Gotta' Have Some More Roses
I haven't posted pictures of roses lately. This time of year rose blooms are typically smaller and there are less of them. The roses take something of a break in the heat of our summer. There still are some blooming though. Here is a bloom on my Golden Celebration bush. It's the same bloom on consecutive days. Small, but beautiful.

Are you making a list of more roses to buy? Seems as if the yellows do better in the heat, or is it just me?
I meant to comment on the Tuberose. I haven't planted tuberoses in decades. Thank you for the reminder.
... and I'm over vines. My cypress vine is twining, twining and not a single tiny blossom.
In my yard the yellow roses aren't really doing any better than the others. Guess I've just been taking more pictures of the yellows lately. : )
I'm planning on getting two more roses this fall. They are Buff Beauty and Prosperity. Both are hybrid musk roses which I don't have any of. Also, I saw both of these roses at the ARS gardens this April and they stunned me with their beauty and fragrance. I just have to get those two.
Cypress vine is one of the few vines that I've resisted planting because of its invasiveness. Instead, I plant the similar Cardinal Climber. I actually like it when my vines delay bloom until they get really big, because when they finally start blooming it is a much better show. I had one morning glory that did that last year and it was my biggest show-stopper once it did start.
