The ping pong rose or January Bouquet

 A mix of pink roses saved from the rain. A new rose for me which has done so well and I think goes so well with the other (perhaps more frowsy) blooms is sweet Rosa Pomponella is a Floribunda (cluster flowered) rose with small dark pink flowers in an almost pingpong ball size and shape. It has a neat dark green habit and at the moment is covered in bunches of blooms.

 

November bouquet

A lovely cluster of David Austin roses planted this time last year as bare rooted stock from Trelors; Brother Cadfael, Eglantyne, William Shakespeare, Heritage, Alnwick Castle and Dublin Bay which is not a DA but doing marvellously well this year.  

October bouquet

First blooms of the David Austin roses planted very late last year but they look to be show stoppers now and in a few days time with 30 degrees upon us. These two are not Austins but have been flowering since the beginning of October.

 

The red flower is climbing Dublin Bay and the pink climbing Cinderella. All my roses come from Treloar Roses as they are consistently the best bare rooted stock I have found.
