'Prairie Harvest' |
The colors and hues of roses are spectacular and sometimes different in the Fall here! I don't see the pink blush on the petals of this 'Prairie Harvest' from buds that pre-bake in the summer heat, and I believe the demure tint added to the normal light yellow increases the allure of this rose.
'Lavande' |
The lavenders can often be deeper and bolder toned at this time in the fall. This is 'Lavande', a floribunda that I purchased cheap from a local and now out-of-business discount box store many years ago. I suspected at the time that I was just buying a mislabeled 'Angel Face', but there really is a 'Lavande', a florists rose, bred in Canada by Bruce Rennie.
'Granada' |
'Granada' shows off its bi-color blooms and its scent here when the summer sun doesn't roast it into submission within hours. This rose is one of Mrs. ProfessorRoush's favorites. I can take it or leave it, personally.
Have you noticed that "orange roses" actually really look a little orange as Halloween closes in? This miniature rose, whose name I've long forgotten, always picks October to remind me that it still deserves a place in my garden.
Viva La Autumn!
Look good enough to eat.
