As we sojourned along our way from the Carolina’s to the Houston area to assist survivors of Hurricane Harvey, my husband I and spent the night in Tyler, Texas so that I could enjoy Tyler Municipal Rose Garden’s 4, 000 rose bushes. The heat was palpable this particular September day; nevertheless, I still managed to photograph many remarkable roses while a mockingbird sang over me.

I’m calling this shot “purple rain” because I don’t know the name of this stunning rose.

These roses were photographed at the nursery of Heirloom Roses in Oregon. They are called “Lady of the Mist”. I just so happen to stop by there right after it rained. I just love the drops on the petals.


This beautiful rose in hues of purple and pink is known as “Ingrid Rose”. I love it how the petal’s edges appear to be outlined in white.
