Roses from Pioneer Cemetery
This Pioneer Cemetery is located in Salem, Oregon. It seems that most of the maintenance that is done there is mowing grass and maintaining the main roadways for most of the cemetery. The pictures were taken mostly in the spring and fall times. You can see the video here:

November walk around 2022
Since I did a rose garden tour in 2021 I thought it would be neat to see it a year later. However this time it has been considerably cooler, and this was right after a wet, but small amount of snow, whereas last year it was 20-30 degrees warmer. You can see the video here:

Rose hips and seeds, so now what?
Your roses have gone to hips. So what do you do now. You can always leave them on for winter interest, or see what may happen if you harvest the hips and plant the seeds. You can see the video here:
A picture of my rose seedling last summer before the heat fried it. The bottom set is the cotyledon and the next set starts the photosynthesis process.

Disappearing roses
Through out time there are new roses that get introduced, and older roses seem to disappear. In the last half of the 1900's there was a group that did a lot of work towards bring back the old garden roses, and also there has been interest in older roses as well. Still the new roses seem to continue to replace the old roses. There have been several posts through out social media and other online places mentioning that now there are roses that are wanted, but are no longer for commercial sale. Unfortunately it seems that once a rose is gone from commerce it is hard to get it back and for some they disappear forever. You can see the video here:
There are things that you can do to help prevent roses disappearing. Some of them are:
> Contact nurseries and see if you can send cuttings of non patented roses to them.
> Due to transportation laws, insects, and diseases, this is best done locally, but join a rose group and pass around rose cuttings in you r local area.
> Start cuttings and sell them in a garage sale.
Here is the link that I referred to in the video:

A rose that if, we aren't proactive could disappear in the future

Early September rose garden tour
As the weather starts to, hopefully, cool down, the roses keep going on. In my garden I get a miniature spring like flush, where it isn't as many blooming but those that were kind of sleeping during the heat are waking back up with the cooler weather. This video takes you through the reawakening of the roses. You can see the video here:

Hunting for roses
Sometimes one reads about a rose, or sees a picture of a rose that intrigues them. They then go to the local nursery and can't find it. They might go to online nurseries and not be able to find it there either. Something that they can do is to find groups and ask if someone is growing it, if they know the name.
So what happens if one runs across a rose in real life where there isn't a name tag, or someone to ask? Well they can still find groups, such as rose societies or go online to find groups and try to identify that way. Sometimes the rose can be planted alongside a road or in a cemetery. Sometimes the way to get information on roses that may be close to the mystery rose is finding old rose books or catalogs, either in the library or online; or if lucky in a garage sale/flea market.
Sometimes though, digging into old rose books and catalogs can cause one to wish for or seek out for roses as well.
The roses in this video are some of those that I found predominately in cemeteries, but also along the road and in a park. You can see the video here:

Stopping to "smell the roses
So you can't technically smell the roses. Here is a little video of roses to remind you to slow down and appreciate roses for themselves. Lately, I have seen many posts on social media with people worrying about diseases, water, heat, etc. Sometimes it is good to just stop and smell the roses and not worry about how they grow to enjoy them. You can smell the roses here:

Spotlight on Evelyn (Spotlight on Roses series #9)
My thoughts on Evelyn, a David Austin rose. It is in the apricot color spectrum, but I find it less apricot than Abraham Darby. Evelyn is a pretty popular rose, and I have only had mine since September. You can see the video of Evelyn here:

This may be a subject for a video in the future
