Very beautiful, all of them! More and more, I am wishing for additional sunny places to plant more roses. If only there were one for shade!
ReplyDeleteI wish my roses were blooming now but here in Oregon we're still a week or two away!
ReplyDeleteYour selections are all so beautiful... I really like that Daydream - it looks so poised, and Francois Juranville is stunning! When you have gotten to the end of the alphabet, would you do a series of posts on roses that DIDN'T make the cut for you (and why)? You are obviously very selective in your rose choices!
ReplyDeleteOh so very pretty. I can't have roses here, just too much shade. What sunny spots we have we are putting in veggies as produce is so much higher in cost than in Mobile. Love your roses and your garden looks so mature. Easy to see you've been working on it a long time. Carol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Phillip.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to each one of these posts!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous roses and photographs Phillip! You have got me daydreaming. Enjoy the fling!
ReplyDeleteI think Dusky Maiden in drop dead gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour article is amazing! Keep up the good job. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWOW! How wonderful to be surrounded by so many roses. I'd also love to know which roses you've gotten rid of over the years. I've had to chuck a few that were just too disease prone.
ReplyDeleteThe last one you show, in the close-up it looks like a peony! I love the scent of roses but kind of shy of them as they bite back.... The Saint and I are enjoying getting to know you guys at the Fling!
