Some picture of my roses

You all really need to get one of these to dig your rose gardens Like Anne, I'm jealous too Kirra! Looks like you have plenty of space. You really have an opportunity to go beyond the mainstream varieties and experiment a little. In Brisbane you might find excellent results with the old Tea roses. We (my parents) have 10 acres on that property. The bed in the pictures is for experimenting with different types of roses. It was really hard trying to plan it because we did not have any idea the exact size/colour of roses. I'm sure that some of the roses will have to be moved because they are too small for a spot or too large. We have planted Monsieur Tillier, Rosette Delizy, Mrs B R Cant and Francis Dubreuil in the Tea range. When looking at sizes I couldn't find one for Mrs B R Cant, I guess the name sounded dainty so I planted it in the same space range as the HTs. I've since read that it can get 3m x 3m so it is definitely going to have to move. I'm still on the look out for which ones to put in for next year, so if you have any suggestions, I'll be glad to take any ideas. We also have two Noisettes, Madame Alfred Carrière and Crepuscule growing up against the brick wall that you can see and a bourbon Louise Odier up against the wooden fence. We want to be able to see and enjoy roses from the balcony and from the sizes I've read of MAC, I think it will grow up over the top of the railing. I'm planning on taking some pictures soon of the garden with the roses planted, however I think you will only see brown dirt and a few green leaves here and there. Maybe in a years time or so it might be more green than brown Kirra Brisbane, Australia zone 10 |
