Garden roses - bush shots
A lot of people really appreciated the full bush photos I put up in another post, so I thought I'd upload some more.
We had a surprisingly wet night last night and it's still coming down this morning. No complaints from me though, my orchids were looking a little dry.
My two pilloried Madame Isaac Perierere's.
I didn't prune them back much this year, as the 28s (local parrots) really got stuck into the new growth over winter and I didn't want to push them over the edge.
Radio Times (bottom left) looking compact after a savage winter prune. But that wont last long. Behind the castle (dont judge, it was from the verge collection and reminds me where the retic pipe goes) amongst the "weeds" is Madame Berkley. The new foliage is really lovely, and the flowers will look good against the pomegranate. Strawberry Hill (top right) getting set for a good spring flush. And thats Marie Lambert/Ducher poking up in the bottom right corner. Both it and Devoniensis are still looking rough now, but they look great over the hot months.

Some bush shots
Comments (5)Definitely an idea whose time has come! So many times when we admire a flower we really want to see the whole package. Lorraine Lee and Souv. de Madame Leonie Viennot are especially beautiful. These are definitely going on my wish list of roses to consider in the future thanks to your pictures. Thanks!

Comments (14)What lovely shots of your garden and your roses! I am happy to see all my pink favorites: Le Vesuve, Souvenir d'un Ami and Bishop's Castle. The last shot capturing the row of the tea roses and the view into your surrounding landscape takes my breath away! Thanks for taking the time to post pictures from your beautiful garden.

Comments (14)The pink in the forground of pic four is cherry sunblaze. Wonderful rose. Never stops from the time it first blooms. The purple mid picture is Midnight Blue. They both show up in the picture prior. The roses are planted so close together that they fall into each other plus there is no ground showing. And this after ruthless spring prunning each year. I do love the way the colors all blend into one another as it is just my style of gardening. For years before I had roses I would read how they need all this space between them for air to be healthy. Well, mine do just fine as you can see. Judy and Lesley, thanks, it has taken afew years but it is worth it too me....See Morerandom rose and garden shots
Comments (7)Hi Susan: I love your random garden shots. My garden is like that, I put red bee-balm everywhere, my favorite, hummingbirds like that red flowers. I'm going to buy more blue shades like lavender ... already have one, but our spring flood didn't help. I like your General S. rose, always wish my climate is warmer to grow roses like that!...See MoreAdam Harbeck
