Roses in the mist



Prettier than gorillas.




Well, I did say that May was rose month.




Today in New York we are in a cloud.




The roses like it.




It makes them last longer.



For two weeks I love the New Dawn. The rest of the year I mutter about ripping it out and replacing it with a grape vine.



But it think it heard me and is putting on a show, just in case. New Dawn is the thorniest rose I know. Very good burglar proofing.

  1. They smell a lot nicer than gorillas, too! Hmm, wonder if those roses could be used to keep the bandito away?
