Yes, my roses are still blooming, having taken a pause during the hottest weeks of August and September and now producing a cool-weather flush of fall blossoms. This never ceases to surprise me, as I grew up in New England where one just doesn’t get outdoor roses blooming in late November. I went out yesterday to gather a few blooms before we got a lot of rain and wind, and I’m really enjoying them, few as they are. I always plant roses with a lot of fragrance; these are all David Austin roses, which are bred for scent among other characteristics.

A few English Roses

Among many other blessings, I’m thankful for my garden and the ability to keep adding to it. Would now be the time to mention that I’ve ordered several more roses?

I wish you all a happy and fragrant Thanksgiving!

  1. I have several rose bushes, and a couple were producing a bloom here and there the first part of November. I also picked a handful of raspberries. It just boggled my mind. Yes, now is a great time to tell us you are ordering more roses because then we can at least think about gardening. 🙂 Your arrangement is beautiful, and Happy Thanksgiving to you also.
