There are a lot of flowers so I had to do this over a period of a couple of days. To see other bloggers, blooms...Click HERE for May Dreams Gardens. I have well over 100 rose bushes so I did not label/or take individual pictures of them all.

I have a tree that has tiny magnolias in it. My mother suggested removing the tree. But it is pretty in bloom. It is the tallest tree in the rose garden.

Wow! I'm overwhelmed looking at all those roses!
Other blooms pretty, too! I am rather fond of Moss Rose- such a sturdy little plant with so many beautiful colors.
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

I have yet to figure out moss roses. Moss roses are in my rose books but those aren't these...they open about once a day when the sun hits them and they are annuals if I don't put them in the greenhouse.
Moss roses in the rose books are a real rose, very old with a mossy growth on the sepals and stems.
Rose moss annual is Portulaca, not related to roses are all but called moss rose/rose moss because the flowers look like little roses. I don't know why it's called moss. It comes from South America, great for hot dry areas.
Thanks Nell...I knew they were called Moss roses but I knew they were not roses....
WOW! I have to admit - when we bought our house (upstate New York) years ago, there were two rose bushes - we ended up taking them both out because the Japanese Beetles were so bad, and we do not use inorganic pesticides. I have never seen many of these roses. You have quite a collection.
Beautiful! I love blue girl. I feel like I can smell her even when I look at pictures of her!
@bookworm...I definitely took on an ambitious project with the huge rose garden. I have been gardening barely over a year...the one thing I learned is that if you are going to plant a lot of plants, especially high maintenance plants like roses...group them. I do have to deal with pests...I have used sprays but not sure if their effectiveness. I do think the Bayer Advanced all in one helps...and I want to say coffee grounds do to...can you imagine being a bug eating a coffee ground?
@Nadia...I looked up if they actually had a blue rose...which is the holy grail of colors for roses and it appears that they do not...I think this is odd since there are purples..you would think that blue would be possible..and it might be...blue girl is a lavender looking rose....but it does appear a bit blue in the picture...its really a pink purple..
Wow...I've never seen so many roses in one garden before...happy Bloom Day!
@scott...I seem to have an obsession with having different types of roses...this back rose bed will probably act as my trial gardens for the rest of the property.
