    They are all quite lovely! I get to see English roses so much more rarely than their American counterparts. I love both varieties though!

    Oh Chris, the roses are beautiful as well as your photographs. I’m so jealous of your old roses! I want old roses instead of the hybrids. Any suggestions where to purchase them? I live in zone 7 in SC. Thanks!

      Mary,
      Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I know of a small independent nursery in Virginia, HartwoodRoses.com that specializes in old garden roses. Connie is a wonderful rosarian who gardens from the heart and I’m sure you could find some suitable roses from her collection. Old Garden Roses will come to you small, but grow quickly and once established will bring generations of beauty to any landscape.

    Hi Chris, tell what are your favorite cut roses, those with a long vase life and fragrance. I know, I want it all. ;-)

    I love the Austin roses, and Benjamin Britten has a fragrance of candy. Lovely pictures.

    I love Mary Rose, however it never lasts in flower arrangements. Is that common or am I do something wrong? Actually they don’t even last that long the bush.
