Hi @Marlorena, or anyone else who may know, how do make those multiple photo montages, like the two 4 small photo pics above or the 6 photo pic from Sunday above? TIA
Oh thanks so much, that's so kind. I'll have to start baking those scones.. we're also hoping to get back to visiting a garden or two this summer..
@Busy-Lizzie We can blame the late David Austin for revolutionising the hybrid tea as it seems the market demands roses to have more of an English Rose look, but they're still HT's designated by the breeder, because they are bred from HT roses ... what they all do I think is produce thousands of seedling crosses, but select those that conform to what the market requires and their individual brand. DA does this too, weeding out any that look like modern HT's, and growing on those that suit the Brand they've created..
So Hybrid Tea's have become more shrubby in nature, more cluster flowered, and reverted to their old fashioned looks, as the first roses called Hybrid Teas, in the 1860's-1880's all had the look of what we see in DA's today... it was the hybrid tea 'Peace' [Mme. A. Meilland' to you?], in 1945, that started the craze for the high centred bloom, on stiff upright stems..
Rose breeders have been forced to change their styles, so they look more like Austin's..
'Pink Martini' is quite stiffly upright though still, so retaining some of those modern features..
@owd potter Others may have their own way, using various apps or somesuch, but what I do is upload my photos to 'Google Photos', which should be somewhere on your p.c.
After they're uploaded there is an option to 'Explore', and on that page one of the options is 'Collages', so I click on that and then select the photos I want it to create as a 'Collage'.. it then shuffles them together and I save it to my computer for uploading to here.. It's difficult to explain without showing someone, but it's actually quite easy and there may be a better version than what I use.. but the term to search for is 'Collage'..
@Fire No, not this garden, there's nowhere to park.. also due to covid and other reasons, it just wouldn't be practical.. so I have to do virtual scones..
Thank you for the explanation @Marlorena. I would have loved to visit your garden if it had been possible with the NGS. OH's house is in south Norfolk.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Dear @Marlorena, thank you for this thread, I am finding it really interesting. I must admit I find the main rose thread somewhat overwhelming, with so many roses, so much information from so many people. So having a more detailed focus on one rose at a time is really helpful!
To go with the virtual scones, perhaps you could do some videos of your garden over the summer, so we can sit with our cups of tea!
@Pianoplayer ..thanks so much.. and yes what a good idea, I'll see about that.. always good to have a variety of threads I think, I'm so pleased you are finding something from it, I thought it was a fun thing to do..
