Rose Picture Gallery

The garden here has over 300 roses planted in all the borders. There are many David Austins, whose flower forms and fragrances I really love. One border is full of Rugosas, and there are climbers covering all the fences, the two pergolas, and several archways. It's impossible to have a single favourite rose.

Climbing Roses...: Colourful climbing roses cover the pergola at the back of the house. The rich red beauty is Santana.
Crepuscule Summer Roses...: Crepuscule is a soft apricot thornless climbing rose which adorns one of my big wooden pergolas in summer.
Climbing Rose Westerland...: Wsterland is a strong tall upright rose, with flowers in apricot shades. The petals are translucent, and they have a soft subtle fragrance. I grow it in the house patio garden.
Kronenberg Rose...: Kronenberg roses really are this bright when in flower! Another name for this hybrid tea rose is Flaming Peace.
Rhapsody in Blue Rose...: I love George Gershwin's jazzy music - and I love this rose, named after his most famous piece of music. In the Moosey Garden I grow Rhapsody in Blue standards as well as shrub roses.
Aotearoa Rose...: Aotearoa is the Maori name for the country of New Zealand, where this beautiful porcelain pink hybrid tea rose was bred.
Benson and Hedges Rose...: The beautiful Benson and Hedges rose has a rather non-PC name! It's another bred by famous rose breeder Sam McGredy.
Sam McGredy Rose...: Many of Sam McGredy's roses, like this stunning hybrid tea, are brightly coloured.
Solitaire Rose...: Solitaire is a beautifully rich golden rose, bred by Sam McGredy.
Claude Monet Rose...: Claude Monet is a subtle striped shrub rose, and oh so photogenic!
Golden Celebration...: Golden Celebration is one of my favourite David Austin roses. The soft buttery yellow petals have a cupped form, and the bush itself grows quite tall in my garden. Often the flower-laden canes flop over and the flowers spoil (a result of my no-staking policy).
Honey Yellow Rose...: This rose has flowers in the most beautiful colours, which make me think of warm honey and sunshine. I think it is a David Austin English rose.
Masquerade Climbing Rose...: Although the climber Masquerade is susceptible to rose diseases, its bi-coloured clusters of blooms are worth it. It's not uncommon to have the yellow and deep pink flowers side by side on one stem.
Ouch!...: All rose lovers know what these are. They catch our hands, our clothes, and even our hair.
Mermaid...: This tough country rose grows along the back fence.
