It's amazing how fast a garden can come together with online shopping! It's been thirty years since I put in a rose garden, of course I have favorites from the several hundred varieties I have grown over the decades, I just didn't know those few I truly coveted are no longer available... unless you get lucky! I have been shopping the same nurseries I used thirty years ago, in this day and age longevity is a rarity, but what had me tap dancing and twirling with joy today was when on a lark I found my two missing favorites in an existing nursery garden and they dug them up for me!
PURE JOY!
The unexpected really can delight~
I ADORE Evelyn, I can smell her 50' away, I heard David austin discontinued it, I am so thankful to carry her name on in my new garden.
Honey Dijon, the rich muddy yellow is so striking I can't imagine why it's no longer readily available, to think they dug it up for me at the same place I bought it from at least 10 years ago!
yes, there are garden angels ;-)
The new garden is a long ways off, we need water, deer fencing, structures and statues, but now is the best time for acquisition of bare root roses so I can plant them when the space is ready. Meanwhile I have been looking fondly back at my old garden, eager to feel that first flush of spring year after year again~
Oh, how I love roses! Thank you for carrying on with roses that have been discontinued.
ReplyDeleteYour rose garden is gorgeous! Love all the colors and I'm sure the scents were heavenly. Your new garden will be so fun to plan and can't wait to see what you do with your new place.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are gorgeous Jain!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden gives Huntington Gardens a run for their money. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh the beauty...they take my breath away! I'm blown away by how much you've planted already. Your energy and enthusiasm is contagious!
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love these rose photos! I can almost smell their scent, too.
