Good grief! That's a lot of roses...I can barely keep the few I have thriving.
ReplyDeleteThey look stunning Phillip! A month ahead of time, too. Incredible isn't it! What's going to be in bloom all summer! gail
ReplyDeleteThe rose over the arch is fabulous. I just read on someone elses blog they bought Buff Beauty. If theirs grows like yours they will certainly be pleased. I can't wait to see the parade of roses in your garden. Bring em on.
ReplyDeleteEarly thought they be, they are very, very beautiful. Looks like you'll be busy cataloging them all!
ReplyDeleteSooo many roses. The amount of shade has reduced our roses too. I'd love to see what your have.
ReplyDeleteWhat abundance! Question: are there any roses that can thrive in part sun? I live just north of Atlanta and we have two wooded acres which means NO full sun anywhere on the property. We do have one front bed with part sun and I would love to try roses somewhere!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to pictures of your roses. These are gorgeous. Wish I had room for more roses.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is always so impressive!
ReplyDeleteOne one and only rose bush given as a gift when I had to put my last dog to sleep is in full bloom.
ReplyDeleteMarjorie, to answer your question, YES, you can grow many roses with part shade. The best ones for me are the hybrid musks which can do fine with 4-6 hours sun. Here are the ones that I have - http://www.phillipoliver.net/sghmroses.html
ReplyDeleteI got 'Moonlight' several years ago after seeing it on your other website and she has never let me down.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are beautiful! I do hope you have a long blooming period. My roses are flushing all at different times. It's been an odd weather year everywhere this year.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I love visiting your blog.Your roses are an inspiration..I ordered many hybrid musk's this year and just planted Buff Beauty, Belinda and Moonlight all around my garden thanks to some of your blog posts. Looking forward to more photos.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I am looking forward to seeing all of your roses. Today is quite chilly here in my part of Alabama. I hope you are able to enjoy the refreshing air!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is spectacular! Such a profusion of blooms. I am looking forward to your inventory posts.
ReplyDeleteEvery year I am so impressed by your Buff Beauty and Rambling Rector.
