[Note: All Roses shown here, and many more, were blooming in Memphis during The Fling. Most are horticultural hybrids. The last, I believe, is the straight species Swamp Rose (Rosa palustris), native to much of the Eastern United States.]

    1. Hi Tina: You are so kind. They were all so lovely, and it was wonderful to see so many of them in bud and at peak bloom. Can't get enough of them. :)

    1. They were wonderful! It seemed like all the Memphis gardens had lovely, lush, full, and healthy Roses. It seems to be a good year for Roses here at home, too, with plenty of precipitation and a mix of clouds and sunshine.

    1. I'll bet you're right about that multicolored one with the side view. I can't pick a favorite, but that one is beautiful. Thanks, and the Fling was wonderful!
