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...

  1. When I see a spectacle like this I feel a deep seated case of Rose envy. Heavenly.

  3. Wonderful! There is nothing like a swath of roses to create a mood of romanticism. I once planted Rambling Rector, hoping it would climb a nearby tree and create such a spell. Didn't happen; it neither bloomed or climbed, and eventually I removed it. Sigh. Yours is perfect!

  7. I know I've said it many times, but here it is again - your garden is gorgeous! And, the roses are charming!

  8. I really enjoyed the violet lavender colors, if that is their real color. They look that way on my computer screen. I want even though I don't grow roses.
