I know the tea rose bushes climbing along the fence are quite old and have probably been here since the house was built (at least 50 years ago is my guess). Every year, I wait for them to bloom because there has been a lot of cross-pollination of pink and purple blossoms in all that time. I have been curious about their names and it took a while, but I think I found the names of both types. The purple ones are called 'Belle de Crecy' and the pink ones are, ironically enough, 'American Pillar'.
I'm pretty sure that these won't be the last that you will see of them.
Such beautiful flowers !! This color makes me happy !!

The Roses are all beautiful and certainly are a great age. Betty, I am just off to MAlawi now and the news is good. Allhtough everyone (car crash) has whiplash and DAniel left side of his face looks like he has one 10 ounds with M Ali, they are OK. The Cure Hospital are leaning us a car to make out planned trip to Zambia so that is wonderful news. I know I will NOT have internet there but while away I will read posts (when I can and internet permits) but am NOT commenting. I have schedduled all my posts in. Have a lovely Christmas.
