One of my yellow roses is blooming today. So that's nice. It has a very good smell, so sweet. It smells like a summer breeze.

A star because it also smells sweet. I love the scent of roses. So many modern varieties have no smell at all.

I have some roses here now that smells unbelievable. I have one called "Romanze", it's a shrub rose that was made by a German company called Tantau Rosen in 1985. That one is a favorite. It's difficult to describe the smell because I have nothing to compare it to. But it's sweet, like the yellow one.

Excellent.

Roses don’t grow well where I live. Though possibly with lots of fungicide etc.

It can be difficult to have roses here too, the winter is hard for them. And then the spring sun burns them and dries them out. But I have found old shrub roses to be hardy. I have a white shrub rose that is a cutting from a rose bush that is over 200 years old. It grows well in poor clay soil and it doesn't need any help from me at all. Grows like weeds. It's very different from newer types of roses. But it's not a repeat-flowering rose, so that's not great. It's this one:

Beautiful. We have native roses that grow wild on fence rows and farmers hate them. But. They are beautIful.

I have some young native roses that might be okay here. We shall see. It would be at the very southern border of our “zone.”

Someone planted these at a road corner and it’s been cheery to see them. The flowers behind are flowering Crape Myrtle trees.
