September has started, but it's still very hot here. Even so, some of my roses have been blooming. Every time they create buds in the summer, I wonder I should let them bloom or not. When they bloom this time, they might not bloom again in the fall.

When I see some buds on the roses that look weakened from heat, I tend to pinch them off. I don't want to put too much stress on them or make them sick. On the other hand, I let the roses which look healthy bloom. So, all the roses in these pictures look healthy despite the heat, and I'm happy to let them bloom.

Especially, this variety has been blooming a lot, and I wonder if it'll bloom again in the fall. I need to take good care of this one to make it bloom again.

The surprising thing is my Japanese wisteria bloomed in the summer! The flowers don't look as pretty as in the spring, but I still appreciate them.
