My hardy rose that I wrote about previously has just had its first bloom open.  I was so excited to see buds on these plants!!!  I had been contemplating fertilizing them.  But it was 100+ degrees outside, and had been for awhile.  Most things that I read say NOT to fertilize in the high heat of the summer.  I posted this question, about feeding these roses, on the forums.  I came to the decision to use my liquid, organic fish fertilizer...do it after the plants were shaded...and use the watering can.  I also used the sprinkler on low to kind of water in the fertilizer a little.  There are a 4 or 5 buds on the plants now.   I am so excited and I hope with continued care they will do well.

Pretty pink....I love pink.

Here is a picture of the bloom more open.
