Having a property that is surrounded large trees I am limited in what and where I can plant. Fortunately, my Mother is very kind and close and she has plenty of room and sun, so she lets me plant roses, veggies, and fruits at her place. Here are some photos of the roses I have growing at her house, enjoy!

Glenora

Marchessa Boccella

Marchioness of Lorne

Rose de Rescht

Sombreuil

Poulsen's Pearl

Mme. Zazu

Mr. Lincoln

Just Joey

Sunsprite

Lace Cascade - I planted this one because of a recommendation from the rose forum and I love it, it blooms from spring to fall and is healthy and happy in my climate.

Thanks for looking!

What a beautiful collection of roses, Marchesa Boccella is one of my favorites for fragrance.

Very lovely and difficult to pick a favorite. I had Portland from Glendora for many years and it was always one of my most fragrant roses. Lace Cascade is new to me and a very pretty climber.

Love 'em all--these are roses that are mostly new to me or rarely shown here at GW. Thanks for giving us a chance to get to know them. So lovely.

Thanks, and you're welcome!

I'm really enjoying exploring the world of rare and antique roses, the patio area at my mom's house is filled with different fragrances now and it's wonderful. Every day I wander around like a bee, sticking my nose into all the flowers.

Is it just me, or does Marchessa Boccella have a sort of baby powder type fragrance? It is interesting but very different...

Glenora from Portland is wonderfully fragrant, but I also love the look of the foliage. And the Marchioness of Lorne is one of my all time favorite names for a rose, in my opinion it's right up there with White Pearl in Red Dragon's Mouth.

Anyways, thanks for looking and commenting, I'll keep posting as I get more blooms on my new roses. Have a good day!
