Well, our Brooklyn summer lasts longer, but we’ve had a surprisingly short spring after a tough winter—and to my surprise, our New Dawn roses—the pink ones in the pictures— are in full flourish a few weeks earlier than usual. In some climates, they’re supposed to have a second bloom in October, but after years, we can only hope. That’s all one New Dawn, over 25 years old…even when cut back to a stump it quickly and aggressively reclaims its territory.
Beautiful pictures. I hope that you get to enjoy both weeks of Calgary’s summer!
Ha Ha, the first is almost over!
Good idea!
