Went for a walk in the rose garden on a beautiful mild day.
They must have bought the new roses by the half dozen or more of each variety as there are many repeats.
Some new ones are already bare from disease and if who ever is in charge does not change her attitude, they will be dying by the dozen soon enough.
One of the old surviving roses was nothing but sucker canes, three feet high
They should have dealt with it but 3 of my roses this year, put out sucker canes and I have never had that many in one year ever do it before; acutally I rarely have to deal with that.
The non rose part of the gardens was very, very nice, with some type of Rudbeckia lining one sidewalk on both sides up to eight feet tall.
Butterflies and Bumbles were busy even with the high wind.
The Bumble seemed to like to go for the highest which were waving in the wind.
Maybe once she gets her knee fixed things will change but now even if Sharon comes, she sits in the car while I walk by myself.
That was probably the nicest day of the entire summer for weather, but I will have to try to get there again by my self and spend more time as with the below average cold coming it may come to an end quickly.
