‘Proud Land’ garden roses
This may be my new favorite rosebush in the garden. Growing roses in the Pacific Northwest is tough with our damp climate. I have 18 different rosebushes in front of my house and after three years, ‘Proud Land’ seems to be the star. It’s huge, disease resistant, and just covered with dark red, fragrant flowers. Very satisfying. I’m calling this my Best Post of the Week.
For more cool photos, you might pay a visit to Scenic Sunday, Shadow Shot Sunday 2, Outdoor Wednesday, Weekend Flowers, Floral Friday, Color Carnival, and Ruby Tuesday 2. If you’ve arrived via a link and there is only one photo below, click on Sara’s Fave Photos Blog above to see the complete collection here. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Great photo, Sara. I love the sunlight on the roses.
Our best performer is Garden Party. I have eight of them in a bed down our driveway.

They look so vibrant and healthy … our roses are looking very sad because it is so HOT in central TX — 106 today in the shade.
Enjoy those wonderful fragrances ~~
