Baby Austin Rose

Baby Austin Rose

I've learned from other bloggers that roses are some of the last blooming perennials for year. I purchased three different container roses from Rogue Valley Roses in Oregon this year and just when I thought their blooming season was over - Voila! - more buds. Besides this Baby Austin bush, I also have two other varieties called Brown Velvet and Incantation. Their buds haven't bloomed, but when they do I will post pictures.

The Baby Austin is called a micro-mini rose. This bloom is just the size of my thumbnail.

Karen said...: Anyes: Thank you! I was using a very inexpensive macro lens attachment that I bought from eBay and am really pleased with how it turned out.

Dorothy: Well, Mom has taken all the creative areas except for this one. . .

Jane: I can't kneel down due to two bum knees, but over at Rogue Valley Roses (www.roguevalleyroses.com), they say no. I love their roses, extremely hardy through this terrible heat and will be going back for more bands.; September 26, 2010 at 5:46 PM
