Recently I was rather spoiled and was given a heap of bare root roses for my birthday by sister Kirsty. Today I was admonished for not having posted any pictures of them in the ground. Well the reason for this was that I actually hadn’t planted them yet. Oops.
So today in the wind and rain…
Now I know they are not much to look at at the moment, roses never are in winter.
But when
- Mr Lincon
- Duet
- Zaide
- Sightsaver
- Big Purple
- Winter Sun
- Ice Girl
- Barbara Streisand
- Diamond Jubilee
are blooming under the 2 lemons (in winter coats) and pomegranate it will look fantastic and make the walk along the path into the house a fragrant joy.
For future reference the following are on my list of must have roses.
David Austin Roses- Jude the obscure. Molineux. Sophy’s Rose, Summer Song. Winchester Cathedral. Falstaff. Princess Alexandra of Kent Claire Austin.
Ground cover roses- Amber Sun, Mainaufeuer. Summers Evening.
Climbing Roses- Pierre De Ronsard, New Dawn, Gold Bunny, Golden Gate, Papa Meilland, Peace, Wedding Day.
Rugosa roses- Belle Poitevine, Conrad Meyer. Fimbriata, Freycinet. Roseraie De La Hay, Rugosa Alba, Sara Van Fleet, Scab Rosa.
Fragrant roses- Dolly Parton, Fragrant Cloud, Friesha, Papa Meilland, Vol De Nuit, Reine Des Violettes, Ingrid Bergman, Graham Thomas, Queen Elizabeth, Dame Elizabeth Murdoch, Eternal Flame, Wild Cat.
Cut flower roses- Cherry Lady, Akito, Bugatti, Calibra, Emely, Limona, Poetry, Shocking Blue.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Franky
