Your roses are stunning, chico! I could never grow roses--not even the little ones on the bushes that supposedly take no work and need no attention
You must have a special rapport with the prickly beasts!

It's kind of old-fashioned to grow roses but not difficult...the pink one is about 30yrs old,we brought it with us when we moved here..

Chico I love your garden. I have a few rose bushes in my yard too. I don't care how "old" they are, they are so beautiful. I love roses. I love the way they smell and love the way they look.

Beautiful roses, Chico - I love the yellow rose! I don't have yellow roses and they are my favourites! Only two of my roses are scented - the Peace Rose which was just moved so probably won't bloom this year and a light pink rose - I have no idea what it is - it came with the house... Yours are truly beautiful!

HO,I have one deep,darkred rose growing right under a window and it has a very strong smell,makes the room smell really nice with the window open,love it
The secret,I think,of growing healthy roses is to deadhead them and trim out any gangly shoots. My only problem is blackspots late in the summer,still trying to find a cure for it. I do all the right things,water in the morning,water only the roots,but it's hard with the humidity we get in the summer,just perfect for blackspots

I have ONE older red rose that smell really strong,it's under my hallway window and I can smell it in the house.
The others are just pretty to look at,not much smell. Yours is really pretty I just bought a white rose,called the John F Kennedy rose,it smell pretty nice too.

I love the JFK roses. Have seen them before. I also have seen a picture of a garden that had only white flowers in it. Don't remember where it was but just beautiful!

I loved JFK and still remember my mom and I crying the day he was killed and we were in Sweden.
I too love the rose named after him,so far only 2 blooms,but it has lots of buds.

Nice JFK rose. If I remember correctly they have a good scent too. I haven't had hybrid teas for a long time now. Always loved white roses.

OMG Chico your gardens are BEAUTIFUL!!! I just love the roses!!
I have some Maltese cross as well, and mine grew so high this year. (do I cut them back when they have finished blooming?) Terim, I have one of those roses, it's called "Oh Canada" My Hubby got it for me from Home Deopt on Canada day last year. I'm sick with envy too. Although I love gardens and flowers, I just can't keep up with those pesky weeds

Happycats,just dead-head the Maltese Cross(cut off the dead flowers)and it will continue blooming all summer..
I usually sit on the deck having my morningcoffee,but that little spot down there is great for watching the birds at the feeders.

Oh your roses are beautiful. They are my favourite flower!
Your gardens remind me of an oasis! It must be so relaxing to sit in your backyard with your morning coffee. |
