It Opens Itself

If the rose is
a beautiful flower
it is also because
it opens itself.
...Charles De Leusse

I cut all the blooms off, in the middle of May, due to a Japanese Beetle infestation. After being sprayed with an oil insecticide, the beetles are all gone and the blooms are back!

So glad your bushes recovered. This is lovely.

Thank you for taking the time to view my photo and leave kind comments. I was so happy the prolific blooms returned, minus the beetles, flying around and in every rose. Now I only see a honey bee or ladybug. :)

These are beautiful!

How exciting to have your blooms back. So glad the beetles are gone and you have your beautiful roses again.
