She is a climbing rose of old fashioned beauty-sumptuous and so very romantic.She grows well and has 2 main flushes followed by lesser showings.
A light scent-but who needs knock-you-over perfume when you look like this?Sometimes I think I love her best of all roses-but then I get distracted. :)
A scan

Oh wow! Sandie, that's sumptuous, luscious and I want several! Thanks for sharing - for some reason it reminds me of Jane Austen and crinoline gowns. Just gorgeous.

That is truly beautiful Sandie.
Is that one of the "old garden "roses?
BTW your photos are beautifully presented-do you use a software program such as Digital Image or something?
Thanks

Michelle, I don't know what Sandie does - she will no doubt tell - but often painting the inside of a box BLACK and then paying the roses carefully on the flat bed scanner will give this beautiful effect.
The Altissimo isn't done this way, there's sky behind it.
Well done Sandie.. most pleasing to the soul :-) |

| Beautiful Sandie. It's one of my favourites. Sally |

Thanks folks-It pleases me that you like my scans.
Altissimo is also a scan-he has a faux background-that is it is a photo that has been 'painted' into the background.Makes a change from the black background.
I use a flatbed scanner and Paintshop Pro7.
Michelle-she's not an OGR-she just has the look of one.
thanks again
regards

Sandie-Thanks for the info-paintshop seems to a well thought of product from what I hear.
Fran -the black box is a wonderful idea!! I will give that a go.
I have Digital Image Suite 10 (bought on impulse)but the instruction book was so complicated I didnt even give it a go!! I will when I get a quiet moment.
I think the black background brings out all the colour of the roses. Sandie your pics on black are outstanding.
cheers

| Sandie - I have lost my heart totally - have to have Blossomtime. Maybe several. Thank yo so much. As usual, your "photographs" are the best that I have ever seen - particularly the Altissimo - absolutely stunning. |

| OK - now I have to have that one too - LOL :-) |

I think falling in love with pictures of roses is a dangerous thing.
My Henry is loking at me sideways every time I call him in to look at another beautiful picture, guess he sees another truckload of soil coming up the road anytime. !!!
Thank you Sandie for sharing your flowers with us.
How about a picture of your garden where they are growing /

| What a wonderful photo of Blossomtime. Thank you. I fell in love with Blossomtime when I first saw it trained on semi-circle hoops on both sides of a set of descending stone stairs. It looked fabulous. |

| Awesome picture! Lovely..where have you got this rose in your garden? I've had one in a pot for a year as I am unsure of where to position it in order to display it at it's best...magic and thanks! |
