Rose "Veilchenblau"

Rose "Daydream"
Roses in the upper border include "Lyric", "Daydream" and "Clair Matin".


Rose "Daydream"
"Daydream" is a modern shrub rose that I purchased on a whim at Home Depot a few years ago. It is beautiful when it first blooms but usually tends to get blackspot later in the summer.


Rose "La Marne"
"La Marne" - all around fantastic rose.


rose-peggy-martin
"Peggy Martin" aka The Hurricane Katrina Rose, is growing up the trunk of a declining cyptomeria.

Rose "Marjorie Fair"
"Marjorie Fair", aka "Red Ballerina" on the right. The light pink rose on the left is sold by the Antique Rose Emporium as "Lavender Pink Parfait". The tall pink rose in the back is "Frederic Mistral".

  6. Jane, I have experimented with various things over the years but I have not fed them with anything for the past 3 or 4 years. I find that the best thing is to keep the soil healthy and rich and I add leaves and compost in the fall and sometimes again in the spring.
