THE START OF THE ROSE FLOWERING SEASON


Crocus Rose
The start of the rose flowering period in my garden even today loading these photos the garden has changed since I took the photos two days ago.


Crocus Rose a delightful rose with soft apricot buds opening and bleaching to mainly white flowers. with  a delicious fragrance.


Falstaff strong bold flowers and deep rose perfume but after rain a tendency for the heavy flowers to droop.


Sweet Juliet a beautiful flower strong plant and abundance of flowers although the flowers are looking smaller this year than I remember.


Sweet Juliet


Mayor of Casterbridge another vigorous shrub rose hence the supporting hazel poles. A strong fragrance.


Mayor of Casterbridge again the flowers seem much smaller must remember to feed with compost this year.


Noble Anthony

Francis E Lester difficult to photograph as most of the flowers seem to be in next doors tree.


Rambling Rector always an early flower and very rampant it really deserves a much larger area to climb.


Cottage Rose one of my favourites and one I have taken cuttings from. Cottage Rose was moved three times before liking it's current situation and thriving.


 Cornelia grown from a cutting

Cecile Brunner grown from a cutting given to me by a dear neighbour who is no longer with us.


Francine Austin I have grown several cuttings from this plant.


Albrighton Rambler a new addition since losing our much loved Veilchenblau 


England's Rose bought for my Dad when he was living with us some years ago, this year it is blooming very well since redoing this bed.

  1. Serendipity worked again. I needed a break from the cold rain outside, checked your site and you had just added all those lovely photos of your roses. Thank you
    You have no idea what a boost to the morale it is to see the blooms and imagine the glorious aroma.
