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.

That last one looks like the roses we used to make out of crepe paper. All very pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh yum yum yum, it's rose season again! I am waiting for the very first bloom of the season to open! I love all of yours, but I think 'Sweet Chariot' is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteWow, these roses are gorgeous! My roses are just starting, so I hope for some beauties. I'm fighting Rose Rosette disease her, and I'm afraid they will all succumb eventually. Wouldn't that be awful?
ReplyDeleteRobin, yes it would! I had a few roses get it a few years ago. Fortunately it did not spread. As soon as you see it, get rid of the rose!
DeleteReally pretty! I love the color of Buff Beauty. By the way, regarding your comment on my recent post, some of my mop heads are not blooming well, either. I do believe it was the harsh winter - two years in a row - that may be the culprit.
