Some old roses and a Hibsicus or two thrown in (Long)

18 years ago

This rose has been in our home longer than we have, more than 35 years. A couple of years ago, while delivering some soil, a tractor ran over it, killing it we thought. But we took the roots our of the ground and planted them in a safer place, it lived. Since than it has grown in leaps and bounds. The portion in the shot is the half thats falling outside the boundary wall. I have not pruned it since planting back, except for trimming it where it reaches the ground.

Banksiae Alba (I think)

Hibsicus

The following shots are from the local rose society garden. Most of their roses have not bloomed yet

Your pictures are always so beautiful.

do you know the name of the old roses that the tractor ran over.

I'm just thrilled that you were able to rescue it.--that is the kind of success story I love to read.

Your rose is just gorgeous falling over the wall like that. All in bloom it must be breath taking:) Your photos are all very beautiful, thanks for sharing.

That is a beautiful rose. Is it a repeat bloomer, or once bloomer?

Yes I think the second is Banksia alba.

The foliage is just beautiful. I think this proves that in dry climates, better foliage as it is the humidity that breeds fungi.

These are all beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I think but I am not sure, the one coming over the fence is Banshee. Someone who has actually seen one could probably know, whereas I am just guessing, but it is something I always wanted but feared it might eat me.

I have no idea about the name, but its a once bloomer. It usually blooms after the Banksian roses.

Aamir - gorgeous pictures again. Thanks for posting the Hibiscus - makes me homesick :o), my Paternal Grandparents had a whole hedge of different coloured Hibiscus in the front garden that I had so much fun playing with (the blooms were a favourite for pretned cooking cos they came in so many colours)
