This is the week of the roses! Climbers that didn't get a hard prune in late winter are sky-high! Hmm...maybe that's a chore I can permanently cross off...never have they bloomed so profusely!
This is my favorite climber of all~Zepherine Drouhin! Intense, heady fragrance...knocks your socks off, really! AND, it's thornless! What's not to love?
Too bad this beauty is scentless but it's the 'biggest' rose I grow. Petal count in the hundreds, but the name escapes me...
This is possibly Don Juan...
William Baffin climber
Honey Perfume
Even though the roses are taking center stage right now...there are many other pretty bloomers struttin' their stuff~here's just a few.
Have a great day, friends...looks like a beautiful start to the long holiday weekend...ENJOY!
HI Lynn. Your roses are so pretty. I love the Zepherine Drouhin. Does it bloom all summer for you or just one flush? The yellow one is gorgeous. You always have the best looking garden.
ReplyDeleteIt's just awesome!
ReplyDeleteNo words!
What beautiful roses you have. My pink roses aren't blooming yet, but my Harison's Yellow Rose is about done blooming. Our peonies are in full bloom right now, and I did a post about them today. Come for a visit.

Thank you, Lona! Zeph. Drouhin has it's first heavy flush of blooms and if I give it a good trim, it will bloom again sporadically in July/Aug. It's one of my easiest rose...no rust/diseases...plant one if you can. :)
ReplyDeleteMerci, Douce France!
Hi Suzanne, thanks for your visit and comment. Like the roses, peonies are blooming their hearts out, too. I'll be by to see you soon.
Thank you, very much Kiki! ;)

Your gardens are paradise, Lynn!
ReplyDeleteAnd a beautiful holiday weekend it was!
Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good weekend! Your blooms are great! The climbing roses are really spectacular. What a collection. And with little care too? win-win. Actually, your roses are making mine feel really self-conscious!
Hey, thanks, Linda! I would welcome the rain today after the scorcher weekend we've had!
ReplyDeleteHey, Chuck! I can say the same about your blog photos! And I'll gladly trade a corner of my garden for possessing a fraction of your writing skills. ;)
Mary Jane, you're so sweet! Glad you had a great weekend.
Wendy, are your roses are newly planted? My climbers are at least 6 yrs. old so they're quite established. Come another week or two and they'll look pretty bad with spots and beetle infested foliage...I'm too lazy to spray!
I love your roses. They look so pretty against your white fence.
ReplyDeleteWow they are so beutiful! The only thing blooming around here is the apple trees.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Wish I could grow roses like that. I may have to try the Zepherin Drouhin.
