It's been a while since my last post, but I haven't forgotten you. I have some more pretty rose bloom photos to share, and once again they show the variety of flowers produced by the seedlings that I've grown from an open-pollinated 'Queen Elizabeth' parent. Another point of interest: look below the foliage in these photos to see the low-growing ground cover that's beginning to turn brown. Quite a bit of
Sagina procumbens has invaded the back yard rose bed, adding to the already present moss and liverwort patches. Which will become dominant is anybody's guess.

Update of July 2, 2017: To aid you in remembering what a 'Queen Elizabeth' bloom looks like, I took a photo earlier today of a cluster of seven blooms on one of my 'QE' rose bushes (I guess "seven" is reflective of the fact that I also have seven 'QE' rose bushes) --
