Bryant and Barbara gave Sylvia a gift card for Mother’s Day. It has become their tradition. Sylvia’s tradition is to use that gift card to buy a rose and some other flowers for the gardens. This year was no exception.
Sylvia went shopping and came home with a rose called Joseph’s Coat. At least I think that’s what she said. The following photos will show you why it is called that.
I took these photos this morning. The cloudy sky did a beautiful job of diffusing sunlight, which meant no post-shoot processing. Actually, I did crop and resize the images. This is my practice so that you get faster downloads and so that I use less server storage space for the images. (You can click on the images, but they are already full-size.)
That is actually pretty, and I’m not a big rose fan. Nice way to use a gift card- to keep the gift coming for years.
One of God’s beautiful gifts! The photography ain’t too bad either for an old Radio/TV guy!
Indeed Uncle Willy. These days the old hands are getting shaky so it frequently takes several tries to capture what I want. :frustrated:
Come on…Chuck! You’re not that old! But, yes, the “shakes” have started. We’re going to put the sailboat on the market. We are at the point that sailing is just too much work. We are thinking about a fifth wheel and being “summer birds” and spending some summer time up north.
A beautiful flower. I have never seen another rose with quite those colors.
Thanks Ratty, and I haven’t seen one like this before either. :dontknow:
A gorgeous selection!
It sure is! I love the colors in this new rose. :awe:
oh, that is lovely! The garden center is my weakness–I, too, love to buy a new plant for the garden each year. I had an excuse to buy a few more this year as we lost a few perennials due to the drought last summer. Aw, rats. :yea:
We love our gardens. I wish I could do more of the work in them, but that’s mostly in the past. Sorry that you lost your plants, but at least you were able to buy replacements. :frolic: :frolic:
It does have a lot of color variations deeming it worthy of its name. That’s a gorgeous flower.
We have been delighted with this new rose. Sylvia did make an excellent choice, didn’t she? :awe:
