Flury of flowers

Took these pictures the other day of some of the flowers that have popped up far too soon.
Peonies, Rose (heritage unknown), and purple flower but I can't remember the name :headslap: [ATTACH]66434[/ATTACH] Alpha-bed rose garden finishing their first flush. :( [ATTACH]66433[/ATTACH] Wind chimes, jelly container and hummingbird feeder nestled by a Blaze climber. [ATTACH]66435[/ATTACH] |
Beautiful......but how come nobody else has weeds!

Just a couple more....
Earlier morning shot of yard and blooms. [ATTACH]66436[/ATTACH] Rose bush. My aunt let me dig this out of her garden last year and am happy it survived the transplant. Only problem is I have no idea what this bush is. I'm thinking it's some kind of species rose as the thorns are very fine on gray coloured canes. [ATTACH]66437[/ATTACH] Iris, poppies and unknown rose bush. Still to bloom, yucca, tall phlox, loli-pop and stargazer lilies. :) [ATTACH]66438[/ATTACH] |

This year, I broke down and bought 2 yards of black mulch. Hubby & I layed it down (about 4 inches thick) on May 24 weekend and haven't had to weed since! :clap: I'm loving the extra time on the weekends now. :thumbs up |
What a [U]beautiful[/U] garden, klm! I love all the trees and shrubs I can see in those photo's, and how lush and green the lawn is, without all the lovely flowers as a bonus . Our annual rainfall here is so poor that we can't have a garden like that, not in Summer anyway. My Spring garden is okay if it rains.

Queen Elizabeth Climber. This climber is about 40 years old! :eek:
[attach]66439[/attach] J = J.A. MacDonald [attach]66440[/attach] Mon Cheri. This one is in the "X" spot as I have yet to find any rose starting with X. Planted Mon Cheri in Fall of 1997 and I bought it from of all places, Canadian Tire! It's one of my better roses. [attach]66441[/attach] |
Last batch--I promise!

They're all hanging out at hazel's house :frustrated: :o Love the early morning panorama, klm! What a view to wake up to! :cloud9: All your flowers are so beautiful! Love your lawn ornaments and creepers, too! :D [QUOTE=klmccallum;927078] Rose bush. My aunt let me dig this out of her garden last year and am happy it survived the transplant.

[/QUOTE] My parents' neighbor had one like that--they're really robust and can get out of hand pretty quickly :D (Unless hazel takes some of it home...then it just dies :frustrated:) I forget what they called it...some sort of floribunda or something? Or is that just a class of rose, not a variety name? :o |

I have a rose dictionary book whereby this bush closely resembles the Rosa Californica, "Plena." shrub. :shrug: Just by looking at the thorns and the colour of the meat on the canes, it looks older than a modern shrub. :shrug: Oh hum.....I'm gonna keep guessing. :D |
Wow, I have climbing Queen Elizabeth but she hasn't flowered so far. That is certainly something to look forward to. Beautiful!

Here's a good close up of Rosa Californica Plena, klm. What do you think? I can't find anywhere that mentions the growth.

[url]http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.133285[/url][/QUOTE] My 3 inch paperback book says that Plena is a semi-double form bloom and is a much more useful, decorative shrub which produces orange-red fruit. So far, this is the only description that I can find that closely describes the unknown as far as it being a wild rose. :shrug: |
Sorry, I see I could give you a better page for that rose. Now you'll have to go count the petals. LOL. Hope these links helps. It's a very old rose if it is this one, introduced in the UK in 1894.
