This is a Sally Holmes rose blooming in our backyard right now. The delicate colors don't last for long, but they're lovely while they're around.

Lovelier in this photo than in some commercial ones I looked at; more color here, almost like an old Peace rose combination of pale yellow to peach, than a white climbing rose with yellow center.

A very pretty rose and very nearly as interesting as Ribes speciosum.....

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
