Garden View: Summer Roses, Roses d'été

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Summer can be sweltering, but when I take a walk in the executive mansion garden, the old-fashioned rose garden lets me forget the hot summer heat.

The last yellow rose is gorgeous! I love it. I have not seen one so big and yellow before. And the single layer roses in the first and second pictures are lovely also. I would love to be in this garden to admire the roses ;-) TQ for posting. Have another enjoyable day!

I'm with Steph, I like the last yellow rose the best.

Roses have enchanted people for ages. There are many old-fashioned rose gardens in Bermuda. So much so, that several local books have large sections devoted to the subject.

It must be so beautiful walking in a rose garden that has been established a long time ago and sports many old fashioned roses which are not seen so often now. The scent must be delightful.I love the single, pink rose. In Switzerland I planted many single roses like Cocktail etc. Here in this warm, hot climate I mainly grow tea roses, climbing and bush- as they do best.
