Roses in our Yard- June 2013

Last week,  I showed you 12 of our blooming Hybrid Tea and Grandiflora Roses in our yard--after a rain... If you missed that post,  click HERE.   Today I will show you 12 more  of our 57 different varieties in our yard.

We have had alot of rain this spring and it was a cool spring --making things bloom late.  BUT--once the roses started blooming,   many of them bloomed.   Hope you enjoy seeing the next 12 in our collection.  You need to click on them to see enlargements.


A Cappela (taken on 6/4/13)


About Face (taken on 6/1/13)


This is also About Face --as it ages (taken on 6/5/13).  Still pretty,  isn't it?





Double Delight (taken on 6/1/13)


Glowing Peace (taken on 6/4/13)
 


Fragrant Cloud (taken on 6/5/13)


Gemini (taken on 5/31/13)


Ingrid Bergman (taken on 6/4/13)


Lemon Spice (taken on 6/3/13)


Love and Peace (taken on 6/1/13)


Sheer Magic (taken on 6/1/13)


Pink Peace (taken on 6/6/13)
Hope you enjoyed seeing more of our beautiful roses.  As I've said many times,  I enjoy the roses probably more than any of our flowers.  This is George's baby --since he is truly the 'father' of these beauties.  He brings a rose inside and puts it in a vase almost every day --just for me.  LOVE IT!!!!   AND--I enjoy walking the yard twice a day to check out the new blooms..  It's also nice to sit on the bench and just smell the roses and gaze at them... Life is good on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee.

Have a wonderful Monday.

I stopped by today and did an "About Face" when I saw "Ingrid Bergman." I tell you it was "Sheer Magic" and I felt as if I was walking on a "Fragrant Cloud" experiencing "Pink Peace" that continued to cause my "Glowing Peace" after seeing this beautiful star. I offered her a cup of "Lemon Spice" tea, and drinking tea with her was a "Double Delight." Soon "Gemini" appeared, and she left with words of "Love and Peace." I am left to sing her praises "A Cappella."

Thanks to my friend, Sally,  for posting this wonderful comment on my blog today.  I loved it --so I wanted to share it with everyone.  Check out Sally's blog HERE.  Thanks, Sally.... I LOVED it!!!!

Hugs,

    Hi Betsy yes these roses are as nice as the last ones. Do any of them smell? A lot of modern roses do not smell nowadays and it is such a pity. When I moved to my last home, there were 1,200 roses!! A lot of pruning!! Margaret

    'Smell the Roses" is one pastime you are able to wallow in. Lucky you. They are all beautiful. I wish there was a smell app for our computers so we could smell them too.

    Your roses are so perfect. It shows that you and George love and care for them.
    My favourite today is the Lemon Spice variety as it's such a delicate pale shade of yellow. All the ones with curly petals are pretty.

    Lovely blooms Betsy... do you know that I hadn't planted a hybrid tea in 20 years or more. I dawned on me this spring how much I used to enjoy creating bouquets of roses from the gardens for my wife and how much she appreciated them when we were considerably younger... so I ordered a dozen plants and we got them installed. I'm looking forward to bringing back our little tradition from the past and I honestly could care less whether the roses come through the winter or not... they were cheap enough that a single season will be a gift... any longer will be a special gift!

    Hi Betsy, Thanks for sharing the closeups of these beauties. It would be difficult for me to choose a favorite. I would like walking around the yard checking on their progress during the day, too. (and enjoying the fragrance) Have a good day.

    Thank you for sharing your roses with us. I wish I could grow some in my yard. However, since mostly what grows here is in a pot I doubt that I could grow a rose bush. I can just imagine the fragrance in the air from the roses. Have a good day.

  21. BethJune 10, 2013 at 8:27 AM

    I have my coffee and have enjoyed sitting here taking the tour of your roses. It would be better in person, but I'm grateful I get to see them any way I can.
    I checked back at the other 12 and my favorites were Rio Samba and April Nector. I love the combination colors and the softer, muted shades of apricot and peach. My least favorite color is red.
    Of this 'batch' my favorites were gemini, sheer magic, and pink peace. But all of them are gorgeous and I would consider it a blessing to have even just one of them in my garden.
    Thanks for sharing, Betsy. ♥b

    You've probably figured out by now that I love flowers, but truthfully, don't know a whole lot about them. How long will these gorgeous roses bloom? Will you have them for the remainder of the summer?

    Absolutely gorgeous !
    The flowers have been more vivid this Spring, I can't help but think the heavy rains we have had, helped with that.
    You must take lots of care with your roses, they always look deliciously healthy.
    Thank you for sharing Betsy and George.

    About Face for sure is my favorite today. It looks like two different roses in color, shape, and texture. Maybe that is why they call it About Face??

    They are all so perfect. Bugs and fungus would not dare to touch your lovely roses, I guess. They don't seem to mind touching mine!
    We're finally getting a few rose blooms. I love having the rose scent in the air.

    I couldn't resist making up a funny little story about your roses. This was a game we used to play with my dad when we looked at a map on our travels. Lovely flowers today. "About Face" is fascinating.

    Beautiful! Would love to have roses, but I know they require lots of work and more sun than we have. We are looking at some "knock out rose" bushes, but I'm not sure we have enough sun for those either!
