Roses
I've gotta share my latest rose blooming. This is a hybrid tea rose 'Tiffany' I managed to rebloom today, my second reblooming. I bought it last year. This one is fragrant, and is supposed to be standard sized (though it still makes somewhat small blooms?). The plant is small, and too tender to plant outside. It was sold as a disposable plant rather than a rose bush.
And this is a minature rose, a photo from January. Since then it has given another blooming though I didn't take photos. I think it is the cultivar 'Karina Parade'
I bloomed these indoors. I'm not a rose expert yet though my experience is to move them into a larger pot once purchased. They don't seem to do so well in those small nursery pots, so my Tiffany rose wasn't doing so well before. Also water a lot, and give it as much direct sun as possible. I believe sources suggest 4 hours of direct sun. I bloomed them on my western window, next to orchids, but now I moved it to southern exposure (to make room for orchids). So far no spidermite problems.
I just bought three hybrid tea rose cultivars for outdoors. They aren't hardy in my area so the will require winter protection and will need to be planted deep. Hopefully I'll manage.

WOOW...Nice shorting. I love rose, frangrance. There're pics you took very beauty and artistry.
I had a garbage bag over it to keep it from drying out as it overwintered for many months in the garage. I can't plant tree roses in the ground or the graft would freeze. Anyway I sprayed it with Physan. I love the smell of Mister Lincoln, it reminds me of Lychee fruits.
