It must be spring
Comments (4)Kate, I'll be sure to do that. I need to get my photos organized and out where I can post them for viewing. That's good to hear about QoS. Her pictures are so gorgeous I don't know how anyone can resist her....See MoreTell your experiences with non-hybrid tea type roses
Comments (18)Sara-Ann, Another thing I thought of with Austins. In the light pinks there are many look-alikes. And white-based pinks vs. yellow-based pinks. Cameras can make the first appear to be the second. That's a question to ask if you have a preference. And it never occurred to me that Austins can have 6 small flower buds each on 4 upright stems on a main stem. Duh. But until I saw 'Windermere' it hadn't occurred to me. Here is one of my lusts growing over 5 ft. with multi mini candelabras atop a long stem. For a bouquet I have to cut one of the candelabras with buds tightly closed and opened?! I also cooled on 'Queen of Sweden' for that reason. I love my 'Apricot Nectar' sprays but those 2 Austins ..... maybe it was the formality and rigidity of how the buds/flowers were held that didn't ring my chimes. Growth habit (Austin) was the biggest adjustment for me. I still love the sculptured beauty of a hybrid tea bud but Austins in the blended pink/peach tones make me swoon....See MoreSome David Austin Blooms
Comments (15)I love seeing all the blooms! It is nice to see real photos as on hang tags the colors are sometimes more brilliant and I prefer the real life ones, such as on Jude the Obscure. I love that David Austin is a Thomas Hardy fan, despite my lessening aversion to bright roses I had to get Tess of the d'Urbervilles because of the name! Teasing Georgia is one of my favorites because she is like a great big spider, putting canes out wherever she feels like! Thank you for your pictures!...See MoreLatest Lovelies
Comments (8)Lovely blooms. Miss seeing my SEXY REXY. Mine's buried under a bunch of underplantings that overgrew it! Haven't gotten to that bed yet... Nice to see yours!!...See Morethe_bustopher z6 MO
