Newly planted cream veranda

The generous gardener, planted last year but first time blooming

Lovely roses.....

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. We have some of the same roses. How does bolero do for you? Mine has not been very hardy and was kind of fed up with it.

We have almost all the same new roses! Beautiful!

Chris, I adore bolero, I think this is its second year and it’s bloomed it’s head off. I have 2 next to each other and they’ve stayed small

Sally Holmes is just starting

I’m not the biggest fan of knock outs but I have 2 white outs to have something constantly in bloom

Oh Jamie, they're gorgeous! Congratulations!

Looking good! We have a few of the same roses. I'm a little farther behind you for blooms though. I also have Bolero, Carding Mill, Crocus Rose, Graham Thomas, Munstead & White Eden!

I have moved poor Bolero 3 times. Not because of the rose, but due to backyard projects. It seems to be rebounding well. But out of the ones I have, they all have fairly good qualities. Crocus Rose seems to be my hardiest Austin so far. Carding Mill's blooms are amazing in colour and form. Munstead is just a great colour! Keep the bloom pictures coming though!

Jamie, all your roses are beautiful! I especially like Claire Austin! Do the blooms really shatter easily? I am seriously considering getting one after seeing your photo!

WiFi, I just planted it this May and it seems to hold up okay. I’ve read that about Claire also, but it was so pretty it’s worth the risk. I have it next to Winchester and bolero and those blooms seem to last longer

Halloblondie,

is your crocus rose in full sun? Mine gets partial and although it’s blooming, it’s my most unhealthy plant, yellow leaves, black spot, etc. I’m considering moving it to a better location in hopes that helps

Beautiful. White Eden is a treat to see.

So beautiful! One of my favorites!

how big does yours get?

It is is going into it's third year. So last year was it's second year. By the fall it was maybe 4 feet high x 3 feet wide. I did have to move it this spring, due to a yard project. So hopefully it likes it's new spot. Exact same sun position, I moved it from the backyard to the frontyard, but on the same side of a fenceline. Tried to do it before it broke dormancy. Looks like it was ok with the move, as it is budding up now.

Good luck!

You have a yard full of beauties! Thanks for sharing these with us!

Wow! Gorgeous roses! Thanks for sharing your lovely pics.
