February is Rose month and a good time to feature my roses in a post. All except two bushes have had at least a few blooms lately. All the pictures were made in January or February. None of my rose bushes are ever just loaded down with blossoms like some I see in magazines. I never have much success photographing all the bush. In fact, they aren't all that impressive to look at as a bush, but I love individual close-ups of the blossoms. First up is Old Blush (1752) a China with continuous repeat blooming but no fragrance and is not especially good for cut arrangements. Louis Philippe - 1834. As with all roses it does best with lots of sun but, this one will still bloom in part shade. It is a twiggy bush with sparse foliage. Beautiful crimson color and keeps its cupped shape. Clair Matin, a newer rose but I don't remember the year. It is a sprawling bush and repeat blooms in big clusters. I love this one with its flowers that reminds me of fruit tree blossoms. A delicate beauty. La Marne from 1915 La Marne is a Polyantha and both the bush and flowers are small. This is a "found" rose and has an interesting story. It was recently named after a lady by the name of Peggy Martin from Louisiana. Peggy lost her house, both her parents and their property in the flood from storm Katrina. After the water dried up the only living thing on Peggy's property was this rose which was still blooming. She gave a presentation to our rose society meeting and brought tiny Peggy Martin roses started from her bush. I am happy to have this rose. It is a climber with small cluster roses. This is intertwined with a bottle brush tree. I love the lichen growing on the tree. This is Cramoisi Supe'rieur with blooms much like Louis Philippe except for the little bit of white on the petals and mine is a much smaller bush. One of my best bloomers, Ducher - 1869 A great performer and seldom has black spot. By the way, I don't spray any of my roses. G. Nabonnand , another favorite of mine with its beautifully formed blooms and it is nearly thornless. Marie Van Houtte. A beautiful cream color tinged with pink on the edge of the outer petals. Knockout. The only modern rose that I grow. It is problem prone and not a favorite for growing in Florida weather. Mutabilis. A single five petal rose with interesting color variations, starting with a creamy color changing to pinkish and then almost salmon. Sometimes called the butterfly rose because full of blooms it looks like a bunch of butterflies has descended on it. I have had to whack mine back so much that it does not have a chance to bloom as well as it should. I have two more small roses that have not bloomed lately. I will show those when I get some new pictures. ~~~~ Thank you for staying to the end with so many pictures this time.

This week has been a blur. I was working early in the week to get things here to a point where I could leave them for a couple of days, so I didn't worry about anything while I was in Lynchburg. Wednesday and Thursday, traveling to and from Lynchburg to give my presentation at the cemetery ... Friday, catching up on work here. Yesterday, I took my mom to Lynchburg for their Rose Festival (more on this another day). This morning, I could finally exhale, take my coffee and my camera to the garden, and see what's out there. I knew the roses are early this year, and I knew that things were beginning to bloom faster than I anticipated, but I had no idea of the beauty that happened while I wasn't looking. I was so moved that all I could do was stand in the Rose Field and try not to cry. It's THAT beautiful. (you can click on any of these photos to get a larger version.) Noisettes in the foreground, Portlands in the middle, and ramblers on the left. Geschwind's Nordlandrose, with America (the rambler, not the modern climber) on the right. Shailer's Provence. Can you see why this is one of my very favorite roses? Some of the Chinas, left to right, Hume's Blush, Gruss an Teplitz, Ducher, Old Blush, Napoleon, Jean Bach Sisley, and Cl. Pompon de Paris. Portlands in the foreground (Glendora, Rose du Roi, Rose du Roi a Fleurs Pourpres, and another Glendora), Geschwind's Nordlandrose in the back right, and Vanity on the top left. In this photo, Autumn Damask is the rose in front, and I also see Tuscany Superb, White Bath, Shailer's Provence, and Zephirine Drouhin. Looking west toward the barn. The opposite view, east toward the garage and the house. Noella Nabonnand, Tea Climber, 1901 A detail of the flowers on Zephirine Drouhin ... she is a beacon of hot pink in the garden. Kathleen Harrop shares the arch opposite Zephirine Drouhin. This is still a very young garden. All of this was created in the last two years, if you can believe it. We prepped the ground for this garden two springs ago, and the first roses went into the ground during the first week of June that year. Photos cannot capture the feeling of standing in the middle of this many roses. There's so much to see, I don't know what to at look first. Everywhere I look, I find something beautiful. It's something that MUST be experienced in person. Because of this, I am going to open the garden for visitors next Sunday (May 16) from noon until 4:00. I still have weeds everywhere (though there aren't as many as there were a short time ago) The rambler fence looks like a haystack. The nursery roses may or may not be ready ... but that's not the point. There are FLOWERS in the garden, and I'm itching to share them. If you're local, please plan to come. (If you're on my mailing list, you'll hear about this again in an email.) (written by Hartwood Roses. Hartwood Roses blog.)
