Are these the Queen of Flowers.???

20 years ago

So many Roses are flowering at present, all different colours, shapes and sizes.

No favourites here each one very special in its own way, I love them all

Such a shame I cannot bring the overpowering ones into the house.

So I planted them all in view of my kitchen and dining areas where I can see them all.

Cheers...MM........

I have read that florists raised forced, potted roses for the holidays. Often, they were ramblers which had been pruned heavily to make topiaries covered in flowers. Of course, it was much later than this (mid to late fifties), but when I was a small child, my great grandmother grew huge Boston Ferns and a number of potted palms in her living and dining rooms in Birmingham, Alabama. Winter months, there were forced potted azaleas in the huge stone planters in those rooms. Spring and summer, the ferns went out in the huge stone planters on her porches. Kim

Good for you! Lovely! I too have realized what a difference the summer outdoors does - many of my older bulbs are close to expiring they are so small, but the newer ones that summered outside get nice and fat, and reward me with blooms.

Does anyone have a photo of their Snow Queen nectarine flowers? Monrovia has a photo of double showy flowers, but my Snow Queen has simple single flowers. Will the real Snow Queen please stand up?? Carla in Sac

Fantastic presentation Marion! Very impressive. Good choices for Queensland too. You will have to order some old ones next year and maybe some David Austin's to add to your collection.

Cheers,

Hi everyone well the 36 degree heat yesterday was a little too much for them, so I was up early this morning at 4:30 tripping around in the pre-dawn as we are only allowed to water up till 7am on three mornings and after 7pm on the same evenings a week, otherwise its the bucket, too many mozzies in the evening anyway I dont like watering at that time, having enough trouble with BS and Mildew now with out encouraging more.

Coolyoda Mary Rose is the only David Austin I have it is flowering so much better this year,as it is one of the ones I transplanted out the the all day Sun.

Greencroc looking forward to all your Pics.

Michelle yes all that hard work has paid off I am really happy about their growth so much better than last year, but like I said up top a lot have been moved.

Kevarose I create my Collage's of roses in the free program from Picasa you can download it from the link below.

Thanks everyone....Cheers..MM.
