| This is making me sad a little... However short our winters are, a few months without roses are hard, especially in February. It has cooled down a bit, and the colors and fragrance have been wonderful. I have been cutting a lot of bouquets and leaving some roses undeadheaded for hips (Heritage, all rugosas, Regensberg, the Imposter and Francis Dubreuil are especially good hip-setters).
A late-summer jungle in the back (the roses which you mostly can't see are Angel Face, Julia Child, Violet Carson and Hermann Lindecke)
Violet Carson
Sweet Pea, a beautiful poly from Burlington Roses, and very fragrant
Last cluster of Heritage
William Shakespeare finishing up its fall flush
Gruss an Aachen looking very autumnal, it shows its best color in the fall
Old Korbel Gold, a found HT with a very variable color that is sometimes pure yellow, sometimes mostly orange, sometimes a bi-color like this. Very strong fragrance
A close-up of Violet Carson. The blooms open very well, always great form, fragrant and clean.
Regensberg usually blooms right into the winter despite not being deadheaded
Sheila's Perfume - a very vigorous grower for me, and great fragrance

| Wonderful roses and photography, Masha! Thanks for posting! I have to say that I am usually not into yellow roses but the coloration of Old Korbel Gold is really fascinating! My favorite of the bunch that you posted today! Christina |
|
| What a treat for me. Thank you. Lovely fotos |
|
| Thank you! Beth, my VC always nods too. The plant at the Heritage is spreading and wide. It is wonderful to have it spill over the retaining wall. I love mine! Christina, I love OKG too even though I still can't figure out what color it is:-). How is your Hoag House Cream? Masha |

| I've given up on Hertiage. I've yet to see a bloom. I've bought it 3 times (what with the move, etc.). I'll just live vicariously through your pictures!! :) Sweet Pea is stunning!!! Wow!!! So pretty!! Carol |
|
| Thank you, Carol, and I am sorry about your Heritage. Masha |
|
| Eye candy yikes! Love the lavender penstemon with the pink and yellow roses. Innovative shots! You're setting the bar too high. |
|
| Thank you, iris_gal! |

| Your color combinations in the first two photos are so pretty. I'm going to copy you. I try not to look at photos of Heritage because I am afraid I will buy it and it will hate the heat here. But Regensberg- what a stunning flower! I love the vibrant color and the white center. Renee |

| My Hoag House Cream is down to one stick. I don't know why or what happened, but suddenly two canes became brown and are dying off. At this point I am afraid that I will loose it. That would be really a shame. Christina |

| Masha, What beautiful roses and excellent photography. Thank you, Kitty |
|
| Thank you, Kitty. Masha |
|
| It is rather sad to see the last of the roses, but what beauties they are. Shelia's Perfume is such a pretty blend. So glad you posted a picture of her. |
|
| I so enjoyed your garden. Your roses are so beautiful. I have never heard of Sweet Pea and this rose is outstanding! I cut three large bouquets today as we are having below freezing temps tonight. It is SO sad to say good bye to my roses. Keep pictures coming. It helps us to get thru our long winters. You have a beautiful garden. Lesley |
|

|
| Thank you. |
