Also known as moss roses - flowers that enjoy today's 95F. heat more than I. I've always like mixed moss roses because you never which colors will be blooming each day.

Those are pretty blooms, Kathy. I don't remember seeing these kind of roses before.

My mother always had moss plants and they were beautiful Kathy. I didn't know their name, just that they were moss. She planted some in a cast iron kettle that reminded me of a witches brew pot. It was a beautiful sight to behold.
If they got thick enough, they would choke out the weeds. I liked that about them. Plus they didn't require a lot of TLC.
Super shot.

Colorful and lovely moss roses well captured Kathy. So good that they can try to compete with roses.

Kathy, I had them in a sunny border in my garden. If they were given some water in time, they would hold out in the heat where other flowers had already succumbed. I think they could last for so long in these conditions because of the succulent-like leaves that provide moisture storage.
Your beautiful photo does justice to these wonderful moss roses.
