A few new blooms from this morning
Comments (2)When my Blossom Peacock bloomed for the first time (4 years ago) it was the color of yours since them it has always bloomed a soft pink..pretty, but I think I'd like it a bit darker like yours..and I really love Cherry Nymph..it's a big flower and they don't all come out at once (for me anyway) but it's a great grower......See MoreTiny bulbs
Comments (10)I saw it...you asked how I get my bulbs so big! Since these were all new bulbs, the answer was simply - buy from Royal Colors. But, now you were really asking, "What can I do to make my bulbs bigger and grow to their max potential...they seem to be shrinking!" The answer to that one is a little more complex. My bulbs are outside from early spring (after last frost) up until October. They get lots of water and fertilizer. When bulbs are blooming, it's not unusual to see them shrink a little (almost like the outside layer comes undone from the rest of the bulb), but not at the end of the growing season. We are in cooler weather now, so are you withholding water? Did you pull them up to rest, etc? Really, without knowing what you've done (or not done) it's hard to say why they are smaller. Please provide some more details and we'll do our best to help you. K...See MoreA few blooms from this morning
Comments (8)Alisha and Delaney sisters are my favs of your roses!! I've always wondered what a close up of Elizabeth of Glamis looks like. I quite like that rose too. The shape of Delaney Sisters reminds me of Peace. Is Peace one of the parents? Carol...See MoreEureka & Friends
Comments (14)Thanks le jardin, The peachy one is Abraham Darby in various stages. He has been prolific this year. I'm really liking WS2000. He's still pretty young (new for me last year)and I'm still such a neophyte that it's a challenge for me to mold his youthful gangliness into my vision for the space. Colorwise, he seems to open much as you described tending more to a purplish side of red and then seems to mature to more red. I have him then a Gertrude Jekyl and then The Prince. WS is much redder than TP. Carol, with each year I grow fonder and fonder of Braithwaite. I have a number of reds but for me none of them compare. I'd guess those two blooms are a week to 10 days old. I let a couple of those canes against the fence of Abes grow taller like that just so I can see them from farther away in different parts of the garden. Some roses look better on the bush, some much better in a vase. LDB definitely excels all by herself :-)...See More
