Roses in my garden
Hello fellow rose lovers,
I'm an occasional visitor here, as well as rec.gardens.edible. I garden in Southern Ontario, Zone 6 ... b ... I think. I'm an organic gardener, for the most part. This past winter, I had a lot of dieback, despite the deep snow, so I had to cut all the rose canes back to about 6 inches, HT's and Austin alike. I don't know if it was the severe pruning, or the weather, or both, but something really worked for them. It's has been unusally cool and wet since the spring here ... English weather, really, and the roses have been pretty spectacular. Graham Thomas and Penthouse have been the best I've ever seen them, despite many different kinds of munching insects and larvae. Evelyn did well considered she got moved in April, and Fair Bianca did fairly well in her sweet, dainty way. Every summer I keep a photo journal of my garden, and put some of the highlights up on my website. This is my July Garden page: http://home.ca.inter.net/~stevedor/EGarden3.html And this is an extra page of rose shots that I've put up temporarily: http://www3.sympatico.ca/great/msee.html The roses are pretty much finished for the moment, and the scented lilies have taken center stage, but they'll be back soon. If the season is mild enough, they've been known to bloom until Christmas. Wishing you all the lovliest of blooms, EV |
