Home Again - Hello Roses

'Crown Princess Margarita' I'm back home after a three week garden tour of the Cornwall region of England. It was phenomenal and I'll be sharing photos from the trip later. I got back home to an explosion of growth and bloom in our garden. I was grateful that we received some rain and so was Michael, who didn't have to do a great deal of watering. This is my favorite time of year when the garden bursts into bloom and everything is fresh and unblemished. The roses are especially a treat right now.  'Cornelia' 'Lady Emma Hamitlon' 'Lamarque' 'Marchesa Boccella' 'Mutabilis' 'Playboy' 'Purple Pavement' 'Radway Sunrise' 'Darcey Bussell' 'Golden Celebration' 'The Impressionist' 'Lady of Shallot' 'Buff Beauty' 'Julia Child' & 'The Impressionist' 'Sunny Eleganza' 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt T...

    Thanks Phillip for a wonderful tour of your garden today. Although it was a wet and soggy day, everything looked wonderful and made the day one to remember for a long time. Would love to come back when hydrangeas are in bloom.

    Difficult to pick a favorite, but at a prior home and garden, I had Bourbon roses, so I adore those blooms!

    So you have a fondness for pink roses? They are all gorgeous, particularly the David Austins. I'm so sad, my David Austin didn't survive the winter. Boohoo!
