Rhodes and Roses in bloom

I know I said I wasn't going to make this a garden blog, but the flowers are just so beautiful. Here's a close up of the purple and red rhododendron's. We've had so much rain they have turned brown and not stayed pretty very long. I'm glad I have these pictures for screen savers!
We decided when we moved in to make a border on the property with bush roses. They ended up not being pretty for much of the year, but right now and for the next six weeks they will look like this!
Here's a picture of the whole row of roses. . .
I have to end with a stunning close up!
