I went home at lunch today because I realized I forgot my checkbook.
I need to know if I had just forgotten it or really lost it. It was where
I thought it would be. [whew!]
The weather was beautiful so, after fixing myself a sandwich, I grabbed
a chair off the back deck and had lunch sitting in the rose garden. A number
of the bushes are blooming and it was grand to be among them. Here are the
ones I remember as being in bloom right now:
| Rembrant (Portland) | Glowing Peace (HT) |
| French Lace (Floribunda) | Europeana (Floribunda) |
| CenterGold (Mini) | Iceberg (Floribunda) |
| SunnyDew (Mini) | Austrian Copper (species) |
| Rose de Rescht (Portland) | Souvenir de la Malmaison (Bourbon) |
| Artistry (HT) | Kingaroy (HT) |
| Scentimental (Floribunda) | Kingaroy (HT) |
and the following have lots of buds on them that should be opening soon,
I hope before the weekend so I can take some of them down to New Bern for
the rose show this weekend:
- Rosa Mundi (Gallica)
- Madame Hardy (Damask)
- Peace (HT)
- Orange Garnet (?)
- Queen Elizabeth (Grandaflora)
- The Fairy (Polyantha)
- White Pet (Polyantha)
- Dolly Parton (HT)
- Kitty Hawk (Mini)
- Francis Dubreuil (Tea)
Well, enough for now….
