Summer roses

in #gardening7 years ago

Although many people are posting pictures of snow, It is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and I am enjoying my garden. I always appreciate looking at summery pictures when it is cold and miserable and everything is dead and brown where I live so I'm hoping to brighten some reader's days.

These are climbing roses but I am trying to grow them into a bush. I discovered them struggling under the grass in a corner of my house. The garden had been completely neglected for many years and I dug the bush out and put it in a pot, expecting it to die. I was really surprised when there were new shoots at the graft and they started producing these big plush blooms.

Does anyone know what this rose cultivar is called?

Sort:  

We that live in the south hemisphere are rare human beings. The great majority of humans live in the north.

Moral: Hard work never goes in vain.😊

Wow beautiful roses, I wish I were posting rose photos and not snow photos! Maybe in January I will have the chance to get out of the cold!!

January is nearly here!

Really awesome roses....

Lucky you! Theres -5 in my city :c

I couldn't imagine living like that for months. It only snows a little every 20 years or so where I live

I think you have better roses in your garden these are looking like dry

Love the roses :) we have similar ones on our balcony as a part of our urban gardening and they are so beautifully fragrant.

They do smell good

Thank you!
