    At a time of the year when the roses in the UK are all but finished, it's nice to see some roses in full bloom. Here's the winning HT from a show in Santa Clarita, just a few miles north of Los Angeles Santa_Clarita_HT.jpg

    Also in LA, in Whittier is a rose trials ground where the American Rose Society try out new roses; here's a few from yesterday:

        I'm lucky all mine are still in bloom.

        Love the 1st and 7th ones - any idea what they are?

        Most are just labelled with a number as it's supposed to be an anonymous trial. There are also a few beds of previous winners
