Glowing Peace and Double Delight Roses. November 7, 2008.

As I mentioned yesterday, we’ve had a cold front move through our area with temperatures down around freezing.  On Friday I brought in what will probably be our last roses of the season, which are shown in the picture above.  The rose on the left is called Glowing Peace, while the rose on the right is my personal favorite, Double Delight.

I think our roses did pretty well this year.  I’m still working on getting the rose beds fixed up properly, but we did have 33 different varieties bloom this year.

We had our first rose bloom on May 9 and that rose was, interestingly enough, Double Delight!  So I guess you could say that Double Delight began and ended our roses this year.  Since it is as fragrant as it is beautiful, I couldn’t think of a more appropriate beginning and ending for the roses this year.
