The Joseph's Coat roses I have shown you before are still among my favorite roses. We have had more than a dozen blossoms on the climbing vines this year and more buds forming. Very exciting [and worth stopping to smell for sure :) ] xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-13785527784082413102015-07-07T16:05:48.561+01:002015-07-07T16:05:48.561+01:00Forgot to say - love your cards and tea cosy.Forgot to say - love your cards and tea cosy.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-66836068782333543882015-07-07T16:05:05.576+01:002015-07-07T16:05:05.576+01:00I love roses but especially those with a good smel...I love roses but especially those with a good smell.Gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234219836891799676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-69316224538681228822015-07-06T23:19:38.281+01:002015-07-06T23:19:38.281+01:00This made me laugh.

You grow Rosa Strawberry Hill and I grew up and went to school at Strawberry Hill and I grow Rosa A Shropshire Lad in honour of my mum who was born in Shrewsbury. I've just bought R. Lavender Lassie to mark my mum's birthday last week because it was bred in the year of my birth and I love the colour and scent but next year I think I'm going to have to look out for R. Strawberry Hill. I loved the photos of your daughters sewing and crocheting. Liquid seaweed fertiliser applied as a foliar wash is my top tip for keeping roses in tip-top health plus lots of home-made compost as a mulch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-83376696217000261772015-07-06T22:35:56.896+01:002015-07-06T22:35:56.896+01:00I love roses and yours are spectacular.

I plant one in each house I have lived in since my mum died as she loved roses and white roses were both our favourite. I recently planted (as in last weekend) a yellow climber too which I think is called Golden Celebration it is a David Austin Rose and this one is in memory of my friends mother who died five years ago this year and she was always like my second mum. Having lost my other friends mum last year at the age of 90 years and 5 days I am now on the lookout for one to plant in her memory. As pink was her favourite colour I might take your recommendation and look for Strawberry Hill.Lazy Days & Sundayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981937294479619947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-47549057232447944102015-07-06T07:29:13.751+01:002015-07-06T07:29:13.751+01:00chicken manure pellets.

I picked some last year for rose petal jelly (don't tell the gardener). I opened a jar yesterday and the fragrance was amazing. Our only rose is beautiful and white but completely fragrance free. xChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-88271484170427973052015-07-05T21:18:58.141+01:002015-07-05T21:18:58.141+01:00Beautiful cards and beautiful roses.

I've always been a bit scared of buying roses as I thought I would kill them! The miniature yellow one is still alive though!

But I have two dear friends who each adore yellow roses so I have looked for and made yellow rose items for each of them. I made some cushions with vintage French yelow rose fabric for one of the and the flowers have gradually grown on me, so to speak. Last autumn I bought a yellow rose called the Pilgrim and it's flowering now. It's a bush at the moment and beautifully scented; it's going to be trained as a climber round our front windows. I think I might be converted. But I also have a deep red Darcey Bussell and the pink A Shropshire Lad and I'm deliberating over some white and apricot climbers for training over our new shed which will be painted blue/green. They will be ordered for next autumn and after that there's going to be a medium red somewhere...All scented roses from DA; how can anyone buy a rose without scent?Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916442932314835859noreply@blogger.com
