More Roses

Dr. Huey. I find this rose all over the place. Unfortunately, it’s because Dr. Huey is or was a favorite root stock for grafted roses. When the graft dies (as it mostly does in the cheaper roses), Dr. Huey shows it’s face. In my travels around our local area, I see it it many gardens, though I doubt that most folks realize the significance of it

And the unusual. Green Rose. The blooms are made up entirely of sepals instead of petals. The blossoms are green with a touch of red on occasion

Eileen’s knee continues to improve. Dinner tonight in Portland without the crutch. Still some pain, but we’re both beginning to believe that the injury was less than it could have been. She has an appointment on July 10 with the surgeon to check on progress.

Tiny bit of work on shawl this morning. Only 1/2 a round (though that’s over 500 stitches) completed before I headed out to the pile of hay that still needs to be moved. Day off today and another tomorrow before a full weekend of work.
