Here is a subject that rarely gets mentioned on the trees and shrubs forum: roses. Here is an interesting species rose I've grown for a few years now, Rosa glauca. It is grown mainly for its bluish foliage, which is retained through the full summer. I really like it. It is different and understated and carries itself with a dignified charm.
These are not the best pictures, but they are the best I could do. For three weeks now I've tried to get a decent shot of this plant. The leaves are so thin that I think the infra-red focusing passes right through, so every shot has been out of focus. Tonight, however, the gods looked down on me in favor I guess.
