'Marie Nabonnand' clg Tea..

'Blush Noisette'.. I gave this a good shake, rattle and roll before photo..

'Monsieur de Morand' HP, good scent, first bloom maybe not typical..

'Noisette Moschata'... sweet scent, again maybe not a typical bloom.. sweet little rose..

'Mme. Letuve de Colnet'... as sweet as anything, a lovely Bourbon I think..

'Mrs. Oakley Fisher'... older HT...

'Dunham Massey'... modern shrub..

I love your posts, Marlorena! You grow so many roses that I've never seen. Can you tell me more about Noisette Moschata? (My autocorrect wants to call it "Noisette Mascara." Ha, ha.)

I had to chuckle at your vigorous shaking of Blush Noisette. The dried petals will hang, but that's the only fault I find with this beautiful, healthy rose with the wafting scent. Mine is large enough now that passers by stop to ask, "What is that fragrance?!"

I'll have to look up Magenta. Do you know the breeder? The color is outstanding! I don't think that Monsieur de Morand is available in the US. I've never seen it offered. What a lovely HP. I'll just bet the fragrance matches the bloom. Mme. Letuve de Colnet: I so wish I could grow Bourbons well. This might be one for Lisa if it's available in the US.

English gardens (like yours) will always inhabit my dreams! Carol

Thanks Carol,... yes love the wafting on 'BN', too..

I really don't know much about 'Noisette Moschata' other than bred by Joseph Schwartz in Lyon, and it was his wife Widow Schwartz who bred 'Monsieur de Morand', so it's rather nice to have those two here with this connection...

'Magenta' is a Kordes floribunda, generally loved by lovers of old roses, as it has that look and scent...

'Mme L de Colnet' used to be available from Vintage I think, before they closed, as I remember seeing it on their inventory [ I look at those things too]… I have been wondering if it was 'Mme Isaac Pereire in disguise, but I'm seeing some differences, this isn't quite so full with petals and more lilac around the edges, however, the scent is a match, and that puzzles me a bit..

Thank you for the info, Marlorena. I learn so much through your garden tours. :-) Carol

Now you've got me looking up Marie Nabonnand, it looks luscious. They are all beautiful.

These are lovely blooms, Marlorena, wish Mon. de Morand was available in the US...

Gorgeous Bourbons pics; I like the look of the companion plants close to the roses, an interesting effect with colors and textures.

Oh, I love all of them. I been googling a lot on your roses. Last week, I was surprised that Marie Nabonnand is not available here . But , I still love the colours and the shapes of each rose. They all are gorgeous. I can imagine how your gardens looks with birds chirping and the scent. I need English garden touches here in my backyard.

Jin

thanks again everyone... I appreciate your comments...

Jin, I'm sorry you can't find that rose, but you know I sometimes envy Floridans being able to grow that Buddha's hand plant... as I just love it... but it wouldn't do here..

True , I agreed but we have so many Nabonnand roses here but not Marie. And I find that so odd .

And that is one collection I like to have ( Nabonnand) but I am glad you posted Marie several times and I love it very much. I really enjoy it very much. Great roses , Marlorena :)

Jin

Beautiful, Marlorena! ( btw, my phone FINALLY has accepted “Marlorena” as a real name, instead of changing it to Marlboro, each and every time:) One real treat about being off the forum for a few day, is finding all the new posts, and I always love yours. I’ve found a real love for the Bourbon Roses, so naturally I’m enjoying seeing your beautiful ‘Mme L de Colnet’. What a bonus to find another picture of her at the end! Somehow, I have collected about 9 different Bourbon Roses, and I love them all. The scent is wonderful, isn’t it? Lisa

Good thing (for me) Marie N isn't available here. Your photos already convinced me to buy Triomphe des Noisettes and I'm still figuring how/where to fit her in. I want them all!

Mary

Mary, I'm surprised it's not available, but never mind maybe another time. I'm delighted to hear you have 'T de N'... wow. that's great... be prepared for a hybrid perpetual type of rose even though it has a noisette name...

Lisa, thanks so much... yes love the Bourbons, I think it's my favourite class. I'm envious of your 9. Glad to see you back again... we've missed you...

...tell your phone I'm a non-smoker...
