Roses - two by two

11 years ago

King's Macc

Blue Girl because you all like her so much (you can almost see three)

Alte Liebe - probably not very well known and to tell you the truth, I would not have chosen this rose. It came in a lucky dip package and I must say, I am quite impressed.

Brocéliande

Astrid Gräfin von Hardenberg / Black Caviar - here two pairs on the same rose. I think I may have a sport here. First time I noticed was last year - I marked the cane and this year, there they were again - pink Astrid's.

That's all folks

Beautiful, Sharlene! Love Blue Girl and Alte Liebe. You have some gorgeous roses that aren't readily available in the US.

Well, they're all gorgeous. But I love that BLUE GIRL. I was wondering why she looks so tan in the center. That's not the same BLUE GIRL we have over here. That's a florist rose from NIRP. I am sooo jealous! Heirloom Roses carries ALTE LIEBE. Must be from Cliff's EuroDesert Roses when he closed up. They don't have it available right now. Bummer...

Sara - can say the same here. Often all of you post pictures and when I check them on HMF, they are only availble in the US - really a pity but the popular rose have a habit of making their way across the pond.

Beth, yes it's the NIRP Blue Girl - the first few buds didn't show the tan that much but as the weather has become warmer most of the roses have changed slightly.

Love the reverse on King's Macc bud. Brocéliande must be the prettiest red/white stripe ever.

Your Alte Liebe is definitely a find, although I'm partial to Brocéliande for the stripes. Nice pics!

Oh!! They're ALL gorgeous!!!

I'm wondering what you think of Broceliande? I have it new this year as a bare root. No blooms yet. What do you think of the rose in general, and the fragrance in specific?

Can't wait for mine to bloom and look like that?

I've seen some Broceliande pictures with yellow in them and some without yellow. I'm wondering if that is temperature related??

Carol, can't tell you much yet. This is the first season for all my stripes - I also planted them bare root this March. But what I can tell you is that it has quite a strong scent and so far all the blooms have been striped. Not like my Edgar Degas who hardly ever shows the yellow.
We'll have to compare notes next year.
