In bloom now

A selection of varieties in bloom here now, some of which I have posted photos of before, but these are more recent...

Félicite Parmentier (Parmentier 1836). Blooming surprisingly well despite a lot of winter die-back.

Camille Pissarro (Delbard 1996).

Brocéliande (Adam 2000). One of the best striped roses.

Prince Jardinier (Meilland 1996, aka Francis Meilland). Reasonably hardy and very healthy for a hybrid tea (has survived two winters here so far).

Rosomane Janon (Massad/Guillot 2001).

Women's Club (Guillot 2014).

Centenaire de l'Haÿ-les-roses (Massad 2014). Serious health problems but the colour is quite unique and the fragrance is special too.

Clara's Choice (Scarman 2009). A new rose for me. Lovely fragrance but susceptible to powdery mildew.

Crédit Mutuel (Massad 2015). Another brand new one.

Thanks everyone!

Kate: Does your Brocéliande have
really deep red glossy foliage on young shoots? This is quite
characteristic in my climate and it keeps this beautiful colour for
longer than any of my other roses.

kentucky_rose: Félicité Parmentier is
an old garden Alba rose and unfortunately it does not repeat. I had
some mildew problems on it as a first year plant last year but this
year it has been very healthy and carefree so far.

Kelly: Most modern repeat blooming
roses are not cane hardy in my climate but quite a few can survive
the winter with a lot of protective mulching. I grow as many as I
have room for in pots and take them into my garage during winter
(storage temperature between 2-6 degrees celsius). Only Félicité, Camille Pissarro and Prince Jardinier are in full ground of the ones pictured here.

Can't decide which one(s) I like best - maybe Centenaire de l'Haÿ-les-roses and Clara's Choice. Thanks for sharing!

They are all such lovely roses and great photography! I want them all--but I have no room for any more roses, darn it!

I'm still wondering about my Broceliande. I expected it to look more like yours, but mine seems to be mostly dark pink and white--see this picture.

I'm not really complaining --even if they sent me the wrong stripey, this one is vigorous, BS-resistant, and very floriferous--re-bloom is great! But I can't help wondering if it will ever look like yours--those were the colors I was actually aiming for. At any rate, your Broceliande is beautiful!

Love your roses! The first one, Felicite Parmentier swept me away. How is its repeat and disease resistance?

All gorgeous Henrik!

Your picture of Félicite Parmentier is absolute perfection and I agree with you about Brocéliande being one of the best striped roses!

Beautiful blooms. Felicite Parmentier is such a lovely and delicate rose. They're all nice, but it's my favorite.

Henrik--yes, my Broceliande does have really deep red glossy foliage on young shoots. I'll have to keep an eye out and see if it retains that quality longer than my other roses. I don't know if high temperatures or maybe soil quality has some influence on its color or not, but I have wondered about that. All I know is that it is a first-rate plant in all ways--except that the red in the bloom is a dark pink and the stripes are white with no hint of any yellow. It's actually a very pretty bloom--but I really wanted the colors that appear in your beautiful rose.

Well, the
ones in pots especially do require some work and I’ve been experimenting with
new, unproven varieties for a few years. Some of them have been fussy and
disease susceptible plants and it would be a lot easier if I got rid of those
and grew only proven varieties, but that would maybe be a little less fun too… :)
