A few fall blooms in New Orleans.

Some of my bushes are just beginning to bloom. Lot of buds, but the cool weather has slowed them down immensely. I hope that most of them will open before the first freeze here. In our climate, it is never this cold in the month of November. I can remember some years that we had roses still blooming by Christmas. I hate Winter anyway. Could never live up norh like some of you. LOL !!

Thanks for the nice words. At some point I would like to buy a nice camera with macro lenses, etc to take pics like I used to when I had an SLR of the film variety, but for now I use my daughters old point-and-shoot which is a big step up from mine that is for sure! I keep thinking one of the new micro 4/3 since they have interchangeable lenses, but that would be a hassle when you are traveling and it is hard to justify 2 cameras I suppose. I am just a hobbyist like most of the rest on GW. Someday I will have a Greenhouse, but not while I have kids in college for the next 7 years that is for sure. I have loved plants/animals since I was very little and got in to classes over the summer 2 years before I was supposed to be allowed to take them because of my interest. We used to collect caterpillars, snakes, turtles, etc. and feed them for the summer before letting them go. I had my first bonsai that my dad got me when I was around 10 (long since gone) and planted/tended the family garden around that same age just because I enjoyed doing it and being outside. In other words; total nerd! Some of my bulbs I get from friends in trade, but the majority are from importing, which I have been doing for a decade now, as that is the easiest way to get large bulbs of unusual species. I typically organize buys from places like South Africa for a group of like-minded people as that way we defray the costs and everyone gets something different. I just put in a group order for some rare Haemanthus, Gethyllis, Crinum, Strumaria, Massonia, Boophane, etc. so hopefully they will arrive before we get too cold. Anyway, that is my story :o) Dan

Hi all, The dombeya is Seminole...I planted it in the wrong place (I do this way too often) so I kept pruning it over the summer and I think that's why it is so low and round. I don't know why yours isn't doing better, Marcia, although I've had them in the past and not been as successful as this one. This gets full sun and I did water it when we didn't have rain. I've never fed it. Maybe the lack of water is part of the trouble you're having? Carol - I'm glad the begonias are doing well - they will take more sun than you think except in the summer.BTW, I'm still looking for that white cane you saw online - no luck, but I did just get a dark leaved, dark pink one that I didn't have. I love begonias. Anna - Yup, I couldn't resist a few geraniums! I think I got that calliandra from a vendor at Tropiflora's spring sale as I saw them again at the fall sale. The boys at the nursery could probably get one for you - I'll ask -as I might like another for out back. I've tried cuttings with no success. It gets so huge that it would be perfect for your garden and it's foliage is so pretty that if it got too much shade to flower well, it wouldn't matter. Mine gets only part sun part of the year so it's not loaded with blooms year round. Katkin - I am totally hopeless with technology (don't even have a cell phone) but I bought the cheapest digital camera at Target and learned how to use it. I can only do the basic picture taking but that's all I care about. Try it - you'll love it! And then we'd love it too. Hester

Hi Kristi, Oh wow!!! These are absolutely beautiful!!! They look so happy to be outside in your warm and sunny climate. We here in the northeast are getting a little stir crazy (as though I needed any help in the crazy department) and we're dying to get stuff outside. I just heard on the news that there's a chance for snow just a short distance from us...yuck!!!! Thanks for the beautiful pics. :-))) Fred

So gorgeous! It always amazes me how many climates exist in our country. I can’t imagine blooms at Christmas time nor would I want them. I’m too busy fighting the animals for the primo spot in front of the fire:)

I love winter blooms! St. Ethelburga is a beautiful Peter Beales rose. Does it have a clove fragrance as reported on HMF? My goal is at least one rose blooming in my garden 365 days a year. My rose babies were all planted last fall and I have had at least one bloom at all times, actually many more than one, since Spring. I am curious to see what will bloom over the winter; I have high hopes for the Tea Roses in this regard. Paul Neyron has such enormous blooms! I have one bud just ready to open and I love the way he turns lavender in a vase.

Gorgeous!! I had st Ethel berg and loved it . Your Sonia of course is a one of a kind beautiful rose!! Thank you for sharing as always . Keep me coming !!!

Stephanie, me too , hopeful for some blooms as long as I can! Do you strip your roses though ? I was just at Lowe’s and they had done that to all their plants. I was very disappointed as I know they’ll grow back but I really wanted this one rose as it was

Your all really lucky to have roses at Christmas and in Jan. Mine are usually covered in snow or ice depending how cold winter is and how much snow, or melting and freezing at night!

For those of you in the US where are you getting your St. Ethelburga .... It is truly beautiful. I would love to get one, but under helpmefind.com I don't see it listed in the US.....

Suebell all of your roses are beautiful.... I have Paul N.. Yours is showing a nice lilac color... mine only did that once.... most of the time he is pinkish red.....

Lilyfinch, I didn’t plan on stripping any leaves. They seem to fall off on their own. So far I have only removed leaves that had mildew or rust on them. Only two of my roses are fungi prone: Paul Neyron gets rust and Gruss an Teplitz gets mildew. The rest of my roses are clean, but I have been spraying Spring and Fall with Bonide copper fungicide concentrate and cold pressed neem oil: 1 tsp neem, 1 tsp dawn soap, 1 Tbl copper conc into 1/2 gallon warm water. I put this mixture in a Chapin brand one gallon mosquito sprayer recommended by someone here. Half gallon is enough for 35 young roses. Probably by next Spring I will need a gallon to cover them all. It keeps both fungi and grasshoppers away and is nontoxic. Can’t spray this in hot weather, plus roses don’t get fungi in summer, but I had some grasshoppers over summer and just ignored them until it cooled enough to spray again. So far sprayed just once this fall a couple weeks ago when the weather started cooling.
