As I’ve been reviewing some photos that I’ve never posted to the blog – I realized there are lots of photographs of roses that I’ve never shared with you. So here are a few to brighten your day.

First – some Day Breaker Roses. Day Breaker Roses are a hybrid floribunda rose bred by Gareth Fryer. They were introduced in the US in 2004. They are hardy from zones 6b through 9b. It was a 2004  All America Rose Selections (AARS) Winner.

Next, a lovely yellow Julia Child Rose. Julia Child is a floribunda rose chosen by the award winning chef. It was bred by Tom Carruth and is a 2006 AARS Winner.

And finally a Tahitian Sunset Rose. Tahitian Sunset is a hybrid tea rose. It was bred by Keith Zary, and like the Julia Child Rose – is a 2006 AARS Winner.

I hope these roses have helped brighten your day. You can see more of my rose photos in my Roses Video on YouTube.
