These are very pretty.
‘Dream Come True’ is outstanding, Chris! Wow. Love it.
Thanks Kylee, it is a favorite in our garden. This rose was hybridized by a home gardener and actually made it to mass market… Glad you stopped by!
Chris a nice selection. Looks like a little moisture has formed your way.
We had two days of rain that gave us a good soaking. Very glad to see it come….
“Mr. Lincoln” is one of my all-time favorites. Your “Dream Come True” looks stunning, though.
Thanks. This is my second Mr. Lincoln. I have a bed just for “Presidential” roses. ‘Ronald Reagan’ “Lady Bird” “Barbara Bush” and of course Honest Abe….
It is a bipartisan effort to bring dem and rep together… if no where else but in the garden! HA!
Oh good for you! When I taught at the University of Oregon, I was friends with the wife of the President and she used to let me tend the Presidential Wives’ Rose Garden : )
Very nice Chris! What English roses do the best for you?
Mary Rose and & Benjamin Britten are my best performers. Benjamin does will in a little shade…
One of my first roses was Mr. Lincoln (and me from the South
. I grew it on the Oklahoma plain. Can you imagine. That thing was tough! And lovely.
Your picture of Dream Come True with the water drops is absolutely beautiful. We had this rose, but it didn’t survive two winters ago. It was the only rose we lost. Our Mister Lincoln is trying to give Veteran’s Honor a run for its money this year. I enjoyed all your photos from your beautiful garden.
aloha,
love the roses especially sentimental, thats one floribunda, wish i could grow those in my zone
Your roses are so beautiful and I love the first photo of ‘Dream Come True’-so fititng for the rose. Happy GBBD!
Very nice. I love the look of Scentimental. And the second photo is so colorful and enchanting.
Lovely roses. I featured roses this month on GBBD too, the only one we had in common was Scentimental. I love those variegated roses. I would follow you but I only do Google Friend Connect and I don’t see that on your blog, as emails get too oppressive.
Oh my goodness, that first picture is just breathtaking! I love roses, and I’m s a sucker for roses that have varying colors. Glad to find you through the bloom day!
Lovely post…the rain drops are the icing on the cake, so to speak
WOW, wish I had your green thumb. Beautiful!
Your roses are looking wonderful! I especially like the photo with the urn, and Scentimental is still a favorite since you introduced it to me.
