Almost missed my Alchymist, it was almost done blooming. Finally, after six years of growing it, I built a nice trellis for it. I hope next spring it will really show off!

I just can imagine how beautiful your garden must be with all these blooms!!!! I would love to stroll thru your roses someday....your garden is so lush. Heavenly! Thank you so much for sharing and I`ll be looking for more. Lesley

RE: Half a ton of photos!

OH--Art Nouveau is wonderful. I want, I want!

And Ghislaine de Feligonde is grand--let her eat up that tree!

And those pics of Alchemist--exquisite! But then, so many of those pics are amazingly beautiful.

And your Pompenella on steroids--I just planted one this spring and hope mine is even half as prolific as yours.

Love 'em all, Marina!

Love the ready made posies on Perennial Blue .
The perfume in your garden must be mind blowing.
Who needs oak trees, with Ghislaine de Feligonde around?
What a lovely looking rose "bounty."
Looking forward to the "many more"

RE: Half a ton of photos!

As usual your roses are stunning, with so many interesting varieties, and great, big blooming bushes and ramblers. Please keep posting, it's such a pleasure.

Yummy!!! Ferdy and Alchymist are outstanding! I have them both, but still in 1g pots...makes me want to get them in the ground asap! Also your GdF is HUGE!!! I thought mine was big, but its only half the size of yours eating the oak tree (mine is slowly eating my fence).

Lady Salisbury I'm not familiar with, but love it!

Awed! That's the only word to describe how I feel after seeing these, Marina! You have more blooms on any one of those plants than I can hope for in my whole garden for a whole season!

RE: Half a ton of photos!

I would love to stroll through your yard, too many beauties to even begin to choose a favorite! I truly envy your collection!
Completely jealous of your Ghislaine de Feligonde which is trying to eat your oak tree! Stunning!

Beautiful as always Marina! Love that ART NOUVEAU! And what a gorgeous thing that ALCHEMIST is. Too bad it doesn't repeat, huh?

Only one word says it for me "WOW". I'm a modern rose grower so am not used to seeing the lush beauties of other types in such profusion. The only thing that holds me back is all the deadheading you must have to do. Lots of work I'm sure, But still - WOW!....Maryl

Nice pictures. You have quite a collection there. Thanks for sharing.

RE: Half a ton of photos!

I don't have enough time to write everything I would like to say, so I will just say a few things. Geschwind's Shoenste paired with Lamb's Ears is a breathtaking combination. Now I will have to copy that. The photo of a large flower bed- ahhhh. Your roses are some of my favorites- and I have never seen them in such profusion before. Alchymist, Pomponella- yours are the prettiest ever. Thank you for the photographs- I will return again and again.

RE: Half a ton of photos!

I was so happy to find this thread to thrill me during our gloom of late November. And I wasn't disappointed in what I found...a fabulous pictorial walk through your garden in its spring flush. I love the lacy masses of flowers in the Three Weddings--Purple Skyliner bed. The roses' frothy blooms blend beautifully with the airy Baby's Breath(?). Ghislaine is a wonder--I think the oak had better surrender to her. And I have to mention Alchymist's arresting color which is incredible. Thanks for the walk, Marina. Can we have another stroll through your glorious garden now that it's so cold and dreary up here in the north? Diane

RE: Half a ton of photos!

I'm glad Diane found this thread. What a joy to see so many beautiful blooms! I second her request.

thanks again-----Florence

It's hard for me to believe (here in zone 3) that roses can get like that! Your ramblers are gorgeous!!! Such a profusion of blooms!! Seriously well done!

Wow! I am so loving these blooms that I saved the link with all the names in case I have a rose garden one day. What a treat! Please post more of your blooms. Love, love them!

RE: Half a ton of photos!

Love 'em, second time around, third time..., 4th time .... : )

Wonder how long it will take my little Ghizy to strut its stuff like yours does! Love those pics.
