Almost got sp'ed

1st flower is always special

One of my favorite pic

Favorite color combo!

Best performer in my yard...better than clothilde soupert. Flowers last longer, dont turn brown in wet weather, quite disease resistant

Thanks for the pics. They look like it should be spring, not late November. Your favorite combo picture is very striking. Keep the pictures coming.

Gorgeous blooms. Do you have the names? Thanks.

Names, please! Your roses are lovely. Lesley

Very lovely, and yes, please, names. I have a feeling your garden as a whole must be very nice. If you have any garden shots we'd love to see them.

Crown Princess Margareta
Abraham Darby
Sharifa Asma
The fawn

Oh my gosh!! These are gorgeous. Love each and everyone. More please.

I think this might be tamora..

A quick once-around-the-yard before going to work and voila!...Heritage in its best moment

So lovely! Where are you? I am really wanting to know....Lol.

The Fawn is just terrific and since it is better than CS for you, it has risen to the top of my list.

Veronica in Thonotosassa, FL (near Tampa)

Thanks for the names. i had 2 of them right. That last pic of 'Heritage' is a nice one.

The white Angelonia (?) looks wonderful with Clothilde.

Beautiful ... I am crossing my fingers that some of the garden rose cuttings I have take root in three weeks and I can attempt to grow non-HT's ...

Any advice on warm weather rose growing? It rains frequently in spurts here, too. I think I use too much fertilizer, I spray in reaction to and not in prevention of thrips and blackspot (but hopefully I will be better next year) ...

Hi
@Ingrid-my yarden is a huge mess right now. My soil is sandy, so I am trying to amend the soil by digging holes and dumping kitchen scrap/grass clipping. On top of that, I have a huge mound of soil from the holes that I dont know what to do with.The good news is that I found a place where I can get horse manure..Yay! Will post picture when the yarden(yard/garden) is more "presentable"

@thonotorose-I am right behind Disney World, so close that we can see the fireworks and hear the booming noise .
@msdorkgirl-I too use too much fertilizer! It is hard to gauge how much to give and how often when it keeps raining on and off. Right now I am experimenting with alfalfa, cracked corn, molasses etc..I spray only when I cannot stand to look at the BS anymore. Right now I am trying out Kirk"s castille soap for BS.
Here is another pic..i.I love having what I call "a living bouquet": combination of roses and short growing,everflowering perennial because roses in my yarden dont bloom like those in cooler area, plus the blooms dont last long. The perennials keeps the yarden colorful when the roses are resting.

I haven't settled on where I'll be living so everything is in pots--- I'm not sure how long we'll be in this location either, so I can only dream that someday I can put together a living bouquet too.

How are your David Austins/English roses doing in Florida? What do you find is most helpful? I imagine Florida has similar weather to Hawaii, but the one English rose we have in the Urban Garden Center produces two inch Crocus Roses only so that made me think that they're not good in 300 day bright sun :(
