Oct. 20-24, Bay area SFO: what'll be blooming?
Comments (7)Most all kinds of roses bloom around here in late Oct, except the "once blooming" ones, and this year some of THOSE are blooming now, so who knows? We had a really cool summer for us - the roses love it. Most of my roses put out some bloom in Oct, Nov, and Dec - we really have a 12 month season. My old tea roses, in particular, love October, but so do many of the HTs. So, I would check out the gardens noted above. Also, if you can get up to Sacramento (depending on where you are in the East Bay, it might be even closer than San Jose), be sure to go to the Sacramento Historic Cemetery Old Rose Garden - it is amazing. They have planted old roses rescued from all over No Cal there, among the historic grave stones. By October Sacramento will have cooled down to livable temperatures for humans. Hope you enjoy your trip! Jackie...See MoreMore blooms now, It seems nicer when you have a few blooms.
Comments (10)Today was my first "real" daylily bloom from Little Rosy cloud. I only saw scapes on it last week, funny how it usually isn't the ones that scape first that bloom. This is the very earliest I have ever seen this one bloom, I think last year it was May 25. I'm sad to see the last photo of Fernstone, will it not rebloom? Marseilles Watercolor & Purple Mask are really pretty, I like the patterned ones like that. And Indigo Edge is so crisp looking. I had to look really hard to see what was holding New Dawn up, that is one impressive rose....See MoreA Few More Fairly Early
Comments (5)Prairie Moon does not require staking. It is a semi-double. I won't say that stems will never lean, but it is quite upright. Lights Out even more so. Prairie Moon does age with ugly brown spots....See MoreA few early blooms
Comments (7)Thank you guys and galls for the complements. The HT's are going to be few and far between this season as they rebuild the bush's from the winter. I lost a lot of roses but I got a slew from Wisconsin Roses that are doing really well. Artist----Eutin is a Floribunda. Very tough rose. Roots very easy. Mine started out as a twig. Once established, it builds on itself every year with strong growth from the ground....See Moremmmm12COzone5
