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!

Good choice - a glimpse back at summer for us on our foggy island! I've missed your posts - hope life is not too hectic and that you've healed over the past weeks.
Hugs...
Oh your roses are divine!!! I hope I get to plant some early next year!!! :) Enjoy the autumn season with your gorgeous blooms! :)
Cheers,
Jessie
your roses are wonderful... mine are deer food, not a one in sight :(
A wonderful show by your pretty roses...love how they are interlaced with the velvety purple spikes of the Mexican Sage. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend...R of the P, perhaps? I'm in NYC.

Wonderful brilliant colors..yes So Cal has great benefits..roses are truly one of them...and long growing seasons.
Oh, Susan, those roses are so pretty! You are lucky to live where you do. Everything here is all faded now, mostly just leaves...a lot of them on the ground :)
Just opened your blog, saw the images and...immediately the scent.... could smell your roses!
Yes! That's true!
Isn't it lovely and wonderful to have roses blooming right through the year and hopefully into November!
We all know about red-golden autumn leaves - but only very few of us have roses by now!!!!!
Just a wonderful post for my Sunday evening while weather is turning a bit greyish here....
Thank YOU!
Also thank you for your - really lovely - comments! I do appreciate your thoughtful words.
Hope that your knee will improve, step by step! But believe me, it will take time, and please don't rush, take it easy and unfortunately you have to be patient. I had a knee/miniscus/endoscopie in 1994, and it took me nearly a year to get back to 'normal'. But then never a problem again.
Heartily greetings and best wishes,

Oh - just another look at your roses and - took a deep breath, and again - the scent came over the atlantic/ocean/cyber space......
Wonderful! Still have/got it!
sorry about my English!!!
Oh my gosh - breathtaking. So beautiful. You have an amazing green thumb. Hope all is well.
Absolutely gorgeous pictures! Beautiful roses, their amazing beauty always leave me enthralled. Thanks for these beautiful captures for us to enjoy. Visiting from the Fresh-cut Friday party. Have a great week!~Poppy

Hello! Thank you so much for linking up for FCF. Please don't worry about being late. I leave it open so that anyone can jump in. Your roses are so lovely. We are enjoying our second bloom too. :)
Have a great week! :)

Beautiful roses Susan and I can't believe you still have so many in bloom, lucky you. I have two yellow roses that I hope bloom before frost hits us other then that everything here is going to sleep for their long winters nap.
Girl, I have to say I'm turnin' an ugly color of envy green here!!!
Your roses are just majestically beautiful. I have 38 rose bushes here on the Ponderosa's acre yard. We had floods early spring that truly washed the needed trace minerals that are needed to grow beautiful plants right outta the soil. I've spent the summer tryin' to replenish. I've worked hard baby!!!
I just wanted to thank ya for your visit and sweet comment over at my place. Please drop in often...the door is always open.
God bless ya and enjoy your fantastic week!!! :o)
The orange and apricot-colored ones
look like they are laughing. I love
that.
Your roses are glorious! I'm always so envious of Ca's growing season!
Well if that wasn't the most lovely start to my morning, I don't know what is! Absolutely gorgeous!!! what a stunning assortment of roses!
Oh I love the peach ones. I keep picking crickets off my roses here-then murder. hugs♥O
Thank you for
my rose fix!
While the zinnias
and cosmos are
hanging on, my
shrub rose hasn't
bloomed in quite
a while....getting
ready to go to sleep
for a while : )
Hope you are well!
xx Suzanne
Gorgeous! Trying to pry myself off the computer...and I stumble into this! Sigh. Wonderful. I appreciate these late roses even more. XO Trish
Beautiful roses! I am sorry to hear about your surgeries and hope you will heal soon. I hope your roses are cheering you up.
Your roses are all beautiful. What a wonderful post so near winter.
Happy pink Saturday
You just about blew me away with this magnificent rose presentation. They all are stunning. One of my most favorite flowers ever. Thanks for letting us enjoy them with you.
Oh I want my roses to look like yours. I have a major beetle problem. I spray with soap and water and they still attack my roses..So much they can eat away a rose in one day..and then we use stronger stuff which is only bad for our health..the beetles have no fear..
Thanks so much for coming by and following me..it is appriciated so much..
Enjoy the weekend..
Susan, please pop over to my blog I've given you the versatile blogger award!
Welcome to your first Pink Saturday. I am so glad you joined us, and I hope you will continue.
Your roses are absolutely breatntaking.
Hello,
I visited your blog today. I just love all your rose photos. Roses are a favorite of mine, especially the red rose. While I was scrolling down, I noticed the surfer pictures and started to smile, as my son and husband have surfed the waves all throughout California. Me and my daughters started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with you. Your blog is filled with beauty, and your pictures are so cheerful. I hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day,
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
