Many years ago, I planted roses in the guest house garden. The have been sorely neglected over the years until this year when I drastically trimmed them. To my surprise, they responded to the trimming and are healthier than they've been since they were first planted. I planted this rose just this Spring and I really like it. It buds out a deep apricot.
Then it turns almost peach.
Then yellow.
And lastly, almost white before it drops it's petals.
This is a mini red rose. I love it's glossy leaves.
Some of my roses are just about to open.
But most of my old plants are covered in buds.
This is one of my favorites, Morden Sunrise.
It's so delicate and the colors are so beautiful.
I have so many bushes planted and they are all different colors. Many years ago, I had my fortune read by a gypsy in Ireland. I had to climb into her horse drawn gypsy trailer to have my palm read. She told me she saw me surrounded by roses. I was very young and had no interest in gardening at the time so I didn't think much of it. Yet ere I am, surrounded by roses.
She never mentioned Baptisia!
