‘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.

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 ~~
