The wild roses are beginning to bud and soon the rosy pink blossoms will be attracting bees.

Wild Rose Bud

On my walk over towards the Upper Falls on the Amnicon River, there was some wild roses blooming adding patches of pink here and there.

Wild Rose Blossom

A small patch of pink waved at me when I was mowing today. The first wild rose blossom opened up during this first week of June.

First Wild Rose

As I was mowing today, I noticed the first of the wild roses had opened up, which to me signals that summer has started.

Season’s First Wild Rose

Even with the sun out, on a late fall day there isn’t much color to be found without flowers blooming. The pink of wild roses can be seen in the summer but even their colors are only displayed a short time before they fade and drop their petals on the ground.

Summer Wild Rose

A sign that summer is approaching in the north, is when the wild roses begin to start to open up and those blossoms add more pink to the road ditches along with the wild geraniums.

Wild Roses Arriving

Although still wet from the rain, at least a few blossoms of the wild rose survived after the storm, but many didn’t as lot of pink petals were decorating the ground.
