All very nice above.. I used to have 'Odyssey', pretty little rose, continuous bloom..

'Silas Marner'.. sweetly scented, wonderful foliage, a great rose from Austin..


'Loyal Companion'.. cute little rose from Peter Beales..


'Odelia'.. bright orange, strong citrus fragrance..

 

Today, Gruss an Aachen

 

and a much more impressive effort from Arthur Bell

 

Rumours on Facebook that RHS have leaked the new DA rose for this year.

If you want to see, have a look at their plant of the year 2024 page

 

Quite a pretty rose but I'm not seeing anything uniquely different about it..

'Cornelia' in the rain today..


'Vanessa Bell'..


''Surpassing Beauty''.. short stems for a vase but scent is irresistible..

 

Picture and description has now vanished. Oops

 

I am back in France now after 2 weeks in the UK. It has rained a lot here, lawn is boggy and we saw overflowing rivers on our way back from the airport yesterday.

I now have roses out, but they have been a bit battered by the rain and a deer got in although I'd put the electric fence up it was knocked down for a night. I saw in on the security camera, handy man, CB, put it back. The deer ate quite a bit of Golden Celebration and Happiness.

Aspirin. Pale pink now but white in late summer.



Jacques Cartier



Louise Odier, she's actually a bit lighter than this.



Burgundy Ice




Cornelia



Rose de Rescht



Astronomia



Graham Thomas



Marie Curie

 

I'm sorry about the deer but what lovely sights to come home to.. all looking lovely..

 

And today,
Munstead Wood,

(Well it's almost there, and it does look pretty, so i'm banking on it opening up today in the sun.)

 

Beautiful. Such a shame to discontinue it
