She will probably have BS here, too. Possibly she'll outgrow it since it seems to be unanimous that she's a great rose here, but I'll have to be patient about that. I SP'd her once for that reason, but I won't do it again. She's a thrilling rose. This photo was taken after sundown in that 'golden hour', so I was a little surprised she didn't turn out redder. I'm going to have to do some research on the subject of reds. I do think different camera brands handle reds better than others. Thanks for the link. I love your rose tunnel. That will be a heart-stopper this year. sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-87608787144843696142013-02-01T07:10:54.094-08:002013-02-01T07:10:54.094-08:00Janie, Belinda's Dream had me at hello.

As far as the color pink goes, it would be almost impossible for a warm-climate OGR gardener not to be loaded with pinks. One spring day I arrived home from work and looked across the intersection at my front yard and it hit me how much it looked like an overdone little girl's bedroom. Lots of mixed feelings. Louis Philippe and Belinda's Dream are great roses for the hot south.sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-41381584988027505182013-02-01T06:44:50.264-08:002013-02-01T06:44:50.264-08:00You're too funny, Dani.

I knew instantly that your first photo was Maggie. She is one of my very favorites, though she blackspots here. Play around with your camera, and try to photograph Maggie (and your other reddish roses) in the soft light of a high overcast ... not shade. It took me forever to get a photo of Maggie that shows her true color, and I have yet to capture one that shows the true red of 'Black Ice'. I keep trying, and so should you. (go to this blog post to see a photo of Maggie, nestled in a cluster of 'Champneys' Pink Cluster'<br />http://hartwoodroses.blogspot.com/2011/01/joyous-announcement.html)<br />Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-21292264138612622032013-02-01T05:25:39.002-08:002013-02-01T05:25:39.002-08:00I see you have Belinda's dream...and I did hea...I see you have Belinda's dream...and I did hear you mention the Louise Philippe. If you asked me if I like pink roses, I would say sometimes. Although not my favorite when it's a beautiful rose overall. I deeply like them. I was looking for Belinda's Dream yesterday, couldn't find her but it is my understand they do well in our hot climate.<br /><br />The pictures are gorgeous, by the way.Cerberus German shepherdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429615988299569447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-14720325721960582152013-02-01T05:24:26.558-08:002013-02-01T05:24:26.558-08:00I am gasping already, Sherry :) Beautiful !I am gasping already, Sherry :) Beautiful !Dani P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14480088629814543163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928880599026491390.post-53308546517393258722013-01-31T14:58:20.860-08:002013-01-31T14:58:20.860-08:00You know I love to please my rosey friends.

A cold front just whizzed through last night but apparently it's a mild one since only a low of 36 degrees is expected tonight. Right now it's chilly for us, 63.3 degrees.
