Antique Roses Roses

Finally lots of blooms in the garden #1

last year

After the wettest Winter in living memory, the rain and very cold temps (for here) finally stopped about 2-3 weeks ago, and the sun came out. ALL of these pics were taken yesterday, and most of these roses did NOT have open blooms even a few days ago. So exciting to run around the garden looking at everything! Here are some examples, and I will post the others on subsequent posts, as I have trouble posting "too many" photos at a time.

You will have the same thing happening as I do - just later! Here is a photo of my Fortune's Double Yellow from the other side - and below it, looking up. Same plant, also taken yesterday. Every time I read or hear of someone who thinks once bloomers are not for them, I think of FDY. The plant I took the cutting which turned into mine is still happy in a little park not far away - it is one bush climbing up and draped over 2-3 very large trees, and just starting to open blooms - I can't wait to see it again!

Well, thanks again. CTC, Mantis is correct that is Open My Eyes, and it does very well for me in zone 5. I bought it at Cottage Gardens actually!! The darker purple in the back of the eyed section is Gillian. Marg, Hold Your Horses is a Trimmer, I bought it from a seller here in zone 5, so I know it will grow well. Jean, thanks ( it's Bowie, and he has been taking it easy) Linda, I like the four paws rating system!! LOL. Vickie, Hold Your Horses is such an impressive daylily, I could see it from across the gardens where I bought it!! It just drew you in. Tobyjones, you should get Citrix, Maryott had it, but I was able to find it from a local grower, and I do blame Kay for making me go get it!!! hahahahaha. Thanks Kay! cindy

I have three Cosmic Couriers that are about to bloom if we get a couple of warmer days. One of the three has one bloom half opened. That's about it. Most of mine were planted this season, so they aren't blooming. Next year ought to be fun! The others I have are Primal Scream, Marietta Magic, Bahama Butterscotch, Carefree Peach, Bertie Ferris, Imperial Elegance, Flying Tigers, and Ocean Drive Sunset. None are now blooming though. Marietta Magic Bahama Butterscotch First bloom Primal Scream, can't wait for next year Primal Scream is situated in front of a May Night Salvia, and next to a Sunny Border Blue Veronica, so the combination of the oranges, purples, and blues should be nice. Darn, too bad winters coming!

It looks like HF Young, but there are a bunch of clematis that have similar color and bloom time that it could be, including Fujimusume, Silmakivi, Lasurstern, Zara, Cezanne, and Diana's Delight. There are also some with similar color that bloom a bit later, including Prince Charles.

Yesterday - Lots of Blooms in the Garden #3 (and last for now):

Out by the street - "Schmidt's Smooth Yellow":

Along the sidewalk - iris and Cramoisi Superior just starting to bloom:

Further along the sidewalk - another Cramoisi Superior blooming & taking off up the fowering crab apple tree, and Safrano

All of these were only in bud a week ago - I love Spring!

Oh, a mistake - the rose above in our Side Garden is NOT called Mrs. Roberts, it is called 'Lady Roberts'. It is a color sport (darker colors) of 'Anna Olivier', and blooms like this until Fall.

That is amazing! Hard to believe they all popped open at once.

We just had a big snow storm and most of mine aren't even starting to leaf out or, perhaps they are mostly dead. Trying not to look at it much right now until we get some warmer temps.

Oh my goodness! I have always wished I could grow Fortune's Double Yellow but even in my imagination it never bloomed like this. Your garden is just stunning, Jackie. Thank you for sharing it.

I can only imagine what all this must look like in real life, with a 360 degree viewpoint, and it will be even better in a few months, I'm sure. FDY is unbelievable!

Thanks, everyone. Since only about 1/3rd of the our roses are blooming yet, I am looking forward to showing you the rest of them when they get around to it!

Fortune's Double Yellow is just astonishing! Thanks for the pictures. :)

Very nice, Jackie! I like both gardens. The circular arbor is interesting. If the roses grow over top, you will have a nice little "rose tunnel" there. With the way the arbor bends outward, there may even be space for a bench seat on either side of the path?

Your garden has all the charm of an “old” garden, Jackie. And there’s nothing like an old garden for charm. I enjoy all the pictures you post and will be looking forward to the next ones in the series! I agree with Steve about putting benches in your rose tunnel. It would be a wonderful place to sit, day or night.

That path is not wide enough for benches, but there is already a bench in that garden (see pic above), where I Iove to sit. Each of our sort of separate mini gardens have benches in them - 5 in total.

Glad you like it - I am waiting for the roses on the right side of it to grow over the top of that arbor, and in the "New Garden" next to it (on the left in the pic), just beyond the deer fence, there are 3 roses we planted last year which I hope will grow up and onto that same circular arbor. I am not very patient, but I am waiting...
