November came in with a blast of cool air that has turned downright cold. With a low of 27 forecasted for tonight, our roses are fading fast. Here are a few of the remaining blooms:
Pollinators busy working on a bloom of Moondance.
Artistry has such a beautiful color. Love the blooms of this rose
Pope John Paul II is a favorite in our garden. Beautiful form, tons of blooms and the sweetest fragrance.
Finally, Sweet Drift. We have seven shrubs of this rose that form a small border in our front garden. Very floriferous.

70 here yesterday. Glorious, yet I think we are going to receive you cold weather today. Yikes! I continue to cover Tiny every night, in hopes that her last bud will open outdoors!
Happy Thanksgiving Chris and Tina!

I brought a few brave blooms into the house yesterday and now prepare for some really cold nights to do their thing to the garden. Lovely photos, as usual, Chris.

The arctic air did my roses in. It was sad to see them go. I was hoping that they could hang on until Thanksgiving, but no chance. I enjoyed your photos!
