David Austin roses

Dear readers,

Having given you a small virtual tour of my garden in my last post, I´d like to show you some of my roses in more detail this time.

Since my David Austin roses are one of my favourites, I will introduce three of them in today´s post.

                     I´d like to start with a classic: Gertrude Jekyll

I am really happy with my Gertrude Jekyll rose, which I bought about four years ago. My garden is rather small and I thus cultivate some of my roses in larger containers, Gertrude Jekyll being one of them. So far the rose seems to like its container and surprises me with beautiful pink flowers and a lovely old rose fragrance every year. 

                    

                    Another pink beauty: Mary Rose

I bought my Mary rose three years ago and it is becoming more and more beautiful every year. I absolutely love how the blooms change througout the different flower stages. At the beginning the flowers are a bright pink and then slowly fade to a light pink. Shortly before withering, the blooms very much remind me of peonies. Just gorgeous and also easy to maintain!

                

                             Last beauty of today´s post: Strawberry Hill

Together with another rose named Nahema, Strawberry Hill is climbing up the rose arch in my garden. Its  lovely pink- apricot flowers smell of honey and the plant´s glossy dark green foliage looks pretty too.

Well, this was today´s post, hope you enjoyed,

Lisa
