last modified: 6 years ago

I thought we could start a general thread to share some of our random garden photos, like the one they have going on the regular Rose forum. Looking forward to seeing your roses!

    OMG!!! As if the climbers weren't enough! i have to show my little Purple Skyliner yours so it knows what it's supposed to look like. These are spectacular pictures and I so appreciate the full shots. How old are your plants? Lyda is exquisite.

    Thanks vaporvac! These all are about 5 years old I would say.

    Please share some of your roses!

    The Faun


  • 6 years ago

    The Faun! i keep forgetting I want that one! It's great to hear it does well in NY as well as CA. It's perfection in that pot. I'm looking through my pics to see what I have. This year many are new and since I'm crazy for New Dawn I may have to sneak some in since she's almost an antique and my actual specimens were planted soon after her introduction. I think it's nice to know how long-lived a rose can be.

    ...seriously good roses from you Chris, as always.... I wish I had some to share without showing older ones, but mine are between flushes.. just to satisfy my curiosity, what's the tree in the 3rd photo in the background, looks to be covered in white flowers?..

  • 6 years ago

    The Faun is such a cute rose. It really seems to like the pot. It has struggled with me in the perennial border because it gets so easily out competed by neighboring plants, but now finally seems to be thriving.

    Thanks Marlorena. That's a Kousa Dogwood. Was here when we bought the house and really puts on a show. Produces lots of fruit in the fall too although not sure how much it appeals to wildlife. Most seems to fall to the ground.

    Gorgeous color on that Oneto home saffron.

    This is a huge rambler in front of an old house in my neighborhood. Maybe Crimson Rambler?




    And my first bloom from my new Charles Darwin.

    My Austins were hard hit by the late freeze, but some put out a few nice flowers.

    A cute seedling I grew from Lyda.


  • 6 years ago

    Only one Austin in bloom at the moment, the lovely Munstead Wood. It turned vibrant, glowing magenta in the recent heat:

    And then of course is Bolero, which is always in bloom. It is not an Austin, but it is a grandchild of Sharifa Asma:

  • 6 years ago

    Chris, I bet they smell great!

    This is a rose I found locally that I believe is the rose going around as Charles Lawson. Once blooming and incredibly healthy and vigorous. Very fragrant too.

    Harison's Yellow, second year plant.

  • 6 years ago

    I love it. It looks more like my Persian yellow which is also wonderful, Joey.

    I love seeing so many photos of beautiful old roses.

    Today I was astonished by the scent of my first bloom ever on my band of ‘Souvenir de St Anne’s’. So powerful and so delicious, like pure, sweet, powdery cloves. The bees love it and so do I!



    And Barcelona/Francis Dubreuil is always a reliable and extremely fragrant beauty:

    I would triple like all these wonderful posts if I could.

    Chris, I wondered if your rambler be Excelsa, then I looked at Helpmefind and see there is a lot of confusing between Excelsa and Crimson Rambler (which I had never heard of till now. Whatever it is, it's wonderfully vigorous. I'm always impressed when I see these roses nearly naturalized, withstanding deer and complete neglect.

    I bought six off-patent Austin roses from Palatine last December. I'm most impressed by this one, English Garden (AUSbuff). I hope it survives our winters.

  • 6 years ago

    That is beautiful. I know Freedom Gardens sells it, but I never realized it was so gorgeous. I wonder if it has Buff Beauty in its heritage?

  • 6 years ago

    I love The Faun and Lyda Chris! So beautiful! They just jumped really high on my want/need list!



    Here is some flowers I did in a wheelbarrow I got from the dump.

    Most of my roses could fit here and I take (way too) many photos. So these are the best of/more interesting ones/my favourites/whatever I feel like posting right now.

    So beautiful. Thank you all for sharing!


    I fall in love with Reine des Violettes every time I see a picture of it.

  • 6 years ago

    So interesting and beautiful, Edhelka.

  • 6 years ago

    The foliage on Silas Marner seems very similar to The Ancient Mariner, in photos at least. I've not seen either in person.

  • 6 years ago

    Not much blooming for me at the moment.

    Darlow's Enigma is one exception.

    'Ghislaine de Feligonde'

    I have three crimson colored roses and just recently bought 'Falstaff''.

    Here is 'Munstead Wood'

    'Charles de Mills'

    'Erinnerung an Brod'

    Another button-eye rose, "Madame Hardy'

    I posted this 'Ispahan' photo on Carol's thread, but love this rose so much that I hope it's fine to post it here too. 'Peggy Martin' is photobombing in the top left corner :-)

    'Crown Princess Margareta'


  • 6 years ago

    Vesfl those purples are wonderful. Not much blooming right now in the garden for me. Just a couple blooms here and there.

    Teasing Georgia

    Bliss Parfuma

    Imogen

    Some zinnias

    And a lovely monarch!


  • 6 years ago

    Chris, I'm glad you posted that picture of Darlow's Enigma. It is a quiet dependable rose for fragrance and bloom here. It's so quiet, I kind of forget about it, but it is in the background of many of my garden spots, perfuming the air.

  • 6 years ago

    Just a note on the crimson rambler above: 'Crimson Rambler' is very easy to identify because of the profusion of bristles on the pedicels: they look like orangutan arms. Also 'Crimson Rambler' is slightly maroon rather than crimson. So the ID for that red rose above is probably the Walsh rose 'Excelsa.'
