La Reine vs. Reine Victoria
Comments (30)Bourbons. Such divas! They love our gardens and fulfill our wildest Victorian dreams or they tease us with slow progress and stingy blooms until the very last of our patience is burned out and then finally build up enough presence to erupt into the grandest show in the garden or they sulk while offering just enough meager crumbs of sumptuous and deeply fragrant beauty to keep us hooked and stay our shovels or they simply succumb to blackspot or harsh winters and turn up their prissy little toes after a few years. When they love us and our gardens, they get bigger and better every year and toss around cascades of blooms like those Krista receives for her tender care. Time will tell what each of yours does, Magpie. :-) Carol Zephirine...See MoreShow your roses by color: PINK
Comments (41)Some more beauties! Kristine, that's such a lovely picture of Tournament of Roses, I had that one years ago, makes me want it again. Modestgodess, you have some beauties also, especially Summer Romance and First Crush! Anna, I think they are both good roses. I got Memorial Day last year, it's a bloomin' machine, and the fragrance is wonderful! I've always been fond of Bewitched, but I have to admit I've had trouble with mine recently, those lovely blooms make me not want to give up on it though, I've grown it since the early 2000's. and until about three years ago it was one of my favorites. Memorial Day is probably the better rose, but I do think my Bewitched can do better....See MoreAccentuating the positive
Comments (17)The real excitement and anticipation is beginning! This is a picture of a small part of MME ERNEST CALVAT, it’s about five feet wide and about that tall and of course has buds like this all over it. My Hybrid Teas and Floribundas are really starting to do their thing, my Julia Child looks really healthy and is putting on new growth and my little Pope John Paul II looks like it’s getting quite few buds and getting new growth. Looks really good. My Beverly and Poseidon look like they’re going to have lots of buds and some of the other bushes that were setting on buds several weeks ago that got zapped by the Cold: Easy Does It, Peace, Belinda’s Dream, Marchesa Boccella, Twilight Zone, Aloha, etc. are doing their thing again. I guess a little set back doesn’t hurt, I’m just excited, things are looking good....See MoreTie for “first to open”
Comments (12)Oooo! Darcey Bussell. Pretty! :-) I think the fluctuating temps/frosts this spring set us back on several. But here are some of ours that have just opened: LAVENDER VERANDACUPCAKE BURGUNDY ICEBERG DIAMOND EYES MUNSTEAD WOODS GLAMIS CASTLE HEIRLOOM And ROYALE JUBILEE isn’t open yet, but covered in buds! eeeee! :-) There are a lot of others with buds. We even have multiple buds on Florentina and Alexander McKenzie! Al was just saying how excited he is to see them all open in a few weeks. Shannon :-)...See MorejjkOC zone 10a/22, SoCal
