Yesterday I posted a photo of a rose in my yard, covered with snow from the night before.

When people think about the beauty of roses, we often do not think of the beautiful hips, which provide food for birds in the winter (among other uses).  They are beautiful and colorful in their own right.

Over the past several years, I have documented &#8216;Mermaid&#8217; as a beautiful Old Garden Rose (hybrid bracteata) introduced in 1918.  She was up to my roof, and in May of 2006 won &#8220;Best of Show&#8221; in the Albuquerque Rose Show.  You have seen that &#8220;The Big [...]]]></description>

Isn&#8217;t this a gorgeous spray of roses?  This is &#8216;Gemini,&#8217; a hybrid tea by Keith Zary of Jackson and Perkins.
This photo was taken this afternoon.  This week has been both hot and windy, and yet the bush is covered with single blooms and with sprays.

&#8216;Flower Girl&#8217; is one of my favorite roses to grow in Albuquerque.  It blooms early, continuously, and well into the fall.  As you can see, it makes huge sprays of delicate flowers.  It is disease-free, and requires little more than an occasional feeding [...]]]></description>

This really is a rose, officially a China.  In rose shows, it is eligible for the Genesis Award.
The cluster of green you see are really the sepals. I have been told there are true flowers deep inside the cluster of sepals; I have never seen one.
When I took the test to become an [...]]]></description>

Isn&#8217;t this a beautiful garden?  This photo was taken today, July 11, when gardens in the Desert Southwest frequently look like crispy critters.

Some of the roses are &#8216;Hot Cocoa,&#8217; &#8216;Gemini,&#8217; and &#8216;St. Patrick.&#8217;
The tree in the foreground is a crabapple.

		<description><![CDATA[Rose 'Mermaid'
This is the rose that was almost destroyed in Albuquerque&#8217;s &#8220;100-year Snow&#8221; in December of 2006.  Although it is not yet as tall as before the storm, 2.5 years later, &#8216;Mermaid&#8217; has returned to its full glory in terms of quality and quantity of blossoms!
Patience does pay.
