Tuesday flowers

Front porch flowers July 2019
I went to the library a few minutes ago to pick up a book I had requested, and after navigating the car through myriad construction projects and finally found a place to park, I walked in for the few minutes it took to check the book out. On the way back, I remembered that it's Tuesday and time for a post. What to write about? As I walked past my front porch flowers, the problem was solved: flowers, of course.
Gorgeous rosebush
In our front yard area, this lovely rosebush catches my eye whenever I park my car in front of it. My friend Hedi told me she remembers when she and another resident planted it, a decade ago. It has the most beautiful multicolored roses, some more yellow than pink, others a sweet mixture, with light that seems to radiate right out of the petals.
Mostly pink
I love these flowers and appreciate their beauty every year as they grace our common area. I would pick some and bring them inside, but it seems selfish to do that. Instead, I'll share them with you, intact on the bush.

  4. Lovely flowers. Roses are hard to grow, because the bugs love to eat the leaves.

  8. What a lovely welcome home. Maybe if you just snipped off a bud--? Probably best not to for if all did that, you would just have a green, thorny bush to greet you.

  10. Magic. We have a rose garden nearby. It seemed to explode overnight. Summer pleasures fly by. I'm knee deep in raspberries right now. I also discovered they taste even better with homemade fudge sauce.

  13. DJan, your front porch in the picture looks very large. Is it yours alone or do you share with a neighbor? We love roses too. I especially like old roses - the ones that are a pale pale pink.
