My Roses in Jan 2017 - Zone 9b Isb
Comments (57)With all my roses pruned, there is no activity nowadays. However, when I complained to my rose nursery that the roses this year were not healthy, he sent me another pack, most roses of his own choice, at 80% discount. I am dealing with this rose nursery since long and many a times he sents a few roses free of cost Penelope (Hybrid Musk, Pemberton 1924) Brandy, (HT, Herbert Swim 1981) Memorial Day (HT, Tom Carruth 2001) Elizabeth of Glamis (Floribunda, McGredy 1958) Black Caviar (Astrid Grafin Von Hardenberg, Shrub, Tantau 2001) Daftrausch (Senteur Royale, HT, Tantau 1986) Andre le Notre (Betty White, Meilland 2000) Niclole Carol Miller (Grandiflora, Meilland, 2005) Pink Peac, (HT, Meilland 1958) JFK, (HT, Eugene Boerner, 1965) Souvenir de Baden-Baden (Pink Enchantment, HT, Kordes 2000) Princess Alexandra of Kent An un-tagged rose I already have two bushes of Princess Alexandra but he sends me a third at his own. No problem. I am not paying . I am fascinated to have Penelope, Memorial Day, Black Caviar and Andre le Notre. Have heard good things about these roses. I spent whole friday afternoon planting these roses... On Saturday morning me and my sons went up Margalla Hills for hiking. Margalla Hills National Park starts less than a km from my house. Here is one of the biggest trees that I saw in many years.... growing on the foot hills of Margalla. Yes, this is one tree. It is certainly hundreds of years old and Banyan tree do spread like this over the centuries; each root that touches the ground becomes a tree. This was last week. This tree is not that old but it is located high up on the Margalla mountain. We reached this spot after 2 hours of hiking. And here are few photos of one of my favourite palms, growing in the wild in Margalla National Park. Phoenix rupicola is indeed makes a majestic bush when fully grown. Phoenix rupicola grows up in the Margalla mountains at medium ranges. Here is one majestic specimen, isn't it? Another specimen This one has been through a jungle fire. The trunk is old but the leaves on top are few. Look how majestic this one looks. I am quite certain that if I grow this plant in my house (which is just 2 hours walk and in aerial distance, around 5 km from this place where this plant is going naturally), it will perhaps never grow this well. This is what I try to discover during my hikes. In nature, what makes the plants grow so well. What is God's Recipe for this lush growth? I think Straw would be interested to know this.... So many Phoenix rupicola growing naturally near the top of the mountain. I am so lucky to have this place just two hours hike from my house (in distance, it would be around 5 km aerial distance). Since there are no rose pics to show.... I thought we can talk about Banyan tree and Rupicola Palms I guess All photos shown above have been taken by me during my hikes in Margalla mountains. best regards...See MoreRoses 2017
Comments (23)Some more blooms from last week: 'Prairie Joy' has the tidiest mounded bush form of all my roses, I love the very dense grey-green foliage. A continual bloomer too: 'Hansaland' is full of lush red blooms, bush form is pretty tidy too (from Corn Hill nursery). My salvia is huge this year and crowding it: I still love 'Morden Sunrise', the blooms just glow. I also have 'Bill Reid' and definitely prefer 'Morden Sunrise' as it has more pink tones in the flowers, a fruity fragrance which definitely wafts, and more uniform growth: 'Emily Carr' has the most lovely dark red blooms which really, really long, unfortunately no fragrance I can smell: 'Cutherbert Grant' has the one of largest blooms in my yard, they are more cupped/globular blooms than 'Emily Carr', and become more purplish as they fade. The petals are very velvety, and the blooms definitely have a fragrance. Bush shape is a little wacky but the flowers make up for it. Definitely one of my favourites: 'Snow Pavement' is one of my most fragrant. It has a wild rose clove fragrance, and lighter green leaves which pair well with its pale lilac flowers. Bush shape is tight and mounded, and best of all, had very few dead canes this year. Very low maintenance, I don't even bother with watering:...See MoreAntique Rose Farm/Heritage Roses Northwest June 2017
Comments (18)Well, Cath, I'm not sure about a book... but I did at one point have a one act children's ballet sketched out in in my mind in which all these characters come to life and dance and interact with a child whose mother has just been going through the garden with her, telling her all about the old roses and their names and back stories. Mother goes back indoors, and the garden kind of melts away, morphing into a grand ballroom where the little girl meets everyone 'in the flesh'. Lots of opportunities for delicious costumes, nice little 'character' solos, mimes and pas de deux's etc ensue... until, of course, she ultimately finds herself back in the garden, curled up on the garden swing, having been asleep and dreaming... KS, I must apologise again for going so far OT - I think I probably should have started a separate thread to indulge my fantasies. But there again. who knows where such delicious photos of old roses will take us... :-)...See MoreYour favorite rose pic of 2017-One pic only
