Here’s a few quick shots of some roses that I have taken
over the last week or so.
This one is Gertrude Jekyll which I have growing as a climber
along the fence. It isn’t a prolific flowerer at other times of the year but it
puts on a great show in spring.
It’s being a little swamped this year by Heritage, also
grown as a climber next to it. That’s probably my fault since I tend to favour
the Heritage over the Gertrude Jekyll when I’m pruning since GJ is so
incredibly thorny. I will have to let it go a little more.
And finally a shot of Abraham Darby. This rose is taking
a long time to grow for me but it is beautiful and superbly fragrant. I do what
I can to encourage it – maybe it’s the spot, maybe it’s that particular plant.
Happy gardening!
