Roseshow in my Garden


After a quick look around the patio last week it is time to see some of the roses around my garden where we have our own mini Mottisfont. 
I will start with this one called Malvern Hills, It was planted last year in an old water butt I made into a planter and is growing well.
A couple more roses in pots, I have forgotten the name of the near one but the far one is Ronald Dahl







Out the front of the house you can see this one called Buttercup and a standard rose called Iceberg




It has a very pretty flower though the rose does get blackspot
This rambler is Veilchenblau  and took a while to establish but now is growing well

Beside it is a rose called Rosa Californica a beautiful pink wild rose. This one has grown to over ten foot tall and was saved from being thrown away when we did an extension. My wife managed to grow it back from a remnant and went on to take a cutting growing another for the bottom of the garden
Think this is called Pink Perfection and is a small patio rose which we put in a raised bed




Between a Lady Hamilton a beautiful scented rose, it makes up for the lack of one in the pink rose

Nearby is another climber called James Gallway
Forgotten the name of this one by the path but it smells lovely
Blue for you is still putting on a display
Veilchenblau rambles over the Barbecue enclosure 
Ronald Dahl at it's best giving off a sweet sent
Californica keeps blooming
Tottering by Gently attracts the bees
Veilchenblau at it's best
Taking Part in Our World Tuesday

Quite a collection you have there. I wouldn't want to pick a favourite.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

That is a problem which one to choose as a favourite

Linda P said...

You have a lovely collection of roses. It would be difficult to pick a favourite. The yellow one growing up a trellis is an attractive addition placed by a door. Our roses have just started to open in the recent sunshine.

These are beautiful blooms, Billy and kudos to your wife and yourself. The air in your garden must be filled with wonderful scents and I also wondered if bees 🐝 and other insects appreciate Them.

Billy Blue Eyes said...

Got to admit it is one of my favourites

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I only know a few I have to ask my wife the names

Billy Blue Eyes said...

I think they do especially the open ones
