Rose image gallery

In addition to posting your photos here for us to oooer and ahhhhh over why not upload them to the rose gallery too? The goal of the rose gallery is to have a database of rose ID-type pictures for people trying to identify unknown or found roses

I better go first hey Tas

I think you should TheE. Have a look at it first though. The idea behind it is to show different roses for ID purposes but also that varieties can look different in different areas. So state your location so that others near you can get some idea of how they will look (though it's not really fair in this case cos ALL your roses look so good )

A few sick looking ones ATM, weather has been rather funny over the past 4 weeks !

Here's Henri Matisse, my first successful cutting. I'm in Vic

looking really great Val

Val, you provide me with fresh roses in the time I could only show them with the 'autumn touch' (means mainly BS), thank you

cheers
Bernhard

You did the same for us, Bernhard - you're very welcome

Nice photos Val ! The bloom in the earlier post looked great too.

Lovely pics, Val.

Can't wait to see my Ebb tide flower. I'm a very impatient beginner.........on a steep learning curve.

I think my 'Ebb Tide' has gone to God. It is still green but I don't think it's going to recover from the dog/chook/ducks attacks on it... despite being fenced off now in its own wire cage. Of well... got plenty of other purples to try and can always try with again next season.

Is that last one 'Paul Cezanne' Val?

No, Simon, that's Brindabella Swirl. It's not a strong looking plant as yet so I'm waiting for it to prove itself. Nice pastel combinations though.

Ahhhh.... will be waiting easgerly to see updates on it then... to see if it lives up to the hype

The sunshine here is opening the rosebuds

Same Val... albeit very slowly... only a few early ones out so far.



That's about it at the moment... lots of buds around... not a lot of flowers... 'Altissimo', on the other hand is covered in flowers.

Very pretty Simon, I like Golden Chersonese a lot.

It reminds me of buttercups... and is totally disease free here... and that's gotta be a plus. It strikes form cuttings pretty easily too though my plant is grafted. When I get a spare few minutes I'll try making some own-roots to see how it goes like that... I'm not keen on the effect of the modern understock on this variety.

Some more blooms enjoying the sun,

Just to let you know that Brindabella Swirl died
