I have to look up 'Tower Bridge'. I think that in my garden the heat and the alkaline soil influences the color of the roses very much, not always to the better, though...<br /><br />Beth, I am happy that you enjoyed looking at the photo of my rose bouquet :-)! I also got a lot of pleasure from it, the real one that is ;-).<br /><br />Greenorchid, thanks, the description of your red climbing rose sounds fantastic. I would love to know what variety that is. Regarding the black spot, I am sorry but I can't advise you on that. We hardly get black spot here so I don't have much experience with it, but some roses struggle badly with powdery mildew. I don't think there is anything that you can do about black spot except spraying. I think after growing roses for nine years now in Southern California that the best I can do is select roses with good disease resistance to simply not give fungal diseases a chance. <br /> <br />Penny, thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Christina<br />organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-14440231473574567532012-11-20T12:27:39.086-08:002012-11-20T12:27:39.086-08:00Absolutely stunning roses!

I only have one that I inherited from the previous owner of my bungalow, a red climber, very old with black-spot sadly but it does have a beautiful fragrance and on the south facing wall hundreds of blooms each year... 38 heads on one stem last year! As a fellow organic gardener I wonder if you have any ideas for the black-spot. I do try to collect as many leaves as possible.. tricky when I can't actually get to the floor though... sending smiles CassGreenorchidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17429772996167532604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-13079285274844349162012-11-19T14:16:34.990-08:002012-11-19T14:16:34.990-08:00What beautiful roses, Christina!

I bought a rose this year, Tower Bridge from Harkness. It is a gorgeous rose, with very good fragrance and flower form. Harkness describes it as "royal purple", but in my garden it is a hot pink :). <br /><br />I am glad you got to meet another garden blogger.

Sometimes the same rose goes by different names in different countries, sometimes a variety is introduced in America but not in Europe and the other way around and sometimes as you said they may not be suited for your climate. Good luck with your rose research!<br /><br />Dani, glad that you liked my post!<br /><br />FlowerLady, unfortunately not all of my roses are that healthy, the flowers just don't show any of the disease problems. 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh' is certainly one of my favorites as well.<br /><br />Kirk, I am glad that you like 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh' a lot, too. I think "baroque look" describes the feeling that this rose radiates very well. <br /><br />Celine, I will check out your blog when I have a moment of time. Good luck with your new roses, I am sure you will love the David Austins!<br /><br />Dorothy, I am always happy when people like my roses and my photos of them!<br /><br />Casa Mariposa, sorry to hear that your 'William Shakespeare 2000' didn't make it. I have a young rose of that variety, too, and it looks very promising. Maybe when you get a new William Shakespeare you want to get a 'Charles Rennie Mackintosh as well? It is truly a lovely rose. <br /><br />HolleyGarden, 'The Prince' is just a plain gorgeous rose. It has one of the darkest, purple blooms that I know and it smells heavenly. My rose is still relatively young, but it doesn't seem to want to get as big as some of the other David Austin Roses are. Just be aware that these beautiful dark blooms fry easily. I think this rose needs to be in afternoon shade to avoid that. <br /><br />Jeannine, the pleasure was on my side :-)! I would love to get together with you soon, again. Maybe then you can see my roses in person. <br /><br />Stiletto, these three roses make for a nice combo, don't they? After our three trips to England I always think about tea and cake when I see gardens and roses, too. I also would like a cuppa...<br /><br />Christina<br /><br /><br /><br />organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-34971297201677915392012-11-12T21:47:45.492-08:002012-11-12T21:47:45.492-08:00Your trio of 'Pretty Jessica', 'Charle...Your trio of 'Pretty Jessica', 'Charles Darwin', and 'The Prince' in the first image is delightful.
