It's the Fourth of July...a day for picnics, fireworks and baseball. We've been cheering for our struggling Cleveland Indians. They are having a terrible year but all of a sudden have won 6 of their last 7 games. Maybe things are taking a turn for the better.

This shirt full of hybrid tea roses is one of the first products I made for Zazzle.

It's the start to our long holiday weekend. Fourth of July weekend seems to symbolize the real beginning of the summer season.

My Tuscany rose is still blooming. She is considered one of the oldest surviving Gallicas. It is believed that the description of the "Old Velvet Rose" in Gerard's The Herball or General Historie of Plantes refers to her. This document dates to 1596. So she's at least that old and probably much older. I featured her on this poster in Bebop's Place.

Wow, it's the last day of June. This month really flew by. Today my white Meidilland shrub rose is the star of the garden. She is as tall as I am and much wider. The poster below portrays a composition of her white roses which has been digitally enhanced for a watercolor effect. This wonderful shrub rose produces hundreds of small ivory rosettes for most of the summer and is practically carefree.

Today is cooler and sunnier. I plan to spend a good part of the day weeding.

Although my Harison's Yellow rose is done blooming, I have created this mug to remind me of its beauty all year round.

It's a warm, drizzly day here and I didn't work with the roses. I mulched my annual flower garden which needed it badly. Here are a few more great rose products from Zazzle stores:
