Rescued the last few survivors

I have 10 rosebushes and they currently have zero roses in total.

These are the last remaining three.

It’s been a combination of a lot of rain, and a lot of gray days. The roses, that started out this season healthy and plentiful, are now just sparse, bare and pitiful looking.

It usually takes a lot longer than this for the rose garden to go downhill. It usually happens around the end of summer, when the roses just kind of give up. It takes all their energy just to survive the hot days.

This weekend, or whenever it stops raining so much, everyone’s going to get a little peptalk ..... come on. You can do it. Let’s get some more blooms going.  A pep talk in the form of some fertilizer.
