Your roses look phenomenal! Please share more photos , I want to see it all ! My peak will never look that good ! But in May it should be pretty nice .

Beautiful indeed! No leaves yet., still have a long way to go.....spring peak should be in June.

Mine will be in about 2 weeks. Yours looks great

Mine is *usually* around Mother's Day to the first of June, but this year some roses are already eking out a few blooms at a time, much earlier than normal. At this rate, I'm not sure I'll HAVE a peak bloom, lol...just a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng barely there flush. For instance, my Blue for You is about half in bloom, but my Austins haven't opened the first bud, and they normally bloom simultaneously. My Old Blush is bursting, but Mrs B. R. Cant, which always blooms with it, has ONE bloom. Go figure.

P.S. It almost goes without saying that Hoovb's garden is beyond stunning (and I HATE the word "stunning", but it's apropos in this case, lol). If it were any more "peak" I'd die of jealousy.

In about 3 years.

Until then I'll just have to enjoy yours. It's stunning!

Beautiful ! My roses never bloom at the same time .I will have one bush covered in blooms with nothing on surrounding bushes .

Very lovely. More pics please!

Mine are more like "Meek," at their spring best, not PEAK like yours, Hoovb! Fantastic roses you have! Your garden shows a lot of creativity and hard work.

Mine hopefully will make their spring debut in early June, then hit their peak in mid/late June this year. I have many just pruned bushes right now that have not pushed a new shoot yet. Just green canes sticking up from the crowns. March was very cold with several hard freezes which held progress up.

One nice thing, though, is my autumn flush. It is the highlight of the blooming season here, not spring. The bushes are at their largest and most floriferous then. Colors are vibrant due to the cooler weather. Flowers last forever before petal drop. Fragrance is less, though...cool weather inhibits fragrance.

I appreciate the spring flush very much, especially after the long, cold winter, but rejoice when the autumn flush begins in early September, peaking in early October. Then it slows down, but blooms continue to early November.

I think you've got the color placement about perfect!

Wow, I'm speechless! So gorgeous!

Oooooh no missy!! You gotta share waaaaaay more pics. Your picture is absolutely stunning! I'd love to see more pics close up of EVERYTHING!!! Now go on and show us more. Judy

Hoov!!!!!! That is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I agree with the others, we need more pics!!!

Gasp - hoovb! That is like the cover of House Beautiful, only more beautiful because it involves stunning roses among all the other stunning architectural and perennial features. I agree - more photos, more photos.
The answer to when my roses will look like that is, um, approximately never. I keep myself from despair when considering exquisite photos like yours because I set my sights rather lower than that. I'm shooting for garden chaos and lots of color happening in June some time, but we'll see if that happens (neither was true last June even with a mild winter and a lot of surviving cane).

Absolutely gorgeous!! I too would love to see more pictures :) My Spring rose blooms are at peak right now as well. The only exception is Blush Noisette. I don't fault it as there are at least 200 blooms that need to open to complete its process. My next door neighbor has been looking over the block wall between our properties to see some of the roses in bloom. Today he came over for a little tour and was taken by the roses and their perfume

Pictures please?

Is that a MAC climbing on the house?

Stunnnnning! Amazing garden great work! Need more pics

So gorgeous. So Amazing. I always look forward to seeing your pictures. Always stunning !!!

Here in New Orleans, our first cycle of bloom is almost over.

Suebelle

Echoing everyone else here. Simply stunning!

Glorious! Nothing is blooming yet here, but the period before the spring flush seems like a quiet time of expectation of good things coming, and it's almost as good as when they're actually blooming.

I'm at peak in the back and a week to go in the front because I cut them later. I was sick of a windstorm taking everything so I staggered it. And this year no wind, yay! Hope we get one repeat before chilli Thrips start. I don't see any yet. Feels great right now.

Kitty the wind blew its way up to the Bay Area! I'm not sure when mine will be since we are now getting late, windy storms.

Hoovb I must ask pretty please for more photos ... please, plesse, please? Your garden is just gorgeous. Such variety and artistry. You really are a master at your garden design!

Breathtaking! Girl............more photos as others have said. My spring flush is weeks away in June. Right now my garden is just beginning to wake up and there's always the possibility of snow in April. So we in the cold zones really need more pictures.

Beautiful garden Hoov!! My flush is coming in a couple weeks. But with this cold and rain, might be longer...

The white climber is 'Iceberg'. I did have MAC on the front of the house at one time but it was too big--it was eating the house and we couldn't get through the gate.

