Crepescule in the rain

15 years ago

For the last 2 days it's been raining here (ususual this time of year) and Crepescule's color becomes accentuated. I took lots of pictures and wanted to post some!

Stunning. I love how in the rain/clouds the color becomes almost iridescent.

Thanks for sharing, wow!

Hi M. Manners, Thanks for your reply! Cecile Brunner will be on my list. I had Mrs. B.R. Cant, and lost it...most likely my fault, I'm still a rose newbie. The Sombreuil I have is the climber, it's lovely but it hasn't taken off just yet- maybe this year. The form of that rose is so lovely.

Get some real butter and sugar and cream it together. That is the color of Celine Forestier. (Sometimes a little lighter, sometimes a little darker, but that pretty much is the exact color.) Now take that butter and sugar and make some cookies and sit down with warm cookies and milk and comtemplate your roses. Isn't this the best response you've gotten today? ;-) The buds start out with a pink blush on the outside as they open--made me think I'd gotten the wrong rose at first--then open into perfectly wonderful blooms. If I was strictly looking for a foliage plant, it might not be my first choice, but it's good enough for my front porch railing. The leaves are a lighter green with a matte finish. I may end up planting a clematis to grow in amongst it just for fun, but it's a really nice plant. If you look closely you might find a leaf or 2 with some blackspot, or maybe a hint of powdery mildew, and I don't spray. Sounds like it either likes your conditions or it doesn't. Maybe it's just in a sweet spot in my yard, but I've had absolutely no winter dieback, and it has the potential to become a beast. Right now it's my only noisette, but it's so nice I might try to squeeze in another.

Hi everyone, Never thought of root stock problems Cimmaron but one came from Vic. I think the other came from a nursery at Mt Tamborine and they grow beautiful roses up there. I agree with Tom, Janine. Mine didn't get much TLC but it flowered all the time. I would grow it again for its winter flowers which are magical - nothing like those of summer. In fact I thought someone had swapped roses when I first saw them. The rose was much larger and full, petals were almost transparent in soft lemon and it was like the rose had dressed up for a ball. I wasn't so impressed with the scent but that is variable in different climates and conditions. My only disappointment was that our winter here comes and goes in spurts and I am sure I missed seeing it at its best.

Ever since I moved into this house I've had Cape Gooseberries volunteering themselves all over the place. I don't care for the fruit personally, but they are magnets to the silver eyes, so I leave a few here and thereito draw them in. The ones that come up in awkward spots are easy enough to pull up. http://www.birdsinbackyards.net/species/Zosterops-lateralis

Huttnem, those pictures are absolutely beautiful. I especially love the fourth one with the misty look.
Crepuscule, what a great rose and yours is about as good as it gets. Thanks for posting.

Thank you everyone for your sweet comments- I appreciate them all.
I didn't realize your could access my photostream, duchesse. Thanks for letting me know and glad you were able to visit.

Today was the 3rd day of rain and the color was even more unearthly. I went out and Crepescule looked droopy but her color was glowing and golden. Here are some additional pics. Hope you like them and hope I am not taking up too much bandwidth...

huttnem, I thought I'd mention it because I opened a flickr account the other day and realized that if I clicked on a picture that I posted from that account the "lookee" had access to the account. I opened the account as "public" which is why I think others have access to it. It's kind of unnerving, so I thought I'd tell you. I didn't really know if you wanted me to look or not, so I thought I'd better mention it. You have a beautiful garden!

Gean, thanks for the info about Flickr. Last year I emailed the link to a set of photos but didn't know the whole photostream could be accessed that easily. When I recently dowloaded an app from flickr that makes uploads faster, I think I must have set the the permissions to public. As long as links can still access my sets on Flickr, maybe I don't need Public access.

Thanks Krista and Gean for your very nice comments. My garden actually seems bigger in my photos but it is actually a postage stamp. One day (hopefully while I am still physically capable of taking care of it) I hope to get a move to a house with a bigger yard.

btw I just realized I spelled it wrong. :~(
It's CrepUscule not crepescule. Thanks to those in this thread who spelled it correctly!
