It seems I'm not the only 'rose-tragic' out there! Thank you for the many lovely comments on my last post. Because I promised, here are just a few more roses in bloom at my farm garden right now - I couldn't resist a little French title for this post considering so many of these roses are French Delbards!
'Henri Matisse'
Gorgeous soft red splashed with white paint strokes. Works beautifully with all my David Austins.
Released by Delbard 1995
'Camille Pissaro'
Another painterly rose, a real stunner, golden yellow, red striped
Released by Delbard 1996
'Citron Fraise'
A very pretty rose, ivory edged with raspberry.
Released by Delbard 1998
'France Libre'
Not sure if I will keep this one. It is an 'in your face' orange. I don't mind a soft burnt orange, but this screams at me a bit. I will keep him a little longer & see if he grows on me!
Released by Delbard 1995
'Le Reine Victoria'
Another amazing old rose, always laden with heavily cupped blooms.
Released Schwartz 1872
'Angel Face'
A cute, frilly lavender coloured rose.
Released by Swim & Weeks 1968
'Jumpin' Jack'
A low grower, with beautiful stamens on open blooms
Released 1997
Happy weekend everyone!

ReplyDeleteLove the Henri Matisse, first saw it in a country style mag. Yours looks great and inspires me to find one!!!
ReplyDeleteoh keep 'france libre'! i think that it would look stunning in a mixed rosie posie with the other pinks,red,and mauves! they are all so wonderful, thanks for showing us!
ReplyDeleteOhhh more beautiful roses. Each one is better than the last!! I think I might have to get some Delbard roses for my garden!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful, your garden must be gorgeous, and smell divine.
ReplyDeleteTres jolie!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a welcomed break - love looking at your roses and the photos are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteMerci beaucoup! I love them all! The orange is very fun and the Angel Face is a fave of mine.
ReplyDeleteWhere we live, we have these nasty critters called Japanese Beatles...may your garden by forever free of them!
I walked past the rose section at Junee show this morning and the scent transported me back to your garden! So lovely to see such pretty blooms - hope we get out there to visit soon!
ReplyDeleteThe roses are beautiful...keep the orange one...every garden needs someone a bit loud!
ReplyDeleteHi, lovely to stop by your beautiful blog (Liz recommended it to me). Oh the roses are so sweet - I can almost smell them!
ReplyDeleteThey are all simply gorgeous...Its amazing that something so beautiful can make you curse at pruning time! Lisa
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I wish I could grow more. Beautiful pictures. Ann :)
ReplyDeleteHow divine, I can just smell the perfume.
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing all those roses to us. I just love, love the first two. I never knew there were so many roses.
ReplyDeleteALL of your roses are GORGEOUS!! I am not usually an ORANGE fan but that one is stunning. How about just picking those for a table centerpiece and you could do the table in greens or blues along with your orange. :D
ReplyDeleteI hope I can find some of these in the states--my rose garden needs some spiffing up (tossing those roses that just won't perform!).
ReplyDeleteThanks...
It is soooo beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing! :)
