Everything’s Coming up Roses.

I just counted up and I realise I have tot more than forty rose since I came here , some of them grown from seed or cut and others buy . But still there are not enough , I sha n’t be happy until every tree has a blush wine cascading from it . Let ’s start with my seed - maturate baby , really you could n’t call the first one a baby , it has grown to the top of a marvelous holly and cascades down very glamorously in a torrent of white foam .

Its founding father was the scarily vigorousRosa‘Kiftsgate ’ and its mother was ‘ hymeneals Day ’ . I think it looks lovely with the flushed leaves of the Forest Pansy , ‘ genus Cercis canadensis ’

My next one is more unemotional in ontogenesis , it ’s female parent was the lemony ‘ Paul ’s Lemon Pillar ’ which was a favourite of Vita Sackville- West and I am not sure who the father was . There was a big criterion surface in one of the beds here which had to go , not just because it was called ‘ Golden Wedding ’ but because I do n’t wish stock rose . I cut it down because I was too lazy to dig it up . From the base there grew a adorable , vigorous rose which now climbs on the fence . I do n’t know what it is but the ugly standard had obviously been grafted onto it . It is so pretty and has endearing sheeny leafage .

I have find that some roses are very prosperous from cuttings and some quite stubborn . The pretty diffused pinkish mounter ‘ New Dawn ’ is very wanton .

‘ Albertine ’ is loose from cuttings too , I love its deep pinkish buds and delicious fragrance .

I have intercourse the simpleness of single prime andRosa‘Cooper ’s Burmese ’ , also farm from a carving , has huge white bloom and sound , glossy foliage .

‘ Cooper ’s Burmese ’ is very burred and very vigorous but I have two much more vigorous unity totally covering the misfortunate orchard apple tree trees that they are climb up up . The first is ‘ Paul ’s Himalayan Musk ’ which is a great favourite of mine , it has sea fleeceable leave-taking and masses of mild pink flowers .

Peachy ‘ Treasure Trove ’ is probably even more vigorous as it was a seedling of ‘ Kiftsgate ’ . I did n’t recognize this when I plant it . I first see it looking fantastic on a tree in my admirer Anne ’s garden where it was beautifully trained and perfectly behaved . It has smothered the apple Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree where it is growing here and clearly has designs on a nearby pear tree tree .

Some of my climbers are much more restrained . The endearing tea rose ‘ Lady Hillingdon ’ mosey lazily along the wall and can hardly be bothered to raise her beautiful heads which are a scrumptious apricot semblance .

The previous owners plant the climbing David Austin ‘ Teasing Georgia ’ in the nuance of a weeping willow and with nothing to go up up , now she has a support she is growing much better and puts up with the shade without complaint .

‘ Alberic Barbier ’ does n’t produce very tall either , he has not climbed very luxuriously up his tree yet . This is a endearing rose with showy leaves and gorgeous rather shaggy double cream flowers .

I have another mounting David Austin rose with very jolly , very fragrant flower . It is called ‘ The Generous Gardener ’

In the front garden there are two silvery weeping pearsPyrus salicifolia . Why somebody think that two weeping pears side by side were a in force idea I do n’t recognize . But never mind , they make secure mounting frames for the purpley - reddish blue ‘ Veilchenblau ’ and the delightful clusters of ‘ Felicité Perpetué ’ .

Of of course many of these climber and rambler only have one abbreviated second of glory but they do n’t all bloom at once . The lovely individual ” Francis . E. Lester ’ is only just afford its buds and ‘ Blush Rambler ’ is still to come . Then there are a few like the resplendent ‘ Phyllis Bide ’ which seem to blossom all summer . I have it on both the arches into my secret garden and it is a wonderful flock .

So far I have just mention some of my ramblers and social climber but that is enough for one post . As I am totally intoxicated by roses at the moment there will be another rose post very presently .

The shrubs in my garden do n’t even face like roses when compared to your glorious specimens , Chloris . I ’ve got just one climber and not a single rambler . The whimsy of a pink wine climbing through shrubs is lovely but , with my limited winner with grow rosiness in my sandy , alkaline soil , they plausibly are n’t the best investment funds I could make . Do you prune your rambler ? I ca n’t imagine the rig that would be required to do so !
