I finally got the last of the film developed and came out with a couple of good rose pictures.
The first two pics are of Chicago Peace. I find it interesting that one of the blooms is split almost directly down the middle; one 1/2 with normal coloring and 1/2 cream:
The next picture is of Moondance. This rose really outdid itself as a first year plant; sending out blooms galore. This picture will look odd until you realize I was laying on my back because the blooms were so heavy they weighed down the cane until it almost reached the ground (the ground being the driveway which is about 2 feet lower than ground level of the rose). All the blooms are off of one stem, which after this picture was taken was immediatly cut and put in a vase. There are buds you can't see in the picture, so this one stem gave me over a week of blooms:
I can't wait until next year to see what these plants can do!
Beautiful roses and what a performance the Moondance put on!
