First year Queen of Sweden. It is one of the three Austin I bought from Wayside Garden big sale. I like this rose. I received the sale roses with mold on them and I gave them the best care a rose can ask for. This one progresses very good. Queen of Shalott is medium development and Teasing Georgia only has one tiny green cane right now.

Comments (3)Beautiful, as ever, Joyce! There are always a few plants you have that I want! Is the first Passiflora 'Lady Margaret'? The Egret flower is neat! I thought your Viola was a V. koreana, but I see 'Syletta' is a cultivar. Love the look of that one too! I think my Acidanthera bloomed in March or April. Is it normal for yours to bloom at this time? Hope you had a nice vacation! ~Rosemarie...See MoreMondays blooms part 1
Comments (17)CHRIS.I believe the last additions to my yard was AUGUST last year, a couple had not bloomed yet, and LAST REWARD was one of them. JULIA: CELEBRATION OF ANGELS has sepals/peddles almost a white, not cream.It seems to be whiter now on reblooms then it was originally. its a beautiful daylily. ANN, part two is above. you must have missed it. DEBRA, Right,HOT LAVA didnt melt in the sun yesterday and this morning, it was still looking at me, unlike the others that had turned to mush by morning.it handles the heat really good.I am going to hat it when it blooms out these few buds it has on rebloom scape,as it onlt has the one rebloom scape. I am hoping it grows another one after it takes a litle rest. jean...See MoreApril-May 2016 Blooms - part 1
Comments (18)Thank you everyone. I enjoy looking at photos of your roses and gardens and it is a pleasure to share my rose photos with all of you. I bought Love Song standard from Regan early this year and it has been amazing like everyone has said. Huntington Rose blooms are only a bit over 3" but I really like the globular form of the blooms. I also bought it bare root from Regan this year. My Olivia Rose Austins gave beautiful blooms in spring but have only been producing a few tiny blooms (1.5" - 2") since the weather gets hot. I think when the weather gets cooler, it will produce more blooms and bigger blooms. My Ebb Tide looks like it's growing near the top of the fence because it's a 36" standard. I have both hybrid tea standards and floribunda standards and floribunda standards often look better than hybrid tea standards. The red standard is Preference and it is a strong healthy rose and blooms non-stop. Helen...See MoreApril-May 2016 Blooms - part 2
Comments (16)Thank you everyone and sorry for late response. Things have been hectic. Henrik, I ordered Candice from a US branch of Ludwig's Rose in Arizona http://www.ludwigsroses.com/shop/product/candice-89?page=6 Dave, I'm sorry about your infestation of leaf roller caterpillars. Maybe other experienced rose gardeners here can give some suggestions on how to deal with it. One of the things I like most about sharing rose photos is some of us for one reason or another cannot have/see a certain rose, we still can enjoy the beautiful blooms from our garden friends in this forum. Judy, thank you for the kind words. I'm inspired by the gorgeous gardens of you, your sister-in-law, Sharlene and others and just removed the grass section in my backyard and plan to make it look as pretty as the gardens I have seen here. I will need advices from you soon :) Carol, this is the 2nd year of my Jubilee Celebration. It is a wonderful rose, big long lasting blooms, bloomming often in the heat, nice fragrance, great disease resistance for my area, etc. Because the blooms are big and have multiple petals, the law of gravity kicks in so the blooms droop a lot. It is hard to admire a bloom when you have a short bush and the blooms droop so close to the ground. So my way of working around this problem is potting it. It adds height to the plant and when the blooms droop it creates a very nice effect around the pot. I'm sorry about your Rock & Roll. I think you should try it again. It has everything one could wish for in a rose. Irisgal, love your comments :) I feel the same. A photo of Eden rose got me interested in climbing roses. So even for my small garden I have three Eden. Many times I asked myself maybe I bit more than I can chew, lol. Helen...See MoreIngrida