The light is getting harsh already. Hard to get photos, too contrasty.

'Fourth of July', 'Geranium Red', 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh':

Here's some photos from the Huntington on Sunday: https://pieceofeden.blogspot.com/2017/04/huntington-rose-garden-early-april-2017.html

'Lunar Mist' is a sport of 'Colette' and has a button eye.

Gorgeous and WOW!

Thanks for the look. It is quite colorful and beautiful. If the weather does not go on another weird rampage with yet another hard freeze, my peak bloom has been the week between Mother's Day and Memorial Day. If it freezes, all bets are off. I am concerned because of what I heard on the TV weather predictions of a possible freeze sometime between the 10th and 20th followed by very warm conditions and severe storms toward the end of the month. It is not unheard of here. I can always use the rain, just not the rest of it.

Looks good. My yard is split I have angle face,ferndale,Irene ford and romaggi that are in full flush and Julia child along with several other ogrs and austins that are budding out. Aprils usually the best followed by midsummer and fall flushes

Your garden is amazingly beautiful! It's not only the roses that look good but everything else as well!

Each as amazing as the last. Just beautiful. I think I have a Laguna coming but not sure. I kept bouncing back and forth and honestly forgot if I did order it. Love all those buds. Judy.

Hoovb, so many lovely roses in your garden! Your garden must stop traffic! There is an orange colored rose in your 1st photo, is that Augusta Louis?

summersrhythm by the gate on the left is 'Brass Band'. In the extreme lower left corner is 'Tuscan Sun'. Above the rhs of the gate, 'Lady Emma Hamilton'.

Thank you for the info! You must be an artist to combine all the colors together so well. My garden needs that warm tone, I will be working on it this year.

Oh Hoovb. I'm so glad your roses are thriving again after so much drought. I do hope the worst has passed.

Everything looks wonderful! Your past photos of Sombreuil Cl and Laguna are what prompted me to buy mine "D

You are truly an artist in your garden and your photography, and writing. I love reading your blog and especially when you post blogs/photos of your doggies!! We had a Samoyed when I was little. She was my buddy.

OMG, hoov, your garden is gorgeous!!!

Seil took the words right out of my mouth ..OMG absolutely gorgeous ,I probably will not see a bloom until June

I agree that it is a gorgeous garden. Just curious, is the first pic the front of the house? I am in the same boat as rose crazy.

Your garden is like paradise. Just stunningly beautiful. I would sit for hours - if one has the time to do so - just taking in all the beautiful scents and blooms. Enjoy!

Wow just wow. Not only great roses, but the placement and the house are beautiful.

I think my peak is coming. I have lots of buds and it seems like after 2 years of almost completely redoing my roses, I will have a lot to show for it, finally. I did an album on FB yesterday called 'Anticipation'. Here is a link.

Anticipation

Again, it's a pleasure to see such beauty, thank you for showing them. Everything looks amazing!

Stunning, gorgeous, beautiful--how about awesome and tremendous!

Normally, the big bloom here happens in later May, but we had a very early spring this year, so I'm not sure how that will affect the schedule.

Did get my first bush blooming yesterday--hybrid rugosa Fru Dagmar Halstrup. None of the other roses are nearing bloom time yet, however.

Like Bustopher said (same zone), it is not unheard of in our zone to have a last hard freeze as late as April 20, so . . . .

Everybody cross fingers and toes for Bustopher and me!

Kate

Kate and Bustopher - hope your roses come out of spring unscathed!!! Fingers are crossed!

Hoov your blog is fantastic! I didn't see a way to subscribe to it though, did I miss that ? Your photography, writing .. Everything is fantastic! What a gem !!

Buford !! Omg your garden is wonderful !! I am really really enjoying all these photos and tour of your yard . I love love seeing whole gardens and this was such a treat!! I'm not on fb so I can't follow you there I just wanted to thank you for the tour!!

Just gorgeous, Hoov. Thanks for the extra pictures to tempt us to greatness.

I got Sombreuil because of your blog too. I just planted it on a large arbor in my front yard! :)

I have never grown Sombreuil, but I have seen it. Historically, it started out as a climbing Tea rose, but it was reclassified as a large-flowered climber just in case anyone does not know. If you show it, it goes in with the large-flowered climbers. It can be absolutely stunningly, drop-dead gorgeous. I have seen it in one show I helped judge where it was voted the best entry in the show even though it was not the queen, the award reserved for best HT or GR. So, if you have it, enjoy it. It is capable of being a real looker.
