Road Roses!

June is the traditional month for wild roses, but later in the summer,

a nice little phenomenon* occurs. Along the side of the road,

more little wild roses start blooming. I like to call these "road roses"

and the last few mornings, I've been picking a few to press.

Some of them are even the vivid pink that is especially desirable

for framed arrangements .

and there are still more coming...
