Missing my roses!

9 years ago

About three years Lesley started a thread, "Missing My Garden," so I decided to start a similar one.

Here are a few pictures of some of my roses from the past couple of years. This warm weather is making me miss them big time, and I'm very anxious for spring!

Show us what you've been missing recently! Doesn't have to be just roses.

    Thank you, Beth! I knew I should have named them! The red one in the second picture is Forgotten Dreams, it really has been a good rose for me.

    First picture is mostly The McCartney Rose and Liebeszauber. Third picture is Souvenir de la Malmaison, fourth shows mostly Tiffany and Pink Peace, fifth, Pink Peace, sixth shows Love Song, Peace, Sunsprite, Belinda's Dream and Zephirine Drouhin, seventh is Julia Child, eighth is Cl. America, ninth is Bewitched, Pink Peace and Tiffany and the tenth one is Mme Isaac Pereire.

    Hope more of you will post your pictures!

    If my roses looked like yours, I'd be missing them, too! Seriously though, I think everyone on this forum is missing theirs and reading through catalogues plotting the future. I love looking at the pics I took last year. I'll try and find some I haven't already posted later today.

    Was sure hoping some of you would show some of your pictures! I'm sure I've probably posted all of these in the past.

    Hi Sara Ann!! You're roses are always so beautiful!! Love those grand babies or grand teenagers now. They grow up sooooo fast. I was going to post pics but my iPad just sits spinning and spinning. So maybe later. I'm missing mine soooooo much. I go out everyday to look for buds and they've barely leafed out yet. Lol. How pathetic am I? Judy

    Oh I should've know that one was FORGOTTEN DREAMS. Very lovely. Love your REINE DES VIOLETTES. Mine never looks that good. It's planted in a bad spot I guess..... Cute grandkids, BTW!! You should show updated pics of them.

    Thank you, everyone! Pettypetals, sure hope you and others will show some of your beauties! I hope I can get an updated picture of my grandchildren. They do grow up so fast. Beth, Forgotten Dreams is such a good rose here, love RdV too. Rose crazy, I am always humbled by the compliments on my roses, because there are so many talented rose growers on here. I do appreciate it. I've enjoyed the rose forum so much, because it's nice to have people to share this hobby with!

    Oh my gosh I tried for a third time last night and I got about 9 uploaded but when I hit submit the whole thing went blank. There's some crazy trolls on my iPad or something!! Grrrrrrr

    Hope it starts working right, soon. All this technology is great when it works, but very frustrating when it doesn't!

    Judy, those are all gorgeous! Love the swinging chair! I'm sure your yard is something with all your beautiful roses and other flowers. What variety is your last hand full of beauties? Love them.
