Autumn roses

These days my roses are beautiful. At this time of the year they should be dormant. But after rainy spring, very hot summer, warm autumn is producing the most amazing blooms. We have had only two days with temperatures bellow 0°C. I see snow on top of the hills, and many blooms on roses. Especially Austins, teas and Tantau roses. Blooms are darker than usually.

    Gorgeous roses! I don't have any roses blooming right now so I'm glad to see pics of others roses. Thanks for sharing!

    Your beautiful roses look like spring, soncna. Munstead Wood is perfection, and I do think this rose prefers autumn to spring. I'm glad you've had a warm autumn. We got our first freezing temps last night when it hit 29F. Hope your nice temps last longer. Diane

    soncna, lovely blooms, and so healthy. I don't see English Garden photos here often - yours is a beauty. I hope you will post lots more photos of your garden, and maybe the snow on the hills? Trish

    Thank you for the photos, Soncna. Your roses are beautiful! I have grown EG and MFK in the past. Both are very romantic! I just ordered a Munstead from DA. Carol

    Soncna I recently received a band of Mlle Franziska Kruger and I only hope mine has the beautiful, dramatic red and dark green foliage yours has! What a lovely photo of the buds and foliage. Bright red, dark green and just absolutely gorgeous!

    Munstead Wood is a favorite of mine, too. And I love the beautiful rich red growth on your Mlle Franziska Kruger.

    Thank you for all of your lovely comments. I have no pictures of snow on the hills- weather turned to rain the day after my initial post. We have very warm weather for this time of the year. Today I have noticed that many other roses have started to bloom.

    Lovely roses and great photography, Soncna. I hope you'll post more pictures of the roses that are in bud now. I assume you will have snow later on and am surprised that you can overwinter a tea rose.

    Beautiful roses; thanks for posting! It sounds like one of those special autumns, to be remembered gratefully in years to come.

    Gorgeous. We had an usually hot and dry autumn here on the E Coast too.

    I wish I could find Acropolis here in the US. Would love to see more photos of it.

    Today I am really happy! Finally, my roses from Rosso Tiziano came. I ordered ten tea roses. I have to give them a try: all tea roses that I already have, are doing great.They love our summer heat. I was a little worried, because I had no previous experience with italian nurseries. Today the package came, the roses all in good condition.

    I want to share summer pictures of my first tea rose. I do not remember, where I had bought her and have no clue which rose I had originally ordered. After three years, I have not identified her yet. I thought about Beaute inconstante, but there is no fragrance. She is a very vigorous rose.

    Soncna, thank you very much for sharing your beautiful roses with us. They are a true beauty.

    In my garden in autumn also some roses bloom. Even more beautiful than in summer because they do not burn. They remain without aging much longer and it is true that their colors are much more intense. More beautiful from my point of view.

    I cultivate a couple of copies of Rosa 'Munstead Wood'. I think it's an incredibly beautiful rose !! Although in my climate its characteristic very dark color does not appear until the autumn.

    I really like MW too its tender buds. What a beautiful color range ...

    The problem with this rose in my garden is powdery mildew. Every spring, when I have the buds formed, I'm excited and I hope it does not happen ... but yes, it happens !! Soon the dreaded white dust begins to appear on its petioles and tender buds. Every spring the same!

    As it is logical in summer it remits much the intensity of the disease and in autumn it disappears altogether.

    It is a wonderful rose garden. With capacity to reflow so much !!

    Wow! My rose blossoms are globs of waterlogged, freeze dried decomposition on a stick. Thanks for your beautiful photographs! Your roses are so lovely, Soncna. Your English Garden blooms rival grand dames like Celine Forestier. Carol

    I love seeing your MFK. It makes me excited about my new MFK each time you post a photo. The bright red stems are just gorgeous.
