After heat, storms, and cooler weather

July was really hot. Most of the 6 roses just sat and did nothing. August started a little cooler and then had a few storms. The storms are gone, temperatures have cooled down. Here is a couple of happy rose bushes.

Starting over

So it has been awhile since last post. After nearly two years of not posting, plus moving from a house to an apartment and back into a house here goes starting over. This time though it is in the Midwest and in zone 6 instead of zone 8. I brought 6 roses with me from Oregon to Missouri. We will see how they do.
Here's to starting over from Safrano:

A couple of found roses at night

A couple of roses from cuttings from around Salem. The pictures are at night because in the day they get washed out. The top two pictures are the same rose. It blooms throughout the summer when it has adequate water. It opens a whitish color with light pink on the edges.  The pink darkens and the flowers eventually age to a pink and whitish color.

The bottom picture is a different rose. This is only the second bloom that it has gotten. It is too young to say for sure but I believe that this would fit into a perpetual category. The super light pink color is there when otopens, and doesn't seem to fade or strengthen. The plant seems to want to grow more than flowee. If I remember right the mother plant, or the one the cutting came from, was in the 6 foot tall range.
