Rose Vignette

It's much easier to sell the type of roses I have when there are actual flowers on hand to show.  This is a no-brainer here ... with the garden all around us.  At a plant sale, it's a bit tougher.  Photos just aren't the same as holding the actual flower to see its color and smell its fragrance.



I cut some roses this morning to bring along with me to the plant sale.  I plopped them on the bench so I could take a couple of garden photos ... then I noticed what a lovely, informal vignette they created.  Here are 'Shailer's Provence' (left) and 'John Hopper' (right) with a tiny peek of 'Marie Pavie' behind.

Gotta go ... now I'm running late.

  3. John Hopper? Never heard of it. But I just ordered it off the website. Don't know where I'm going to put it, but resistance is futile.

  7. I love roses too...although I do not have your experience. We live by the coast we means we have major trouble with rust and powdery mildew (ewwww)
    Because I have a mostly organic garden, I hate to use chemicals with my 20+ roses...
    Got suggestions?
