Half a ton of photos!

After posting quite a few garden shots, I decided to show you some of the close-ups. Please enjoy!
Marina

Perennial Blue - outstanding rambler! Sweet fragrance, huge clusters of blooms! Yummy.

A European 'novelty' - Art Nouveau - very ornate

A fragment of a larger flower bed - you can see Three Weddings, Frau Eva Schubert, Rush and Purple Skyliner

Stunning Ferdy! Literally, you can not see the leaves! And, it does rebloom in the fall

Delicate beauty of Astronomia

Ghislaine de Feligonde which is trying to eat an oak tree :)

My beloved Baltimore Belle!

Rosanna, one of the top-performing climbers

A repeat-blooming sister of Raubritter - Angela

Paul Barden's Allegra

Almost missed my Alchymist, it was almost done blooming. Finally, after six years of growing it, I built a nice trellis for it. I hope next spring it will really show off!

Neat, almost perfect flowers of Austin's Lady Salisbury

Star of the Republic is simply stunning this year

Geschwind's Shoenste paired with Lamb's Ears

Breathtaking bloom of Leda

My Pomponella 'on steroids' :)

Yummy colors of Star of the Nile

Oh my! I have so many more, but it's time to stop for now :)
Once again, thank you for looking!

OH--Art Nouveau is wonderful. I want, I want!

And Ghislaine de Feligonde is grand--let her eat up that tree!

And those pics of Alchemist--exquisite! But then, so many of those pics are amazingly beautiful.

And your Pompenella on steroids--I just planted one this spring and hope mine is even half as prolific as yours.

Love 'em all, Marina!

That's a good story about your nephew, very cute! With the neem, if you decide to use it, please use it as soon as you get the plants home and do not wait to see aphids on the plants. I have used neem (only Safer's Bio-Neem) quite a bit the past 2 years and I have found it to be not very effective at pest control if the pest population has gotten to the stage where colonization has already occurred (aphids and several other pests colonize) or where the pests have already found my plant(s) in large numbers (japanese beetles are a pest that emits a chemical signature that indicates to other beetles miles away that a food source has been found). Where I have found Neem to be very effective is as a preventative on plants I have repeatedly had pest problems with in prior years. I always have Japanese beetles on my grapes, always have slugs on my hostas and always have Mexican bean beetles on my beans etc. Neem prevents the initially small aphid problem from becoming a colony and it prevents the Japanese beetle 'scouts' from ever emitting the signal that says 'hey 10 million of my best friends, I am fat and happy, come join me at the buffet!' In other words I have found Neem is great as a preventative and not so great as a curative. I even found it effective against slugs eating my hostas when I applied it as soon as the spear emerged from the ground. In summary, if you choose to use neem, use it before you see aphids.

Oh, I'd love to go to their pre-move yard sale! Especially if she decided to part with some of those dishes. I collect midi-1800s Mulberry & I can see a couple pieces in the china cabinet..... I also saw stuff and wondered why she would allow photos of some of it to be included in the listing. I guess she doesn't realize that someone may be watching her house to steal some of it. Some of the 1st things that got packed up were my valuable collectibles.

Talk about memories! The cardex filing system one brought a chuckle. My first job out of school used those for scheduling the stuff. What a hassle! And then every year having to print up new cards, replace them all and write the item on each one for literally tens of thousands of items! The Apple II was just coming out when I was leaving there but a co-worker and I started setting up a program on it. Now I'm sure everything is computerized. Although much of the stuff is now obsolete anyway I suppose! And all the great Christmas pictures too.

Love the ready made posies on Perennial Blue .
The perfume in your garden must be mind blowing.
Who needs oak trees, with Ghislaine de Feligonde around?
What a lovely looking rose "bounty."
Looking forward to the "many more"

As usual your roses are stunning, with so many interesting varieties, and great, big blooming bushes and ramblers. Please keep posting, it's such a pleasure.

Yummy!!! Ferdy and Alchymist are outstanding! I have them both, but still in 1g pots...makes me want to get them in the ground asap! Also your GdF is HUGE!!! I thought mine was big, but its only half the size of yours eating the oak tree (mine is slowly eating my fence).

Lady Salisbury I'm not familiar with, but love it!

Awed! That's the only word to describe how I feel after seeing these, Marina! You have more blooms on any one of those plants than I can hope for in my whole garden for a whole season!

I would love to stroll through your yard, too many beauties to even begin to choose a favorite! I truly envy your collection!
Completely jealous of your Ghislaine de Feligonde which is trying to eat your oak tree! Stunning!

Beautiful as always Marina! Love that ART NOUVEAU! And what a gorgeous thing that ALCHEMIST is. Too bad it doesn't repeat, huh?

Only one word says it for me "WOW". I'm a modern rose grower so am not used to seeing the lush beauties of other types in such profusion. The only thing that holds me back is all the deadheading you must have to do. Lots of work I'm sure, But still - WOW!....Maryl

I don't have enough time to write everything I would like to say, so I will just say a few things. Geschwind's Shoenste paired with Lamb's Ears is a breathtaking combination. Now I will have to copy that. The photo of a large flower bed- ahhhh. Your roses are some of my favorites- and I have never seen them in such profusion before. Alchymist, Pomponella- yours are the prettiest ever. Thank you for the photographs- I will return again and again.

I was so happy to find this thread to thrill me during our gloom of late November. And I wasn't disappointed in what I found...a fabulous pictorial walk through your garden in its spring flush. I love the lacy masses of flowers in the Three Weddings--Purple Skyliner bed. The roses' frothy blooms blend beautifully with the airy Baby's Breath(?). Ghislaine is a wonder--I think the oak had better surrender to her. And I have to mention Alchymist's arresting color which is incredible. Thanks for the walk, Marina. Can we have another stroll through your glorious garden now that it's so cold and dreary up here in the north? Diane

Marina has the most incredible garden. It's a shame that she doesn't seem to be posting any more. I really miss seeing her beautiful roses, of which this is only a small selection.

Marina, your roses are stunningly beautiful. Your pic of "Rosanna" made me purchase it - I can only hope that mine will grow up to be as stunning as yours! LOL. Please tell me where you purchased "Ferdy" - another stunning rose!! Actually, all of your roses are beautiful. :-) I also saved this link.
