Rose hips and rose garden panorama

My Rose Blog: http://www.mikesroses-salem.blogspot.com/ This video begins with a look at rose hips currently ripening on a hybrid tea rose named 'Voodoo' -- to produce the hips, the rose was open pollinated. Here in the Pacific Northwest (the garden is in Salem, Oregon), rose hips need to ripen from early summer to very late fall to get viable seeds. The video continues with a view of the rose garden. Three pink flamingos have been "staged" in front of three 'Queen Elizabeth' grandiflora roses. All of the other rose bushes (59 of them) in this large bed were grown from seeds -- some from 'Voodoo', some from 'Queen Elizabeth', and some from German roses (see video entitled "German rose seedlings along driveway"). As of today (10/03/2010) all of the seedling bushes are less than 3 years old. The "birthday" of the earliest was 1/23/2008 and the most recent was 4/16/2010.
