My Cecille Brunner has had a really long period of bloom this year. There are still quite a few buds left. It is usually done blooming in May.

When I first came to Calif. and saw a Jacaranda tree I thought its beauty greater than lilacs & flowering peaches together. It was one that had foliage & bloom simultaneously.

Outrageous is just that! Peter Mayle looks as tho he'd be an excellent companion. But I love more your photo of Comtesse de Provence. Gruss has so much color and love Janet as usual. Great color capture on the clematis. Eye candy for sure.

Soooo dreamy...I am listening to some melancholy Brooke Waggoner while viewing your photos and it was other-worldy.

Thanks for sharing; I am jealous of the climate that allows you to grow such beauties. The color of Francis Dubreil reminds me of the Oklahoma rose I love and haven't been able to grow.

These are great photos. It looks like I can reach out and touch each rose. I also enjoy seeing what each rose really looks like, color-wise.

Wow!!

I just love your Fragrant Masterpiece and Mm. Berard. Those lovely full roses are so intoxicating to look at!

I love your Outrageous - so frilly and full. The color would look so lovely with the blossoms on your tree!

Man, I would love to get Bishop's Castle - yours looks fantastic!!!
