After a bit of cooler weather, the new flushes on my red roses have surprised me by being, well, almost red! But they are not conforming to type. So, which is which?
The choices are- Darcy Bussell, Munstead Wood, LD Braithwaite
And the answer is... from the top, Darcy Bussell, Munstead Wood, LD Braithwaite - cunningly, not mixed up at all
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Never mind, you get the consolation prize for having a go, @edhelka!
Here’s another beauty in the heat (pre heatwave too, boy is it boiling out there) - you can probably guess if you are au-fait with my love-mostly hate relationship with this rose: (Lady Emma Hamilton)

I've been trying to photograph my rose bed but all photos look like an explosion in a paint factory. I guess that's what I have.
Young Bordure Camaieu, an explosion of colours on its own, not to everyone's taste. It opens bright warm pink and orange and fades to light cold pink and yellow.
Just Joey, a way too long cane (see the top right corner of the first photo)
And a rose I want to highlight - Joie de Vivre. An absolutely carefree rose, free-flowering, healthy, compact, easy to grow. The full bush is also visible in the third photo background and in the first photo under that Just Joey cane.
hi everyone I have just registered on the forum. I love my roses, but I love the perfumed ones. we have recently moved home, and I had to disturb 5 of my roses, (by digging them up) and brought them to our new home. I planted them as soon as I could, (April) it did knock them back a bit. I am putting them on for you to see. the pink/yellow, is called DOUBLE DELIGHT, the apricot pink is CHANDOS BEAUTY. the white one, is, I think MARGERET MERRIL. the perfume is beautifull!!! as you can see, they seem to be growing well, and hopefully next season, they will be better. I did leave quite a few behind.
Some lovely flowers there @griffiths_lynn1 , such lovely petals on those big, blousy flower heads. I have my first Iceberg flowers - just two buds maturing in it's first year and some late flowering (2nd) Masquerade flowers - changing from pink, to yellow and every shade in betweenbetween.

Can you tell I’m bored? Too hot to garden. I’m off for a siesta!
