I don't have any bright red roses since 'Fields of the Wood' was suffocated by the pole bean and corn crop this year, but I do have bouquets full of roses for Valentine's Day.
Foxi Pavement and Rosa palustris scandens from last May.
Rosa palustris scandens
The roses at the gate and fenceline are "at the edge of the wilderness", so to speak, or more accurately, where the garden ends and pastureland begins. Bidens grow up under the roses but here they often don't gain any size until July or even later.

Ballerina
Cl Old Blush in September
Caldwell Pink
Veilchenblau in May

It's wonderful to see flowers since I'm getting weary of the drab winter scene here. Very beautiful roses!
ReplyDeleteDear Sweetbay ~ The height of romance exists within your lush roses and landscapes. Beautiful!!! Yummy! Carol
ReplyDeleteI am so fond of old fashion roses. Just Beautiful Pictures! I have just planted Ballerina in my garden. I’m so looking forward to getting to know her. It was nice to see you photo of Ballerina. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have your own roses for Valentines! They are absolutely gorgeous and, yes, so romantic. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Sweetbay ~ Your roses always capture part of my heart.
ReplyDeleteWhich roses are in the second and third photos? Sigh!!!
I love Veilchenblau.
Thank you for sharing these beauties with us.
Hugs ~ FlowerLady

Thank you everyone for your comments! FlowerLady the rose in the second and third pictures is Rosa palustris scandens. I forgot to label it when I first published the post.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are amazing. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteI am always in awe of your rose bushes. If I can figure out a spot, Veilchenblau is coming to my house.
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at the scale of your gardens. The roses are so beautiful and I bet the smell heavenly. It must be so nice to have them for bouquets in the house. Are you going to the Spring Fling? It would be so nice to meet you.
ReplyDeleteTina the roses do smell heavenly. I don't know if I can make it to the Spring Fling although I would very much like to!
ReplyDeleteI have extreme space and garden envy at this moment. I can't believe you've been posting all this time and I am just getting to explore your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love your roses clambering over the wooden fence! It's as if this is how they were meant to grow. Your wilderness is beautiful! I, too, hope you'll consider going to Spring Fling; I'm really looking forward to my first visit to North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, stunning photos. Wish I had your roses, your fences, your wilderness.....you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, my NC blogger friend. .

All your roses look natural, not over 'gardened'.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have a copy of your last comment in my inbox (thanks) yet it hasn't appeared on my page. I have no idea why! I also don't have any idea how to make it appear as I don't have a 'release' option as I haven't applied comment moderation!!!
Any ideas?
Hello Sweetbay - I have the same problem as Rob - two lovely comments from you in my inbox that will not post for some reason - but I will thank you here!
