The roses are blooming away happily in our farm garden, oblivious to the impending cold ...
... and the autumn leaves are starting to colour.
'Paris 2000', a French Delbard rose with its mesmerising stamens
Silver birches colouring up
The sweet Rosa 'Perfume Perfection'
And this is what happens when a rose gets confused! This is a David Austin rose called 'Winchester Cathedral' which should be a pure white. But because it has been bred from 'Mary Rose' which is pink, sometimes it sends up a throw back to its origins. And so I have this bicolour rose with an identity crisis!
Beautiful pictures! I especially love the Paris 2000 roses, simply stunning!

ReplyDeleteYour garden looks divine and I too am a lover of the garden and especially roses.
I love love love David Austen roses but living here in Sydney they don't always do so well.
I guess alot of the deciduous trees out your way will be turning lovely colours by now, a couple of pictures would be lovely if you get time.
Thanks for the photos - makes my heart soar to see such beauty. Must be a great joy to come home to. Love Belinda
