.

What is is about pink roses.
I have more pink here than other colours but now I have Lovely Lady and SEduction on the wish list.
Your roses with the rain drops on them are beautiful.

Hi MM
just lovely.
I have Lovely Lady as well and I cant believe the perfume and the length of time the blooms have on the plant.
I have it as a standard and it is stunning.
I put on the patio so I see it all the time.
It was one my best choices when buying roses.
I love the clarity of the photos,
cheers
Michelle

Hi Michelle yes Lovely Lady is a beautiful Rose mine is a Standard also.
I like the long stems, great for vases, mind you I have one branch with seven buds on it.
I wish the buds would open just a bit more so I can cut the seven off at once.
You like perfume, that Camp David will blow you away.

Thanks YQ no there is nothing better than raindrops on roses.

Yes they certainly brighten the house up Sandi and Thanks I am still learning only had the camera 2 months.

Hi GC got that new camera of yours working I looking forward to seeing some of yours roses

Marion I have more pink than any other colour too maybe its a girl thing....Cheers..MM.
