Roses are in season and blooming now.
1. Color seems to be somewhat deficient with this first and the last of these Six. This rose is actually more butterscotch colored than pale yellow. It is probably the best performer.
2. This rose might be ‘Double Delight’. It looks like it at times, and is nicely fragrant. It is unfortunately the least florific, though. It may not bloom for the second half of summer.
3. Deer have access to these next four roses, so occasionally eat the buds before they can bloom. We appreciate what we can get when we get it. This one seems to be a floribunda.
4. Yellow is not a common color within our landscapes. This is the only rose that is plain yellow, and is not in a prominent situation. It is still recovering from relocation last year.
5. Does this one resemble ‘Seashell’? With so many cultivars available, it is impossible to know. I like to think that it is. I can remember when ‘Seashell’ was popular in 1976 or so.
6. Again, it is impossible to identify the unidentified roses that were recycled from other landscapes or home gardens. I like to assume that this one might be ‘Chrysler Imperial’.

Lovely selection of roses, much earlier than in my garden. Deer love roses, don’t they?! Not a happy combination.

Thank you. Deer, for some unknown reason, avoid the parts of the landscapes where most of the roses are. It is a mystery.

I’m always so impressed by people who remember the names of roses….I am hopeless at it. My favourite is the butterscotch…..already forgotten its name 😉

I do not know the names of these roses because the first two were already here before my arrival (without tags), and the other four were recycled from old gardens where whomever had planted them had moved away.

Roses remind me of my mom. She had maybe 200 varieties that she loved and remembered every name. Her back yard was xeriscaped cacti but she tucked in roses wherever she could. I wonder what things look like now. The family who bought the house had a 2 year old and another on the way, and the yard was probably not great for young children. Whenever I would visit my mom, there would be so many amazing blooms, but she always would say I should have been there last week when they were spectacular. If it were not for Japanese beetles, I would consider having some roses. Well, that and it is more of a pain here where there is serious winter.

Two hundred is too many to maintain! Goodness, that must have been a lot of work. It must have been nice though. I do enjoy ours, regardless of the work.

A stunning selection of roses, all very beautiful and well captured!! The second one is especially vibrant. This reminds me a little of the rose garden at Regent’s Park here in London.

Thank you. Regent’s Park likely has more English roses and more of the types that are popular in Europe. I believe that most of ours are old fashioned hybrid tea roses, except for the floribunda.

That’s a beautiful Rose collection. I can’t pick a favorite, but today ‘Seashell’ and the Floribunda really caught my eye. Enjoy!

Thank you. Most of these roses were recycled from other old gardens, so were not actually planned. We do enjoy them, though.

a lovely collection of roses. Mine are in bud here and are pretty much all the English variety.

Thank you. Except for the (likely) floribunda and two types of ‘Iceberg’, the roses here seem to be hybrid tea roses.
