Some roses

Good morning Folks,

Well, it’s morning here, Friday the 19th of October. It is still very warm and humid down here. We’re having rain and more rain.  We had a really lovely day a week or so back, when I wrote my last post, but it immediately warmed back up and the humidity is thick. Not as bad as August and September, but still miserable.

Ok, here are some of the roses in bloom down here.

Vincent Godsiff, with spiderwort in the background.

‘Cocktail’ rose.

‘Louis Philippe’

This might be ‘Bon Silene’, but I’m not positive.

This is an unknown rose, given to me as a rooted cutting by a friend in CA. I thought she told me had the same name as her grandmother, and I think it was Mary Elizabeth, but I’ve not found any roses that match this one.  The first two photos were in morning sunlight.

These were taken in the afternoon, more the true color. It is nicely scented too.

‘Penelope’

DH is still healing. Fan on our a.c. unit went caput yesterday morning, so no a.c. for us. Sunday morning I’ll see if I can pull the unit out, (it pulls out of the frame, into the room), to see if there is a place to oil the fan. If not, I’ll shove it back in, and we’ll sweat it out. At least it’s nearing the end of October. We are keeping windows shut to keep out heat and humidity, and have 3 ceiling fans going. We can’t afford to have someone come out to do this. We’re thinking of other a.c. options so checking into those. Hopefully, we can oil the fan and it will be good to go for another few years.  The unit is Friedrich’s very good make and is only 3 years old. We had units by the company before that have lasted years and years.

I’ll close with a verse I looked up this morning.
