A little self-indulgence

30 or more years ago, I grew hybrid tea roses. I got away from it for a long time but last Fall I put in 8 nice plants. These are my first three blooms this season.[attachment=0:r8rnxdml]DSC00246.JPG[/attachment:r8rnxdml]
I know these new "knockout" roses have kinda dominated the market for a while but Hybrid Teas are incredibly rewarding....even if they are somewhat finicky.

I don't know anything about roses, but they sure are pretty!

Very pretty! I can't grow squat!

Oh my gosh.... they are gorgeous! *picks up the yellow one, pulls it close to the nose to smell its beauty and twirls around the room*


Pretty!

All we can get to grow are knockouts. We can't grow real roses like that. Pretty!

We seem to have the best luck if we IGNORE a rose bush. The ones we feed and fuss over, don't do squat. Ignore a bush, on the side of the house, and boom, beautiful roses.
