The blooms on my Desdemona are looking quite beautiful at the moment, aided and abetted by the lovely weather we've had over the last week or so. (apologies but my *****y phone doesn't do justice to whites).
Guy Savoy fully opened, has very large, shallow blooms. Classed as a shrub rose by Delbard, but since it has long, stiff canes to 2m can also be grown as a climber, there is a photo of it HMF growing over an arch.
First bloom of Super Trouper, the camera is bringing it out more yellow, but it’s a actually medium orange:
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
The very first bloom to open on my b&q white climber. Pink tinged in bud and pure white when open, plus a delicate rose fragrance. These two Blue for You and Celebration are just getting going.
My first Jingle Bells flower, I am really excited about this one, huge bloom, magenta red, lovely strong old rose scent and glossy foliageDiamond Eyes makes a lovely container rosethe patio smells amazing
