Waiting for me when I got home

I was away for a nice vacation in destin Florida for a week . It was wonderful but of course when I left I had a handful of things ready to open that would when I was gone . I was up first thing the next morning to check them out ! So exciting

Royal jubilee above and below . I really like it !

Next up is Abraham Darby

Strawberry hill ! I just about fell over at how ruffly and sweet this one is.

Only one nice bloom out of 7 on pope john II. I guess I have thrips ? Lol

Boscobel

Jasmina is still going strong


Unknown clem if you know it let me know! I was so surprised at its color as when I left the buds were dark and I thought it would be a deep purple

Another new clem named Margaret hunt

Twilight zone. I haven't see a dark purple flower here since it came in the mail with one :( it's still pretty but I'm a little sad about its pink not being purple .

Thanks for looking !!

    Wooohoooo it is exciting. They all look great. I agree with Strawberry Hill. She has a beautiful shade of pink too. They all look great. Dang thrips. They get mine at the end of my spring flush every year. Hate them. I saw three jap beetles today too. Goes from one critter to the next.

    Is there a color difference in 'Royal Jubilee' and 'Boscobel'? Do you think one would be better with lavenders than the other? I've not seen either in person is why I ask. Thank you.

    Abraham D. is being especially beautiful. Love your other pinks.

    Your clematis reminded me of this one.

    Iris gal -- I hope u see this !! Royal jubilee is definitely a lilac shade of pink and I love that about it !! Boscobel is a warm coral pink . I love both !

    Thanks everyone for the compliments !!

    Wow what a nice "welcome home!" Beautiful blooms. I wonder if your purple clematis might be POLISH SPIRIT. It looks similar to mine.

    Perfect Lily, that lilac shade of pink is sometimes missed by the camera. Or I think it's there because of the shade-shooting. I'm adding that information to my list with Royal Jubilee. Thank you.

    They all look so nice! I really like your Royal Jubilee. How's the growth habit for you? I had one in my cart at Armstrong's last year, but ended up putting it back. I hadn't heard much about it. I'm kind of regretting it after seeing yours! Lisa Oh, nice Clems too.

    Lisa , it has made a nice rounded shrub so far which I really like ! So far the blooms nod a bit . I find it charming. And will enjoy that even more as it grows up!

    Steven , rose crazy and Ashley - thank you so much !! Such a nice treat to see .

    Plum perfect first bloom ! Love it

    Beverly looking and smelling good !

    It looks weird in photo but soul sister is so gorgeous!

    Here it is the next day toned down

    I love the color of Soul Sisters! What do you think of Royal Jubilee's fragrance? It's looking great!

    Strawberry Hill almost came home with me the other day - cute rose, nice fragrance. But no room....for now :)

    Thanks so much for bush shots. Appreciate the explanation about RJ's cool color and shrubby habit. I suppose that Jubilee Celebration is more warm then. What is your JC habit like?

    Dave , I like the fragrance , it was fruity to me! I have to wait til the next round of blooms to give you better details though. Strawberry hill is great , I hope you can make room !!

    Totoro , so far it's been rounded as well . It is warm and looks really nice next to teasing Georgia. The color is better than pictures and what I expected! It would go nice with boscobel as well I think. It's brand news to me this season so I'm not sure how rounded it will stay . But it looks great so far!! :)

    here it is next to TG blooms

    This photo dosnt show it but there is a yellow base under the pink that adds charm !

    foind a pic :

    You can see a bloom perfectly shattered there and it shows the yellow. Now I can't wait for it to bloom again!

    Really great color coordination with TG and JC.

    Your TG blooms look really large. I have heard that TG blooms can be smaller. I havea new TG grafted onto Fort (from k&m)and it is growing very vigorously in the shade. It has to compete with a large maple near by too.
