Roses Grow On You

The previous gardeners here were apparently fond of their roses...










Unfortunately I don't know their names but I suspect there's a Queen Elizabeth amongst them somewhere.

  1. I love roses. I have some climbers that were already here and one bush I put in.

    1. I love the blooms but not the thorns!

  2. They are very pretty - nice that there is a combination of colours. At one of our previous homes, I was starting to create a rose garden, but then we moved. I've not tried since. -Jenn

  3. Roses are nowhere near out up here in the Dales. I do love them but they are such a lot of work that I no longer grow them.

    1. I think the previous owners were keen gardeners before it became too much for them.

  7. The perfume from our one rose was very strong yesterday; I imagine it was the heat. I could smell it from over 20 ft away.

    1. We have honeysuckle and buddleia next to the roses so wonderful scents.

  8. We have 2 climbers and a lovely orange/ peachy shrub. They are doing very well this year...covered in buds. They must like the weather!

    1. I think most roses are quite hardy, luckily.

  9. We inherited roses in the second house we lived in, but have never actually planted any. For the first time, this year, I have actually planted two, though I think they are a bit hit and miss here in Spain. Nothing as stunning as yours, and the one in the second photo is beautiful.

    1. We've planted four more bush roses to disguise a wire fence we put up to keep Rick in.
