I've been looking forward to this ever since the first leaves started to appear on my bushes :)
Unfortunately, our rose bushes have developed a few problems :(
The leaves appear to have a bad case of blackspot (Well-named, huh?) and that sounds like it's gonna be a booger to get rid of :\
They also have this weed growing all over them. As weeds go, this one is kind of pretty. It has little pods and teeny tiny purple flowers -there is one almost in the center of this photo. I'm curious what this plant is and where it came from. anyone have any ideas?
Despite these two set-backs, the roses are growing beautifully. In fact, the white rose bush has a whopping 23 buds already!!!
Not to be outdone, the pink Tropicana bush has almost as many buds on it :)
It's like those two bushes are competing to be my favorite :) Even the red rose bush is trying to put out a handful of buds...
I love them all, of course, but if they want to be my favorite they'll have to step up their game because there's a new bloom in town :)
With such prolific roses I might need to add a flower arranging class or two to my Lifelong To DO List :)
Looks like I have a LOT to learn :)

Love the tropicana roses. Google Purple Vetch. I think that's the name of your mystery weed. Happy Gardening, Chica!
I googled and I bet you're right! The little pods could be flowers that didn't open yet. So I could have had pretty purple flowers all over my roses! darn it!
