    Very pretty, and it's good to see one of you too! Is that clem Multi blue? Reminds me of Crystal Fountain. My CF is blooming right now and it is so unusual looking I think of it as Martian. Will have to get a picture. Not much else is blooming here, but there are lots of buds . Azaleas are blooming.

    Thanks so much everyone. Linda, I think it's crystal fountain, but will have to check tag to be 100 percent sure.

    Look at all those blooms on these two polyantha.


    This is excellenze Von Shubert. Excuse the weeds.

    I've tried twice more to add pictures, but it keeps messing up, so will try again later. I keep getting a error. And please excuse the weeds ;)

    I just realized, you can't really see all the buds on those two polys, my apologies.

    Haven't took final pictures. But I hope you get the idea.

    I thought I had took another picture, but will try to remember to get one. I have ramblers at the back, teas, polys, China's, some old European once bloomers. May have over filled it. But if I did, it will be fine😊

    I love your in process photos which show the reality of gardening, Alana, and not just the end result!

    Try this again.


    Sheila, thank you so much. It is alot of hard work to get this beautiful chaos you see here. That is what I call my garden because that's what it is, beautiful chaos, never perfect, but my beautiful Eden.

    Alana, I really love your beautiful chaos and realize I am going for that too.

  • 4 years ago

    Thank

    you so much Sheila. I love my beautiful chaos. I think one day, when I stop adding more, if that ever comes to pass, lol. It might be more together, like those beautiful picture perfect gardens, but right now, it is what it is, and I love it! I can't wait for you to post pictures, I do enjoy your pictures! Especially your teas. My only mature tea, whom I love is MMe. Lombard. Everyone else is young or babies. Or I lost to cold and had to replace, until I found it's "spot" that it likes to grow . It shouldn't be so hard as hot as we get, it's just that spring, freeze, thaw.Linda that clematis up top was Multi Blue. Would love to see your garden when it starts, and you clematis! Maybe you can do some glamour shots with your roses! Here is one, from a colder day last week. I suck at pictures, lol. At selfies. Rose selfie queen, lolHere another, just cause, lol

    How nice to see your face, Alana: thanks for the selfies. Congratulations on spring and on your garden! We're well into the season here, as unseasonably warm winter weather meant spring began in January; but my once-bloomers haven't begun to open yet, only the warm climate roses. I wish you so much happiness in your garden and in your gardening, and I know you'll get it. Melissa

    What a fun thread, Alana! It’s lovely to see the Rose Goddess in her garden. 😊 And all your gorgeous roses! How many do you grow now? I am so jealous you have Blanc Parfait! If I can ever squeeze in another Alba, I am going for that one! Thank you for sharing your in progress shots! I don’t think we have enough of those on the forum. Honestly, I am calling my garden “beautiful chaos”, too. I have been gradually redoing most of it ,and it has taken years to get a chunk completed. Much is still waiting. We had a pile of soil in our driveway for almost 7 years. Heh. I am very, very excited for your new rose bed! Carol

    What a fun thread and lovely garden. Thank you for sharing with us, Alana! It's nice to see the "beautiful chaos" of other gardens here. I've got a pile of compost and mulch on my driveway, too, Carol 😅.

    That was Hawaii Volcanoes up above, not multiflora carnea. Does anyone know if multiflora carnea is similar?

  • 4 years ago

    Melissa, I am not sure why, fortunia may have been first , but the once bloomers are right behind, followed by the rest.


    Thank you so much Carol! If you like I can try to root you one :)


    Thanks everyone!

    Alana - I love all of your pictures - some roses I am not familiar with, which is fun! What is the one which is the second pic up from here, with the tiny reddish purplish blooms (next to the white one?
