Hi,
Besides tomatoes, I love roses. Ok I love most anything that grows. ![]() Here's Fantin Latour, a centifolia, on the one side of the entrance to the veggie garden. ![]() ![]() Belle de Crecy, a gallica rose is on the other side of the entrance. ![]() This is Hansa,a rugosa, at the back of the veggie garden. ![]() ![]() This is Marie Pavie, a polyantha. ![]() This is Belle Isis another gallica rose. ![]() Here's Marchessa Boccella, a hybrid perpetual. ![]() This is Reine Des Violettes, a bourbon. ![]() My favorite smelling rose, Mme. Legras de St. Germain, an alba. ![]() This is Hawkeye Belle, a Buck rose. ![]() Another Buck rose, Prairie Harvest. ![]() I'll stop now. I could go on. ![]() Remy

Wow, Remy! Those are breathtaking! My favorite is that big, fat white one. All your foliage looks so nice and healthy. I just cleaned my roses up yesterday and they're not nearly as happy. I don't know what any of them are. The previous owners planted them and my husband bought this house 15 years ago so they've been here a while. They take a back seat to the veggies but I do what I can to maintain them when I get a chance.

Just beautiful, Remy - in my next life, given a hospitable climate to do so, I'd love to get more into roses. We've had several in our Raleigh garden, all but one now gone (Graham Thomas, English Garden and Winchester Cathedral, all Austins (WC lives on), and a few historic ones - Alfred de Dalmas (moss rose, aka Mousseline), and Jacques Catier, a damask - incredible fragrance on that one.

Shelly,
Thanks! I think you're lucky to have bought a house with the roses, but it is a lot of work. I am nuts with trying to take care of things. ![]() Honu, I will for you as soon as I get a chance. ![]() Craig, I know it is a lot harder to take care of them down your way. I've been there in the humid heat of summer! That's good to know that Winchester Cathedral is a tough rose. Marchessa Boccella is often thought to be Jacques Cartier and Marchessa does smell great too, but I'm not so sure they are the exact same rose. I have a mini moss, Dresden Doll, but I still do have to acquire a full sized version. I've always loved pics of them. Remy

Your roses are beautiful. I love them too but mine look nothing like yours! Do you do anything special for them?

Hi Rosel999,
Thanks! Besides all the pruning, I really don't do that much for them. I do believe in the $20 hole for a $2 plant(prices really should be increased since the time I learned that. ![]() I don't spray for foliage diseases. I try to pick out roses that are winter hardy and known to be disease resistant. I do use insecticidal soap for all the aphids, but otherwise, I sort of have a survival of the fittest kind of garden. ![]() Harleysilo, I'm glad you enjoyed the pics. Remy
