If you were expecting to find something kinky, sorry to disappoint! Instead you get photos of sexy pink roses, hollyhocks and a bumblebee. The first rose is a David Austin that we don’t have labeled, so I don’t have a name for it. The bumblebee is on volunteer hollyhocks that are very happy in the dry conditions. The third photo is of Pink Promise — under New Mexico sun, Pink Promise is milky white with subtle shades of pink. It is the official rose of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The fourth photo is of Rainbow Sorbet, which offers a wide range of pinks with a bit of yellow in the base. The last photo is of Simply Marvelous which is more lavender colored than pink, but it has a few shades of the lower 50 pinks.
Off Center & Not Even 
Your roses are doing amazingly well! Nice pics!
Those are the few good ones, right after a good irrigating! Most of our roses are really stressed;• (
I LOVE pink roses, especially the David Austin roses. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photos~ mmmm I can almost smell them!
Unfortunately, in our dry climate, the roses have very little scent. We have to enjoy their beauty more than their smell.
Your roses look beautiful; I like the Pink Promise and the Simply Marvelous best. We don’t have either of those (yet). Our roses are starting to bloom, but they are small because of the three freezes that we had earlier this spring. I hope they recover by the end of summer. I’m glad you had such a wonderful trip and glad you are home.
Thanks, Juanita! Our roses are thriving thanks to Tristan and David taking care of them while we were in France. Still, a lot of the blooms are small and sunburned. None of our bushes were blooming when we left in May, because of late frosts.
Beautiful roses! In our garden just a few are blooming. Maybe after the sun we had for three days and the rain to come, they all start blooming soon… 😉
