Our lovely roses
kathiemt on Feb 3rd 2008
Our roses seem to be coming out in phases at the moment. I walk down the street and see gardens (on the same side of the road) that have bushes constantly in bloom but ours don’t seem to do that.
One of my favourite and most prolific rose bushes in our garden is the Graham Thomas rose. Not co-incidentally that is also my husband’s name. Our daughters bought it for us 2 or 3 Christmases ago and I put it in the garden near the front gate where it gets the most sunshine. It grows crazily throwing up branches high into the air and I’m often pruning it.
It’s like one of those old-fashioned roses with a magnificent scent. I’m always torn between leaving them in the garden or picking them and having in them in the house to enjoy.
This is a gorgeous rose! The colour is exquisite - I, too, would have trouble deciding whether or not I should bring in some blooms or leave them on the bush. I think I’d want some indoors … they have such a serene quality to them.
Hi!
I agree that the rose is beautiful, I have it to but we have a cooler climate than you so we must have it in a poot ant take it in in the winter.
Best regards Ken
Maybe Graham was actually named after the rose?
Kathie,
What beautiful roses! I love the pictures you share. It shows your passion for life.
Have an awesome Monday!
