TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ Just Roses

Those of you who visit here regularly will know that
I LOVE ROSES. Yes I do. As Marlene Dietrich used to sing
'I can't help it'.

Here is 'The Spirit of Peace' strutting her stuff because I do
some deep watering during our super dry summer by dribbling
a hose for two hours or so hours in one place near hear root zone
every two weeks.



Amazing what a little water can achieve.
This beauty is 'The Children's Rose', part proceeds go to UNICEF.
She is an incredible continuous flowerer with a lovely scent.



'William Shakespear' lifting his face to the sun, again a superb
scent. All my roses are chosen for scent and repeat flowering
except for just a few and even there I manage t coax a few out
of season blooms out of them.

Thanks to Luiz Santilly Jr. and the Team, we can share and
enjoy our flowers around the world.

  12. So beautiful, there is almost a fragrance ~

    This reminds me to look into how I can protect our roses better this year... Last year, the beetles were ruthless!

  15. These all all stunning blooms! You have a green thumb and I know roses are yours and Luiz' favorites!

    The redness of the Shakespeare rose is superb!

    Our spring time rains hopefully will bring beautiful roses in the botanical gardens!

  16. Roses are my favorite and I post them frequently. Don't you find that people are always stunned that roses can grow in such a dry climate? I live in Arizona and our roses during our winters are absolutely gorgeous too! Thanks for sharing these beauties with us.
