We are thrilled with our roses this year. Although they are always a sight to behold, never before have these beauties grown so abundantly. We have taken time out to snap some photos for you, and couldn't resist adding in a few photos of some of our rosy textiles currently available on the website! Hope you enjoy our beautiful blooms!
The white rose above is Iceberg Climber and beneath it grows the exquisite Rosa Mundi, one of the oldest known striped roses. It brings to mind raspberry ripple ice cream!
This beautiful rose has the most divine perfume. Some years ago, we took a cutting from a 60 year old plant and was amazed it grew so well - we have since taken other cuttings which are becoming well established in the garden.
This is a definite favourite; the beautiful blowsy pink barkcloth rose! Available to buy in the shop!
Here is another amazing success story. This is a delicate pink rose with multiple blooms and was grown from a small cutting just a few years ago - it now fills a corner of the garden!
This delicate trailing briar rose is a real beauty and adorns a long length of unused eiderdown fabric, also for sale in the shop!
This lilac coloured rose is Harry Edland, a gorgeous rose with an exceptional and distinctive perfume; it smells of sherbet!
This deep pink-red rose is from an old oil painting we have for sale; it is a stunning, 100-year old, yard-long painting.
This is another big 'n' blowsy favourite of ours which has grown nearly 7 feet high this year!
We hope you liked the photos and would love to hear how your roses and flowers are doing this year!
Hello, your roses are absolutely stunning, what is is about roses? they make me feel so happy and you are right the roses are very abundant this year I wondered if it was because we had such a hard winter. In the evening when you sit in the garden the smell is heavenly.

ReplyDeleteHi, Clare, your roses are beautiful! This must be the "year of the rose" - I now see this in our garden and I was told this by our landlord on our trip to Provence three weeks ago. So it seems that througout Europe roses are blooming gorgeous this year!

Loving your rose photos, both real and fabric! I'm a sucker for David Austin roses and have a few varieties in the garden like William Lobb, St. Swithun etc. You can never have too many roses in my opinion.
ReplyDeletebeautiful roses! I love all these pictures-just stunning :)
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a lot of roses like that before. I never thought that there are so many kinds and color of roses. They are all beautiful. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. The Iceberg Rose is one of my favourites in the garden, closely followed by French Lace. Oh...and the lilac rose you have is fabulous!

ReplyDeleteNow I get to enjoy yours though!
