Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

More roses

Well, here it is, a non-holiday... for me at least.  Many have a 3 day weekend in the US... I don't.  My weekend begins tomorrow, and it isn't a holiday weekend, I only get 2 days off.  Oh, and then I get to work for another 6 days in a row... it's retail.
Here are a couple pics of the roses in front of the house.  One of my jobs tomorrow is to get rid of all the leaves with 'black spot' and spray them with Neem Oil.  I also need to get the weed wacker out... and possibly the chain saw.  Me and power tools?  Wonderful.


The yellow rose is a climber... with nothing to climb, so it spreads out and requires constant clipping.


 And I don't know where the red bush came from.  It just showed up around 4 years ago.  It has what are called antique or vintage blooms.
One of these days the Dahlias will start to bloom... that's right, I also have Dahlias.
And, of course, I've added something interesting to my layout

      I thought I'd give you a bit of a warning.

    Again, Carlos will be jealous of your roses. Gorgeous.

      I didn't plan on having so many roses, they just happened.

    Lovely!
    Roses are so very pretty! I see they also need pruning. I had no idea of the Neem oil?
    And I see you set up a ticker for the book! Woot woot!

      It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I may be penned up in the house.

    The red rose is probably 'root stock' from which the yellow rose was grafted. The root stock name is "Dr. Huey". (I use to grow antique roses aka, cemetery roses. I had around 150 roses.) BTW, I'm buying your book.

      I'm envious of the roses!

      Thanks for buying the book, I hope you like it.
