I wanted a climbing rose, and this one is very sweet. I hope it's a fast climber. It smells wonderful, and looks really nice against the back fence. I can't wait to see how much it grows this year. Its supposed to quite a prolific bloomer.
Its still in it's pot. I'll leave it as it is for this summer, and repot it next spring.
Meet Queen Elizabeth. A very lovely floribunda. I wanted a pink rose, and this one is just perfect. Very regal and stately as one would expect. We are very much amused.
Good morning folks. Well...I said I would show the new roses that I got recently, so here goes. I'll show each one in a separate entry - otherwise there will be too many photos to load in one post.
This little one I just couldn't resist. It's a floribunda called "Just Married". When we got it home, there were a few small buds on it. I was dying to see the open flower...so curious to see why it was called Just Married. Well...when the buds opened, it was perfectly clear. There was so much frill and flounce - the flowers look like a pink negligee. Very, very pretty.
I'll continue to grow it in a pot as I will want to take it with me when we buy our own home.
I was browsing the local charity shop the day after I bought this little rose, and saw the perfect container for it. It's a bucket ! Love it. Baz has already drilled a few holes in the bottom, and I hope to replant it later today.
So there we have it. Just married and her bucket. All she needs now is a mop, and she'll be set for life. Yeah...right.
