Beautiful! All your roses are lovely but you know I've already developed a weakness for the Austin's. Even bug-bitten this one is still lovely!
I need to take a photo of Jessica. I took your advice and trimmed some buds but she sprouted more. I left them be and with this current streak of warm weather she's about to explode all over. There are some bug bitten and/or yellowed leaves I need to take a closer look at to determine the cause but it seems that, in general, my resident spiders are keeping things largely in check.
Oh yes, the two sort of half-arsed blooms she's had so far I've clipped and dried the petals in my dehydrator. So fragrant! I'm mixing it with the French lavender that I pick out front and dry which is only very lightly scented.
