Roses…finally!

Oh my!  over the past few days, we have finally seen some roses open up.  Mind you – not only do we get the blooms, but every rose planted here at Fishtail Cottage is fragrant.  So while I garden, or just sip my coffee on the patio – I get the pleasure of enjoying all of the aspects of owning a rose! 

Climber – Colette

(my favorite climber & so fragrant, disease resistant!)

By no means are these all the roses in the garden, several are still getting ready to bloom – which makes me so excited that I have more I can share about my roses!  Below are a few photo’s of Roses in the landscape.  Top photo – ‘Winchester Cathedral’ with Iris, ‘Leander’ with Snowball shrub and ‘Ruffled Cloud’ with yellow lupine.

Now don’t think these roses are perfect, they are definitely not! With all the rain we have had this year, I have plenty of black spot and yellow leaves – this next couple days – will be a clean up for my garden beds – as I’ve taken a hiatus over the past week due to a death in our family.  Still cannot talk about it…but will in time!  

To see where I am linking to this week – please check my “Cottage Links” label…

They are gorgeous indeed! Did you say Colette is your favorite climber? Is it a repeat bloomer? Have you ever had New Dawn climbers? I had those and loved them and now I can't find them here anywhere. Is there a comparison between Colette and New Dawn?

I am so sorry that there was a death in your family. Whether it was expected or not, it is never an easy road to travel...and changes your life in ways you only could begin to imagine before it happened.

Blessings to you and I will keep you in my prayers. xo Diana

I never realized you has so many different types of roses. What do you do when they have the spots and yellow leaves? I am planning on buying a climber and I am gathering as much info as I can. All of yours are lovely and I can almost smell them!! ;-D

Oh how pretty! I love the first one and the white one best. I have some climbing roses...William Baffin, I think, they used to look so beautiful, but are looking rather sad now.

Hi Tracie..I just had to stop by and admire your roses! I love the Collette, such unusual colouring and such a full petalled rose too. Your garden must look wonderful at the moment.

Beautiful, but painful. My rose selection is so limited by our zone 3. I would so love some of the roses you have. They are perfect. Thank you for sharing, even if it made me a bit jealous.

Oh my gosh these are incredible! I planted my first roses about 3 weeks ago...yellow knock out roses. I am terrified they are all going to die. Any advice?

The first one is my favorite! But they are all beautiful. My roses still have a bit to go. We're a little later with things in the garden than the Seattle area.

I'm sorry to hear about your family's loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Tracie, the roses are beautiful. It is difficult to have many roses now that have fragrance. I have many roses but only one variety, Mary Rose, is fragrant. Isn't it heavenly to walk by and get a whiff of that perfume? The garden is wonderful for taking the mind to another level.

Your roses are beautiful and were worth waiting on. You have a better climate for roses than we do in the South,ours have to be super hardy or you will worrk yourself to death trying to keep them looking good.

Your roses are absolutely gorgeous, Tracie! All my spring flowers - including my roses - have stopped blooming. Now it's just the lilies and the Queen Anne's lace to keep me company with my coffee. ;)

Blessings,

Wow! Beautiful roses - someday I hope to be good at such a sophisticated plant! I think Brother Cadfael is my favorite. Or maybe Ruffled Cloud...

Tracie, your roses are stunning. I've planted carpet roses in 2 shades of pink along the walkway out the front. Not particularly fragrant but vigorous bloomers.
I also have New Dawn on a trellis out the front and one in the back.
Thinking of you during this sad time.
Hugs,
Judith

Tracie - these are beautiful! I can almost smell them from here! Lovely, lovely. They look great - I wouldn't be able to tell you've had so much rain on the leaves. I bet the rain helped the blooms, though. So sorry about the death in your family.

Tracie, Your roses look lovely. Be happy for the rain! We've gotten just about none. So few flowers this year. Sigh..

I enjoyed 'yours' so much since my rose bushes are not blooming. I love reading all the names!

Those roses are absolutely amazing! I came by via Susan's party, but I missed it myself. I took pics of my pergola all dressed up this afternoon (with the 2 hour lull in the rain), and I REALLY hope you'll stop by and take a peak, and let me know what you think of the progress! :)

Thank you for sharing your roses with us. I can almost smell them in my living room. I especially liked the Blyth Spirit and Heirloom roses. Living in an apartment, I miss the gardens and grass and roses of my youth. I appreciate what you are doing. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!
