Rain soaked roses this Monday afternoon!!

I managed to clip a few more roses today. I thought my last post was it but went out today to get a few left out there. Surprised there's anything out there decent to cut but I will take whatever I can get. The roses are Carding Mill, Gruss, Boscobel and Anne Boleyn. I think there's a Princess Alexandra of Kent poked in there too. A pretty clematis opened and a couple Cafe Lait dahlias.

Enjoy, Judy

    Thanks y'all!

    2bbugsy I purchase from all the places everyone else does. Most are online from places like Roses Unlimited, Chamblees, Palatine, Northland, David Austin and a few others. I also buy from Home Depot, Lowes, and several local nurseries. I shop everywhere. Mine aren't "old roses" and trust me I'm not very knowledgable in most things roses either which is why I hang out on GW bc there's lots of folks here who are and are happy to help us out. If it's gorgeous I want it. Really, it's a sickness for me!

    Take care, Judy

    Judy, they are lovely! I can see now what the different zones mean for us gardeners/rose nuts. You still have Clematis and Dahlias! I have already cut back my Clematis and chucked all my Dahlia bulbs! Seeing your Dahlias (and April's) convinced me it is time to get new ones!

    Thanks Sharlene! I have only one or two clematis but any bloom out there is precious these days. I would prob have had more roses but the baby deer I believe creeped in under my fence several times and it rained so much I couldn't get out and spray my Liquid Fence. Luckily it's deer season and hoping the hunters take a few with them. I'm going to add a couple heirloom chrysanthemums with my dahlias and see how they compare.

    Thanks again!! Judy

    Judy, lovely blooms. Which clematis is that? Also how high does your fence need to be to keep out the deer (as long as they don't creep under it)?

    Hey Nancy.

    I have no idea what clematis that is. I've had it a long time and I'm sure it's one I purchased from Home Depot or Lowes. I read the fence needs to be about 8 ft but mines an electric fence and worked great for a while but the babies are getting under it I think so my son in law ran some more wires low and it seems to have worked!

    Is your fence 6'?

  • 10 years ago

    wow, thank you for that morning jolt of beauty.

  • 10 years ago

    Mostly 6 ft. I have some spots that may be 7 ft bc the ground is uneven but will prob add another strand or two before next spring. Hopefully the deer hunter will get a few.

    Thanks so much cottonwood!!!

    Sophia Carding Mill is the peachy apricot on the left in the bouquet and the 6th and 7th pics which is close ups of it. I love that rose!!! Judy

    Thanks Judy for pointing out. Love that rose, the colour and size just caught my eyes. I wish I have more room.

  • 10 years ago

    You're very welcome Sophia. It's def a great bloomer if you find room. Judy
