Roses
When I think of a
cottage garden, the first flower that comes to mind is the rose. This rose is my newest. My son gifted this to me last Christmas and it was planted in February. I am quite thrilled that it is growing so well and already producing roses. it is Pierre de Ronsard or Eden.
What cottage garden
would be complete without one or two…
Or as in my case 42 –
with 29 varieties.
I have been working on
a garden plan to relocate and group
my garden better. The first
flowers I mapped out were my roses. I discovered actually how many I had and
the number of these roses that are
mystery roses.
I have several because
much of these are pass-along and some of these were here when we moved in.
Out of the 29
varieties – 11 are a mystery to me.
I am going to
photograph, examine
each rose and attempt to identify them.
each rose and attempt to identify them.
I just adore the soft
pinky-peach color to this rose.
The small bush, with
draping branches is quite full
of these blossoms.
Within this rose I find
shades of pink, peach and yellow.
It has a lovely
fragrance as well.
To me, this rose is so
romantic.
aren't the droplets of dew enchanting! Like a string of pearls! |
It has a
lanky-rambling growth – it seems to send shoots underground.
I love the
multi-petaled rose with its
Deep rose color. It is
full of buds now with just a few in bloom.
This rose, is quite
delicate. It is susceptible to Powdery Mildew.
I'll post more pictures of this one when the blooms open |
It has clusters of tiny
extremely multi-petaled roses. It appears to be a small climber.
Do any of these look
familiar to you?
