More roses for the garden


I have finally decided on a few more roses for the backyard. They are all David Austins and they'll look pretty picked in posies with Icebergs from the hedge out the front. Above is the lovely Heritage which I know is a favourite of many people.


Above is Jubilee Celebration and below is Lady of Megginch. I ordered them online from Treloar Roses and just hope that they don't sell out and I have to revise my choices!

I also purchased a lovely camellia for the backyard. It's called Volunteer which I think has got to be one of the most unimaginative names possible for such an over-the-top frilly, decorative bloom!


I'm looking forward to this bud coming out...

Anyway, Happy Friday! I've got the weekend off so big YAY!!
Have a good one :)

    That picture of the Jubilee Celebration rose is heavenly!! So pretty! I love camellias - such simple, perfectly formed, pretty blooms. The ones you've chosen is going to look so lovely when it flowers. Hope you have a great Friday x

    I love your roses Sarah!! I have one rose bush, dark pink, not sure of the name horrible when it comes to that in gardens, but I do know that I want to figure out how to transplant my neighbors deep orange ones to grow next to it :)

    Have a fantastic time off xo

    These roses are gorgeous, and that camelia is going to be stunning when the blooms open up!! I have Heritage rose in my garden, too, and love it! It doesn't hold up very well in the heat of summer, though.
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
    Hugs ~ Jo :)
