Great pictures as usual, Jen. Gita, that rose is beautiful. You're right about being a slave to roses if you want them to survive all their perils. Unfortunately, I've been hooked on them since childhood when my grandfather had them growing all over the periphery of his vegetable and fruit garden.


The rose bushes are getting ready to bloom prolifically for the last time maybe. Then I will start cutting them back hard to prevent them from being broken by winter storms and wind. If I cut them back too late they will try to bloom when it's too cold.

Malibu has done very well this year.
