....why we love DA roses... time for some more foliage from some popular Austins.. 'Anne Boleyn'... 'Bathsheba'... 'Desdemona'... 'The Ancient Mariner'... 'Lichfield Angel'... 'Vanessa Bell'...
Has anyone got any idea what this rose might be. It has repeat flowering deep pink blooms about 10 cm across and suffers from dreadful blackspot. I'm not even sure if it's a climber, it was here when we bought the house and I cut it down to the ground thinking that would kill it but as it has survived I haven't the heart to try again.
...I think we're in for a warmer weekend ahead, so we might be lucky and see a bloom or two.. 'Mme. Antoine Mari' today... glorious Spring foliage despite the cold wind...
Queen of Sweden. A little too upright for me. But a healthy rose
Olivia Austin.. Lovely foliage on what is a young plant Claire Austin very vigorous but was very unhealthy last year's so removed quite a few canes in the winter Churchill Rose.. Such a performer for me. Lovely foliage too. But quite prone to black spot later in the year
It’s unaccountably thrilling to see all that lovely fresh rose foliage emerging. I now have two gorgeous deep purple buds on my new Diamond Eyes and was hoping for the first bloom, but the weather has turned cold and horrible so I guess I shall have to wait a while longer!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
