Everything so early this year...but I'm revelling in roses. Above and below, the one called John Davis.
A rugosa hybrid--I grow quite a few of them--Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. Normally I feel lucky if this frustrating specimen puts out a single bloom in a season. This year, it's a towering plant absolutely covered with blossoms and blooms, completely justifying my decision to add it to the garden, and be patient!
Tuscany, from the 1590's, a gallica. I grow lots of gallicas!
Camaieux, a striped gallica, from a later period--19th century.
A damask, Quatre Saisons, the fabled Four Seasons Rose, also known as the Autumn Damask for its reblooming ability. The oldest rose I grow, dates to ancient times.
More to come. Many, many more!
