My favorite roses are David Austin roses.
They look very similar to peonies and many of them have a beautiful fragrant scent.
I have one David Austen rose bush in my backyard, but its on its last leg for the season, so I thought I'd share some photos I found online. (Mine look similar to the William Shakespeare variety)
Aren't they gorgeous? Looking through these photos makes me want to plant some more!

ReplyDeleteThank-you!
DeleteI don't know roses, but I like the Shakespeare ones you showed us. My mother loved roses. I just never learned to care for them. I know they can be fussy.

Hi Laura, they are a little fussy to grow. I only have 2 rose bushes and so far they have grown pretty well considering I only prune them in the spring and water them! I know I should be doing more, mulching, fertilizing and so on... I really do love them though. : )
DeleteHi Kathy, I love Pink Roses and miniature ones also! Flowers always soothe me and make me happy!
ReplyDeleteYou have a really sweet and pretty Blog! Hope to see you stop in again and I would love to visit right back :) Blessings, Roxy

Deletegorgeous! i'm in love with these...awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love them too! Welcome and thanks for stopping by. : )
DeleteHi Susan, I would have to say the William Shakespear roses are my favorites. The colors are so rich and vibrant, but in some areas a bit toned down. Completely Shakespear. I love them for that reason.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and thanks so much for visiting my blog. I really appreciate you stopping by.
