Gorgeous Silver Shadows., a photo by Leenechan on Flickr.

Here's a much better shot of "Silver Shadows." Are you tired of this rose yet? I'm not! This is a much-maligned specimen and I have to represent!

Really, we've had this rose since October of last year--overwintered it in the house and everything. At least in our climate, it's no worse than any of the other roses.

I think that the thrips are starting to release their death grip on "Moondance." Huzzah!

If we want to keep the flowers this lovely, we're going to have to keep this rose pinched to no more than five buds at a time.

I think we're going to have to move the one in the ground. It's been getting too much sun and the flowers are now white instead of purple. I'd rather have them purple!
