No kidding!
So are all these beauties under your care?
They are. My arms are all scratche up from cutting all the dead canes out of the bushes. I tell people cat herding is a rough job. As you can see, the roses are very happy to have all the deadwood out.
You do a magnificent job. Are they all on your property?
I can now understand your previous comment!
Yes,. They are all on our property.
That’s just amazing.
At one point we had around 300 rose bushes. We probably have a thrid of then now.
Holy Hannah!! That’s a lot of maintenance!
One late freeze we lost 70 bushes in one garden alone. Between late freezes and drought, only the hardiest bushes have survived.
Jeez Louise….
I guess that is best (less trouble for you?)
These are magnificent examples of the beautiful rose. My mother, who had a classic English garden…grew roses and tended them so beautifully – she would have loved to read about your roses in such a different environment. Thank you:)
I LOVE them. When we came here there was the remains of a rose garden in the jungle that was. There still is remains only, alas many couldn’t be saved, but they flower now.
Lovely roses Tim. Not a flower guy, but I do enjoy the pretty colors. We have one rose in our landscaping and in defiance of Linda’s brown thumb, it manages to make it through year after year – this year it has 8 blooms – a new record. I’ll shot it your rose shots to give it some inspiration!
Off Center & Not Even 
I love them all!
Thanks, Cindy.
Classic
Captivating
Elegant blooms
Such a beautiful gallery
Oozing life, love, beauty and thorns

It’s amazing how tough roses can be. Thanks, Shey.
There’s no such thing as “too many roses”! Wow!
No. But too many rose pictures all at once can wear you out. Thanks, Marina.
Nope! Not yours! 🙏

Great series ~ the flowers are starting to come out over here now, it has really been a cool, wet spring for us.
We’ve been cool and dry, with a little rain. Thanks, Randall.
LOVE!!!!
No one could ever accuse you of not stopping to smell the roses.
Spectacular, Tim!!!!! xo
I photograph them more than I smell them.. Not a lot of scent in our dry climate. Thanks, Resa.
I love roses! Beautiful Tim ..

Rose bushes can be tough. Like pansies, who are super tough despite their name being associated with sissies. Thanks, Brian.
