Bloomin' November 2024

November roses: 'Firefighter', 'Snowbird' and others, 'Valencia' and others, 'Yves Piaget', 'Silas Marner'

Something different for this month's celebration of flowers;  just some garden roses to celebrate a good year for roses.

'Firefighter':

'Yves Piaget' with a 'Silas Marner' on the right.  These are planted together in the garden by accident, not planning, but it is an accidentally lovely pairing:

'Valencia' with 'The Poet's Wife' (on the right) and 'Brass Band' peaking over the top:

'Snowbird' with 'Bolero 2004' looking away on the right:

 Last photo: 'Moondance' from the plant cut back, dug up, and potted back in late September.  She's blooming!

 Lastly, a thought for this month, this year, the rest of the decade... 

 "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."  -- Congressional Representative John R. Lewis (b. 1940 d. 2020).
