Unwelcome "vacation"

It's been almost two months since I last posted something to this blog.  A prolonged illness really cut down on my ability to properly care for the 90+ rose bushes in my yard.  But I'm back now, and the roses are getting the care that they deserve.  I dusted off  my camera this morning and took a couple of photos of the indomitable roses that persisted despite a bit of neglect.   There was a pretty bloom on one of my 'Queen Elizabeth' roses today -- this rose variety has a very honest pink color and just the right number of petals.  In the background is the main rose bed populated by many rose seedlings whose maturity has helped them weather the storm.
