I also saw a bloom on the red rose. I made a mental note to cut the two blooms since a killing frost was forecast. Just as I was leaving, I saw a white bloom on the musk rose (the one I call Grandpa's rose). I dashed over and cut it off as well.
Meanwhile back at my house, I'm enjoying the last two blooms on the yellow Anthony Meilland rose that I bought for my husband quite a few years ago.
Farewell, roses, till next spring.
The rose is such a high profile flower, and is beautiful. I cannot remember the names of course, but traveling around to different rose gardens, it is sure easy to appreciate them.
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow rose. Every time I see one I think of John Wayne and a movie I sneaked off to see when it was a sin. "The Yellow Rose of Texas".
One thing you miss in Florida is definite season changes. However it is cooler here.
Love from Florida.
