Wordless Wednesday: Rosebud
Wednesday June 11, 2008
I love this pretty, coral-pink rose in my side yard. I don't know what variety it is. It was one of those bargain rosebushes at my local hardware store. This is my favorite phase, though, just before the buds open. This is also the fun part of the rose season, too, when the roses and foliage look healthy, and I haven't had to start battling black spot yet!
Check out the Wordless Wednesday site for links to more great photos!
That rose looks like it smells so lovely!
Hi Jessica!
Yes, it smells just as pretty as it looks! Thanks for stopping by!
I love roses! I have 2 HUGE fuschia-red knockout rose bushes, and I love watching them open up in the spring. Great picture!
That rose is such a beautiful color.
I wish I could get roses to do so well. But then again, since my sister has moved in with me, it’s probably just as well — she adores them is is *really* allergic to them. If I had them in our yard, we’d have to bring them in…sweet summer misery.
As a landscaper’s daughter, I’m a big fan of flowers — and always have been. We also have a rose garden with similar coral roses. We also have red, white, pink, and a few two-tone varieties in our garden. This is a great time of year.
I love roses – I will be reading up on how to grow them organically – keeping those pesky bugs at bay is always a challenge! Kate
I really like roses. They are one of the tough plants that survives winter here and flourishes during summer. Don’t have any black spots, but the aphids require chemical warfare.
@Stan—
No chemical warfare!!! Try spraying them off with water, or try making one of my organic, homemade aphid sprays.
Really exquisite! We have similar color roses right outside our front door blooming on a huge overgrown rosebush. the blossoms are enormous.
Roses must be on people’s minds this week. I just did a blog post about Rose Essential oil…and one other Guide did a Rose themed pic for WW too.
Gorgeous photo!
