Blue girl hybrid tea rose. Loveliest lavender color with hints of blue. More apparent after the petals open and age. Can’t wait for this to mature and have more blooms.

Crown princess Margareta from medium climber. This is the 3rd or 4 the year with her and it’s really taking. Ordered a trellis. Can’t wait to having a wall filled with these blossoms.

Litchfield angel rose starting to fully blossom. Has lots of buds. Would’ve had more, but the deer seem to really like this one. No matter how much you spray it. The roses this year are coming in nicely. I started the season with systemic, and then spray weekly with kelp, About every 3rd week I spray neem to control the diseases. Depending on the weather I spray deer off plus or minus every 4 weeks. This shrub rose that gets about 5’x 5’. Nice creamy color flowers from creamish pink buds. Good bloomer, would be stronger if I had in full sun. Part sun is still pretty strong.
