Good day Folks ~ Hope you are having a good one wherever you are, whatever you are doing. It's is partly cloudy, warm and humid. We've had a little rain and more is expected, then a cold front will move in, with temps dropping to around 50 tomorrow night. That will be oh so nice.
Here are some rose pictures taken the last couple of mornings. I love roses and am happy to be able to grow some here in my gardens. I wish I could share their scents with you, but alas, they have not come up with a way to do that.

Chrysler Imperial is the rose in the first three pictures. It's really a deep, dark, velvety red with a wonderful old rose scent.

Here they are in a bouquet. I just turned the vase to see them from different angles.
The perfume of roses
are like exquisite chords of music
composed of many odor notes
harmoniously blended.

This old world that we're livin' in
Is might hard to beat.
You get a thorn with every Rose
But - ain't the roses sweet?
