This evening we held our third open garden event of the Summer, and hopefully it won't be the last. Mike C was the host today, and attendees were a mix of old-time rose growers as well as a couple of aspiring newcomers. Even after a long string of, shall we say,
ABOVE average hot days, Mike's roses still looked pretty decent because they're watered daily. The photos below capture the scene; the second photo was taken by a guest photographer -- Maryann.
