If you're getting tired of my roses, I totally understand!
But I really can't get enough of them, and I'll enjoy all of these photos next winter when the temps are dipping below zero.

The cabbage rose - Fantin-Latour. Considering I planted this just last year, I think all of these blooms are fantastic. Too bad it won't repeat bloom, but pretty cool just the same.
Isn't this a great shot of Hawkeye Belle? (or whatever it really is)
Hawkeye Belle fully open. This rose is in a raised bed by the patio/driveway. It might be showier if I had one of my brighter roses there, but I have dark purple siberian iris, yellow and coral daylilies and a gorgeous dark red hibiscus in the same garden, so there is plenty of color. The rose kind of blends with each thing as it blooms, so maybe a good choice.
This is the John Davis rose bush. The darker pink is William Baffin.

I ADORE the cabbage rose! Is its foliage as lush and healthy as it appears to my untrained eye? How cute.
Your rose sure are doing good. I bet it smells sooo good. I'm going to have to take a trip out side to see whats going on in my gardens today.
blackswamp_girl - the cabbage rose is amazing! Last year it sat in its little black plastic pot for most of the summer while I tried to figure out where I had room for it. It easily doubled in size during that time. This year it has tons of healthy new growth on it. It is indeed lush and healthy. I love it too!
laurie & chris - I think the roses are so cool - and the smell is heavenly!
I love the photos of the entire rose bush with all the blooms on it.
Thanks Trailhead - those two rose bushes just amaze me! I'm trying to decide if I'm going to deadhead Baffin or not - it's never done a repeat bloom for me, but I suppose this could be the year - lol!
