One last look at the center rose garden before walking back to the
back porch.
Now we'll walk along the back of the house towards the west. Planted up
near the brick wall is chinensis viridiflora, otherwise known as
the Green Rose. The brick wall provides
warmth and protection in the winter, otherwise it wouldn't have made
it through the winters here. Isn't it lovely?
Further west, we come to the start of the garden of
Old Roses.
This garden is really several gardens that run along my fence line
along the northern and western fence, the eastern fence and around
the dog pen.
The first rose we see is Deseree Parmentier who is just finishing up. Two weeks earlier she looked like this. Next to her, Blush Damask is just starting to get going. The yellow rose further on down is my unknown yellow climber.
Strolling in front of the roses. We see
Variegata di Bologna sticking out a branch full of large striped
blossoms.
Next to it is the unknown yellow
climber stretching its branches over
Honorine de Brabant, a bourbon that will continue to put out some
blooms all summer although not like this initial flush.
