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.

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>

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.

&#8216;Gemini&#8217; is a great rose for the desert southwest.  This photo was shot on August 15, 2008.  You can see that the rose does not lose its size, form, or color even in the heat of summer.  Flowers generally appear singly, one-bloom-to-a-stem, but &#8216;Gemini&#8217; is capable of making very large sprays.  [...]]]></description>
