Early Autumn Roses

To be honest, I started to do a post about something else but at the last minute

I decided that the roses in my garden are so beautiful right now that I had to

show some of them to you...

I took all these photos a few days ago and truly feel the roses are celebrating the last

beautiful days of their late summer/early autumn blooms before coming back again in

a few weeks with their smaller, but still lovely, fall blooms.

This week the roses seem to be especially spectacular with a riot of beautiful

colors and blooms.

As you can see, I'm really not in any rush for autumn and winter because those

months seem to last so long.  I feel very fortunate that here in Southern California

our roses will bloom into early November. 

I hope you enjoy seeing these last days of late summer/early autumn roses.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

I will be joining Rose Vignettes for Fresh Cut Friday.
