English Roses for MD

That's a new one to me but it looks very nice. I do like that form and color. I kind of like the name, too. Named for a Thomas Hardy novel, if memory serves. Yes, it is! This is an interesting rose because it is a color I would call butterscotch most of the time, but it runs the gamut from that shade back to pale yellow and up to what is almost a blush color. Really subtle gradations of color differences day to day. Very vigorous on its own roots. [about Scentimental] I've never been crazy about striped roses. Perhaps it's time I tried one. The pictures I've found of this vary. I've seen white with pure red, orange-red, violet-purple, and burgundy. How red is the red? Or does it vary? I would call it clear cranberry and white--snowy white, no cream or yellow at all. I love the colors--to me it looks less striped than, perhaps, brushed with color. It is the first rose I bought three of. It is the scent and the old fashioned, loose form, PLUS the each-bloom-is- differentness. But it blows faster than any bloom I've ever seen, so yuo have to really love it and look hard when blooms first open or you might miss them! I've got photos of my garden but need to go back and find them and get some scanned. On the other hand, I finally got on the bandwagor and ordered a digital camera. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow. So, this year I should have lots of photos. Stay tuned. Whoa! What did you get? I am thinking about a Canon, but am still looking into it. -- Henry |
