My roses have begun. This year I used a better kind of fertilizer, with micro-nutrients, and am VERY happy with the results. Worth the money.

Try a new tag (at the right) while you are here, maybe—how about “rose” or “summer”?

Possibly the last rose of summer, this coral beauty from my mid-October garden makes me happy.

They predicted rain, quite a bit, so I went out and cut the fully open roses. What a fine idea I had.
