Oh My!

I can’t imagine a rose garden without a red rose somewhere. Well, actually, several red roses spread throughout the garden. Oh My! is a beautiful and bright specimen, whether you are up close or viewing it from the street.

This bush is along my west fence, and its blooms reach out to tease my neighbors as they pass. I have two Oh My! rose bushes. I bought the second one in 2024 when I thought I may have killed the first one. Apparently, sometimes the rose just needs to be in a different location. Now I have one in full sun and another in partial shade. Both have grown to about five feet tall this season, and their branches are full of fabulous blooms.
