Some red roses in the rain. Hard to capture reds with my phone, seem to get a bit blown out a bit.
Red Perfumella hybrid tea
Deep Secret hybrid tea
My rant is very hard water plus I have deposits of some kind of chalky lumpy material in pockets all over the garden...about a foot down. Near those areas, I’m having a real problem with chlorosis. Currently trying to combat this but it’s a real pain in the **** 😩
@Victoria Sponge this was one of the first DA roses that caught my eye but still took a while before I took the plunge and very glad I did.
Thanks @Katsa. This is why I love this forum thread as you get to see them in peoples gardens rather than edited to sell. It does have a lovely fragrance but is stronger when it's a warm sunny day.
Omori..your Deep Secret bloom is exquisite.. and these are not roses I would choose as a first port of call.. ...I'm getting behind with deadheading due to domestic responsibilities, such as we all have, but my husband is not in good health, and takes a lot of my time.. the roses are an inbetween thing really.. so, I've just deadheaded a few and haven't attended to as much as I would like.. 'Wildberry'.. this rose is growing on me.. very healthy foliage, disease free, scented blooms and quite large in clusters.. 'Scepter'd Isle'.. 'Sally Holmes' x 2... 'Octavia Hill'... 'Scented Garden' x 2... showing colour variations..
clematis sieboldii 'Viennetta' with red climbing rose 'Marie Nabonnand'.. Phlox bed.. I'm getting a Hummingbird Hawk Moth visit these each day at the moment.. fascinating to watch... I must try and get a picture.. 'Ghislaine de Feligonde'... Delosperma cooperi... Lavender 'Gros Bleu'... Geranium 'Russell Prichard'...
The first flower of Boscobel's second flush has opened but sadly it's drooping over/too heavy for the stem and on a stem at the base of the plant. There are plenty of buds on stronger looking stems(bottom pic) so I'm keeping my fingers crossed ! Boscobel is my favourite rose I have so far! Also first GJ and excited about my scent from heaven's first bud. Even with a bud I can smell a beautiful scent!
Lovely photos @Marlorena. Wildberry looks very pretty and your C Vienetta is looking great. I haven't had flowers on mine yet. Was a bit pathetic looking when it arrived a few weeks ago. So sorry to hear about your husband. I looked after my Mum for many years and needless to say my garden looked shocking.
@rock_hen I love your GJ, has it much fragrance. I've always been on the fence about this one but don't know why. Please post photos of your Scent from Heaven when it opens too, would love to see it.
I'm glad I bought it too @poppyfield64, about the same time as you. Very nice scent
Diamond Eyes with Charles Darwin. I really like the way the white eye on DE gets bigger the older the bloom, the almost spent flowers are still very pretty. Charles Darwin is about to launch another flush.
Second year Royal William giving lots of flowers now. Bathsheba still holding its own with a little help from me in an overfull border. Plenty of space above, I hope it gets up there soon.
@Marlorena Your Wildberry catches my eye every time you show it. It's high on my list for this autumn and I never would have come across it elsewhere so thanks. Nice to see your Vienetta too. Same things caught my eye @poppyfield64 . I know why I haven't bought GJ , thorns!
@Omori Your 2 reds are stunning. Sympathies from another hard water sufferer. My water butts are dry again, no wetting rain here for a month so the plants will have to endure the tap stuff. Removing a deep mahonia stump showed me the soil is parched way down.
