Wordless Wednesday
A couple of weeks ago my husband and I and our dog went for a hike in the woods. I found these lovely flowers on a river bank, I think they might be Jewelweed, and as I gazed at the flowers I noticed that the bumble bees were hovering around the flowers.
I caught this one as it was coming in for a landing:
Here’s a shot of the bee in the flower. All you can see is it’s behind!
I love gardening and I love growing roses.
Each morning when I awake I wander to a window that overlooks my garden and I spend a moment savoring the view. Each day a new flower is blooming or somethings has grown or changed in my garden. It’s always a wonder to view.
One rose that I enjoy seeing in bloom is my Double Delight Hybrid Tea. Isn’t it just gorgeous?
I love how it’s petals contain shades of white to pink to deep rose. Oh and the scent of this rose – it’s lovely. Not too strong, just a pleasant rose smell.
Another rose that I enjoy is Souvenir de la mal Mason. It’s an antique rose and it has lovely small blooms, well small compared to the size of a hybrid teas blooms!
I can never seem to take a picture of this rose that does it justice though. It really is quite beautiful.
What’s your favorite rose or flower?

Last year my Love and Peace Hybrid Tea rose died and I replaced it with one of it’s relatives – Chicago Peace. I think Chicago Peace put out a few blooms last year and it’s been fairly sporadic this year, but when it does flower they are simply gorgeous:
I still think I liked the Love and Peace better as the flowers were so darn colorful, but Chicago Peace is growing on me with her large pink blooms.
Do you grow any Hybrid Tea roses? Maybe some of the Peace roses?

It looks like most of my roses are starting to bloom again or are in the process of getting ready to bloom, so my garden is looking quite nice these days.
This rose is called White Dawn and it produces lovely large white roses:
Another very pretty rose in my garden is the Hybrid Tea called Tiffany. This rose is having it’s best year ever in my garden. It’s produced a number of blooms and I believe it’s giving off more scent than it usually does this summer.
Isn’t Tiffany a lovely rose?
