Roses and more roses

Haven't had any roses on here for a while so I am putting on some of ours.

Dolly Parton. My Sony camera doesn't take a good red, I miss my Nikon. Dolly Parton is a beautiful shade of bright red, and has a super perfume too.

This is Fragrant Charm, another different red

This is High Hopes such a prolific grower, I am continually cutting off huge branches to try to keep it down but only more grow, but it is a lovely delicate pink with a nicely shaped bud

Jopsephine Bruce one of my mother's favourites, has a lovely perfume and a lovely shape too.

Josephine Bruce

Brandy is another lovely shaped bud, similar to Just Joey

April Roses

BrassBand, a gorgeous orange on the outside and buttery yellow reverse

April Roses

Lovely Joyfulness, changes colour so often

I looked at the blooms first and thought.. that doesn't look like Dolly. Brass band looks more orange to my eye too
It's not only refreshing to have someone posting, but I love your blooms.
I too, love Josephine. Thanks

Thank you Inga, so nice that you are still looking in. Thank you also for your nice comments. The photo of Dolly Parton doesn't do her justice. Wish I could borrow Mary Ann's camera to show it off properly. My Brass Band is quite orange, lovely buttery yellow on revese - photo is fairly true to colour.

Hi Heather, how nice to hear from you. How are you doing? I do hope you don't live anywhere near Christchurch, and that the earthquake didn't affect you in any way. We are thinking of you all and feeling so terribly sorry for the people in N.Z., and now Japan. Poor people, bad enough for the quake and tsunami - but now the nuclear power plants under threat it is even worse

Thank you,

Hi Cheryl, The best time is when it is cold. We plant bare rooted in June-July August at the latest, but I've even put them in at any time and hoped for the best. Roses are very resiliant and if you cut them back to a healthy point, they will usually grow with a good water and a root stimulant. Nice to see you coming to visit even with all those rotten ads that have completly ruined what used to be a lovely site.

Hello. Lovely show Trich, I haven't been here for awhile, those trash adds turned me off and then my computer completely crashed and I've not long installed a new one with Windows 7, which I'm struggling with. I think I need to do a formal TAFE course or similar to come to grips with it. Anyway, will persist.

regards
bill
