What a beauty! Can you really ever have too many roses when you have so much room to grow them? Lovely to see your gorgeous gardens when all I see is white piled high.

I enjoyed reading about the horses, the frogs, the quail and the other animal comes and goings. Your writing was particularly evocative in this post Sweetbay. I was so taken with Delia's Purple that I made a detour to check if my local rose supplier carries it. Alas, they do not! I love those crimson blooms and was especially sold when I read it was thornless. Oh well, I will have to admire Delia's Purple from a distance.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-60772183812885913752013-02-03T18:34:27.207-05:002013-02-03T18:34:27.207-05:00Casa Prince's injury I think was due in part (...Casa Prince's injury I think was due in part (or maybe all) to bad farrier work and then Prince pulling a stunt in the pasture. It's a long story.... He's got at least another 6 months of rehab left to go, and will likely always be more susceptible to injury in those tendons. sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-37664832606103852402013-02-03T00:12:22.865-05:002013-02-03T00:12:22.865-05:00Your roses make me swoon!

So weird, but true! The caterpillar that's eating your roses is a pest and not the kind that grow up to a pollinator. I get them, too. They're green and match the leaves. They squish very easily.Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-42180750205469286342013-02-01T18:04:23.991-05:002013-02-01T18:04:23.991-05:00Ah, your weather does sound heavenly.

The only rose I have that gets a lot of blackspot is 'Ballerina', and that one is situated down in the big bed where no one can see it during the summer. lol I don't spray anything. I just pick roses known for their disease resistance: rugosas, Chinas, teas, polyanthas, climbers known for their disease resistance.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-25606703687471172232013-01-31T07:00:29.746-05:002013-01-31T07:00:29.746-05:00We were hit by the storm Tuesday night.
