I bought this rose last year. It was about 1½ - 2 ft. During the season, it grew to over 6 ft. And not one bloom!
This is a pink rose I found in my mom's garden. She has many flowers that bloom all spring and summer. It was just wonderful to catch this pretty flower in bloom.
I bought this rose bush for $2 and planted it behind my shed because I thought it probably might not make it. Of course it is one of the prettiest ones I have!
I just bought this rose bush and this is my first rose. Isn't it beautiful?
This is my first full year for a Double Knockout Rose. I have enjoyed it so much.
Here in Davis, CA the roses are now past their prime. I caught a shot of this beautiful rose right outside my door. It is a climbing variety and I have never seen anything like it. It seemed to be 3 roses in one; just spectacular.
I was just strolling along the street to breath fresh air and want to spent myself alone and my eyes caught at this beautiful pink roses behind a garage of a Swedish family.

I've learned that the same rose bush can produce quite dissimilar roses. I have a bush named 'Playboy'. It produces roses so unlike each other, one would think they were from different bushes. Even the petal count is affected. This 'single' rose is sometimes semi double.
I did an article on the advantages of using early morning light when photographing your garden. There is also a brief period of time just before dusk when there are the same advantages. Get out your camera and take advantage of those advantages!
I'm taking lots of pictures. The growing season for 2016 is just about over. Vegetable wise, I won't have much to contribute to my 2016 gardening folder. It has though, been my best year for growing and propagating flowers.
