Daybreak and Violet Hood
Our first real taste of summer heat and humidity arrived a couple of days ago, following a cool day of rain and a line of storms. The rain loosened the soil enough for me to get out for the past two mornings and make progress in the war on weeds in the rose field. I go outside at about 7am, work for a couple of hours or so, then come inside to the air conditioning to get things done inside the house. I imagine this will be my consistent summer routine.
While I'm outside working, I'm surrounded by the summer roses ... and it makes me happy. Freeing the roses from the grips of their weedy captivity makes me even happier.

Hi Connie! I will be outside tomorrow morning at 6 am. Gardens are full of weeds, but it's one of my happiest chores, I call it my therapy, and I need it alot these days! Stay cool! :) donna
I don't do Facebook, but I think Buff Beauty is my favorite of these.
It's already too hot for me, I'm a wimp.
I had to start doing Facebook years ago, when I was helping plan one of my high school reunions. It is incredibly useful for finding old friends and keeping up with distant relatives.
I like FB for nursery stuff because I can post one notice or photo, and folks can choose whether or not to look at what I'm posting.
Amazing colors and blooms! Flowers always make us happy!
I'm in love with Buff Beauty. I generally like a red rose, but Buff is perfect in every way.
Lovely pictures! Is Indigo a good rose for you?
Feels great to see those weeds dying doesn't it. ....this heat will help. Now where's my round up.
Gorgeous roses btw.

To answer your question, Indigo is really good for me. Its growth habit is a bit like Apothecary's Rose, staying fairly short and suckering with wild abandon. Indigo reblooms really well, and I love the way the violet color tends to blue as the flowers age.
Can you hear my repeated gasps?
One more beautiful than the next and I'm guessing as good for my garden as for yours?
I see a road trip in the future.

I love that Henry Kelsey one and Mrs. Wakefield Christie-Miller!
I have one trellis rose I ordered from the Thomas Jefferson Monticello store a few years ago. I'm trying to locate the tag because I don't remember it's name!
The Beautiful Roses of June! Thanks for all the lovely photos! hugs, Linda
oooh, I love the Perle....
And we've got the heat and humidity, no line of rain storms, but we need them!
Surrounded by these beauties, it would be hard to call it work.
Can I just live surrounded by every rose in existence??
Every one of them is FABulous!

Ooooo! I have to say that Buff Beauty is my favorite of the collection you've featured. There's something about its color and bloom structure that I really love.
I have to do my weeding in snippets too, except mine are in the evening before the sun goes down because early morning would be in full sun and too hot for me.
