..this is a mature Ghislaine de Feligonde with clematis Mme Julia Correvon.. the rose starts to flower about 2-3 weeks earlier than the clematis, so the rose is in full flush when the clematis starts.. as in the picture.. ..they were planted quite close together, but I wouldn't recommend that.. if I did it again I'd put them about 6 feet apart.. as you see the rose stretched to some 15 feet, maybe more, and I trained the clematis more to one side of the rose..
Thanks they do Look very well together Marlorena I am still thinking about it, I do have a Tropaeolum speciosum spare which also another candidate .
'Scented Garden'.. full flush.. overlooking the Pebble Beach.. 'Gabriel Oak'.. richly coloured, richly scented.. 'Vanessa Bell'.. ..the hottest part of the Pebble Beach garden.. Verbascum and Lychnis seed about.. ..first bloom, untypical it should be a little fuller.. 'Adam Messerich'.. a Bourbon.. peppery scented.. ..pure white of 'Pearl Drift' a rose with deep green glossy narrow foliage..
'Gruss an Aachen'.. lightly scented, very pleasant.. the rose David Austin tried to reproduce in his English Rose collection..
'Commandant Beaurepaire'.. sweet Old Rose scent.. 'Kew Gardens'... .I love these Foxgloves, I think they're the Camelot strain if I recall.. ..first bloom on 'New Zealand'.. wow what a fruity fragrance, a rival for Jude the Obscure on that..
..I did not expect to like this rose, but I'm thrilled with it.. medium sweet old rosey scent too, and good foliage.. love the colour and shape of the blooms on this older Hybrid Tea.. 'Dr. O'Donel Brown' ['Souvenir du Docteur O'Donel Brown' ex-Roseraie Ducher]
..lemon scented 'The Country Parson'.. ..the yellow doesn't last long and quickly fades to white, but that's all part of Austins duality with colours.. I like it that way.. ... one has to appreciate thorns on this rose..
Oh the joy...after 5 years of trying, and pruning advice from yourself, I have finally got blooms on my Tuscany Superb...just in time to try my new camera out as well.
@peteS ..delighted it's come out for you.. that colour should darken I think..
..such a long elegant bud.. 'Crazy In Love'... 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.. ..first flower Clematis 'Valour'.. a fairly new Viticella.. Geranium cambridges cover up any eyesore.. 'Commandant Beaurepaire'... ..photo from last night..
..more blooms on 'Botzaris'.. [Damask, 19th C] 'Forever Royal' on right in the Pebble Beach, with several Austins on the Rose Island Bed.. Dry Garden, south bed.. Helianthemum 'Wisley Primrose'.. Geranium 'Russell Prichard'.. .same bed.. Parahebe 'Avalanche'..
Totally agree, New Zealand's fragrance is great. I have an odd looking posy at desk with New Zealand, Sharifa Asma and The Poet's Wife but it smells amazing.
