Hello Gorgeous

13 comments:


Every Spring around mid May,
I say the same thing....

"Hello Gorgeous"

 the English roses bloom and I remember why I love them so much


 floppy, layered and beautifully scented like sweet tea


 I cram them into every container I can find

let them wilt and droop and drop petals




 so romantic and well worth the wait


plant a little romance in your garden

    Mine are just starting, but I have some Falstaff in the house right now. Love them! David Austin has definitely hybridized some beautiful roses!

    Holy gorgeous, indeed! They are lovely and exactly what I want. Besides English, have you shared the type of roses they are before...or would I just google "English roses?" I'm new to gardening, so I apologize if I seem a little clueless. I'll click that little "flowers" button to see.

      They are David Austin English roses which you can find now a many nurseries! Or you can order them on line but they usually only ship them around the first part of every year when they are bare root and dormant. I would shop around

      Thanks so much, Kelley

    Just glorious. I may have to give them a try. Although I don't think they love the climate in SW Florida, they are well worth a try...and they are the closest I will ever get to a peony here.
    Best...Victoria

    Incredible! We're preparing to landscape our back yard and I want some roses to pick for bouquets. These looks perfect, but I'll have to see if we can grow them. I'm a ways south of you. BTW, LOVED your spread in Country Living this month!

    This is my very favorite rose...it reminds me of Peonies....which you know we cant grow in Southern California...this rose reminds me of times long ago...they are beautiful!
