Several days ago, I posted a picture of what I assumed would be the "last roses of summer." I had cut the roses from our knock-out bushes when we expected colder temperatures. Since that time, we have had several cold and frosty mornings, so I was surprised when I noticed these.

| A rose is blooming.... |

| ....and another! |

| Some small buds here.... |
 |
| ....and another bloom here.... |
 |
| ....and here.... |

| and here! |
 |
| Of course, there are mums! |
 |
| Do you see the bumblebee working? |
 |
| Even the begonia is joining in! |

| Surely this will be the "last roses of the summer." |
There is a football game this afternoon. The VOLS will play 9th-ranked Auburn for Homecoming. Keeping up with that game will surely fill part of my day.:-)
Thank you for reading. I really appreciate your comments.
I remember that your lovely rose was still blooming beautifully last Thanksgiving, but we had not had so many chilly days at that time. Your green thumb is showing, and we thank you for sharing those blooms with us! GO VOLS!!!! Wearing an orange shirt today, no matter what! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Nellie:)
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to still have Roses blooming. Mine were holding on for as long as they could until they just had to succumb to this frosty weather.
I did have a Blanket flower that was a bit mixed up. It started budding just the other day but alas, it is now "frozen" in time until next year:)
Penn State doesn't have a home game today but that's okay, I'm not much of a football fan anyway, lol...
Thanks so much for sharing your blooms, Nellie...Have a glorious weekend!
Those roses seem to be persistent. Our mums have been persistent as well. They're still holding on even with all these frosts :)
ReplyDeleteThe roses are lovely Nellie. What a nice surprise to find roses still in bloom.
ReplyDeleteWe are forecast snow here for Monday.
The last of the season flowers are always special.

My pink John Davis rose bushes have been blooming even after repeated light frost but this week it got hit by hard frost.

Each one after the one you thought would be the last is an added bonus!
