I love the first roses of the season!!
First, my favorite, the Jackson & Perkins Sunbright hybrid tea rose. I adore this rose. Unfortunately, so do the Japanese beetles. But they aren't here yet.
The Jackson Perkins Cherry Parfait floribunda rose. Not nearly as pretty. But does bloom a lot. It was actually the first to bloom.
I have two other bushes, a red hybrid tea called Mirandy (not JP) I thought I'd killed but it is alive! It is very small though and has one tiny bud on it. The second is my new Jackson Perkins Brigadoon hybrid tea that I just got this year. It doesn't have any buds just yet. It does appear to be healthy and growing though.

Those are beautiful, Jamie! Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteWhen those Japanese beetles rear their ugly heads, hit 'em with Seven dust. I have fond memories of following my grandma around when she was dusting her lovely roses.
