I took these pictures yesterday:
This is our Ancient Mariner and there are still buds to bloom and huge flowers passing over.
This is the second bloom on our Peace bush. There are 20 buds to come out on it.
This is our red In Loving Memory and this year we have had more blooms together than ever before.

The roses are just glorious ❤️
There are just so many this year. The white ice berg we bought for Maggie is still in bloom but most of those are going over. There are still are buds to come out though.
The scent must be amazing
The red one is very strong.
The roses must really like the hot weather!
We have clay based soil here and apparently roses thrive in it.
Just lovely! I’m partial to the White and the Lavender roses! 💜
My dad grew a ‘blue rose’ which was actually a very pale lilac. He gave my sister a cutting and it flourished. I wasn’t in a position to have one at the time which was a shame. The white ice berg rose is very showy.
You’re so lucky to have such gorgeous flowers in your garden
The Ancient Mariner and In Loving Memory were gifts, but we bought the Peace rose, and then when we lost Maggie, the white ice berg. We bought two yellow climbers to weave in around the clematis and they are doing well this year too.
You must be great gardeners 😊
Nope. Hopeless. We’ve had luck with veg, but other flowers, no. The roses seem to thrive in the clay soil, so apart from pruning at the end of the year and deheading as they die, we don’t actually do very much.
I think I need more rose bushes in my garden…
We have six now, and the yellow climber is having a second show too.
We inherited our present garden, a very wild uncooperative jungle, all brambles and mare’s tails. So far, it has rejected most of my efforts to introduce flowers. I am trying again this year with dwarf sunflowers and dahlias…
Good luck! We bought a box of seeds that said it contained 15000. Hubby dug a small horseshoe shaped flower bed and we sowed the lot. We had some fantastic flowers for about 8 months until the last one died. Then nothing. We got Maya and she started digging in the flower bed, so that’s gone now. We had to put protection round the rose bushes but now she’s bigger, she doesn’t want to eat them.
Not advisable anyway!
Roses roses all the way.
thank you
The peace rose is beautiful. We had one of those in our yard when I was a little kid and it fascinated me.
I love the way it has a pink rim. We have never had so many blooms on it in one go though.
thank you so much for sharing those beautiful roses on your posts!! I can virtually smell theirw wonderful fragrance! The soil in this area isn’t conducive to growing roses, or I just don’t have the right knack or skill (probably the former). Something about diabetics (some) whose body chemistry is pretty lethal to plants. 😦 So I get a vicarious jolly through seeing your gorgeous blooms! Thanks Di!!
I’m the kiss of death to houseplants, but our roses look after themselves and we just keep them tidy. Peace is going to be spectacular in a couple of days.
I love roses! This is stunning!!
Thank you. They have been fabulous this year and still coming.
Mine too!
