Étoile de Feu and Sunday Rose Portraits

I have been enjoying my little pernetiana rose, Étoile de Feu, very much lately.



At three and a half years old, it has finally matured enough to dazzle me with some amazing blooms.



 I am becoming convinced that, unlike many roses which shut down in summer, pernetianas thrive in the heat and sunshine. These blooms of Étoile de Feu show richer colors and a higher petal count compared to spring.



Although I have seen a few vermilion blooms like the one in the picture above, most blooms start terracota orange....



... and fade to lovely sunset colors. One of my favorite roses.



To make up for another long absence, here is a quick tour of some rare beauties blooming at the Heritage now. I hope you like them.
