Well, not all of my roses have good foliage right now, but despite that most of them still bloom beautifully. I agree, fall blooms can be very good and I am looking forward to more flowers. <br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-20932061452163616552011-09-11T12:31:28.735-07:002011-09-11T12:31:28.735-07:00Wow!

Would have never occurred to me, but it describes the color very well. <br /><br />Masha, so glad to see you commenting again! Yes, this August has been nice in my garden. 'The Prince' is one of my favorite roses, too. The color is just sooo... special and my photo does not do its beauty justice. My 'Mme. Ernst Calvat' rose got more and more cane die-back even after it was re-potted back into a container. At a certain point I couldn't take it anymore and throw it away. But I have another one waiting in the pot ghetto :-)!<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-57435225664996995842011-09-04T14:14:03.288-07:002011-09-04T14:14:03.288-07:00August looks wonderful in your garden.

Actually I started also with Iceberg roses many years ago (and I am still growing seven of them) and then the "rose-thingy" was getting a little bit out of hand... Be careful that can also happen to you :-)!<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-26459998178828924622011-09-02T11:31:57.131-07:002011-09-02T11:31:57.131-07:00Hi Christina - Your roses are simply beautiful!

Actually you are right, I just realized that I am happy with my roses this August. I am very curious to see how 'Georgetown Tea' develops itself now that it is in the ground. I got my rose from Vintage Gardens and have read that they sell a clone that is definitively different from others on the (rose-)market, which are most likely 'Mme. Lombard'. For me so far the color of GT has always been a clear almost cool pink, which I love. No apricot or copper under tones.<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-28343959616068020572011-09-01T19:24:50.651-07:002011-09-01T19:24:50.651-07:00So beautiful, Christina, and so many.

I just wish she could stop to mildew!<br /><br />FlowerLady, thanks for your nice comment! Looks like we are sharing a weakness for dark blue-ish red roses with many petals. I grow 'The Prince' and 'William Shakespeare 2000' own root and they do well. I know that you have problems with nematodes in Florida, but own root roses should work for you, so you could grow them, too. That might help with the rose envy :-)! <br /><br />Connie, thanks! It is really great that you got regular rain this summer. I am sure your roses appreciate this. I hear this over and over again that Tea Roses are the best in hot summer, but so far this is not really evident in terms of the few that I grow in comparison to the roses belonging to other classes. But I only recently planted one Tea Rose in the ground ('Georgetown Tea') and the rest is waiting for that in pots. I am curious to see if there is a difference in floriferousness when they are planted into the ground and can stretch their legs! Only time will tell...<br /><br />Jennifer, thanks for visiting my blog! I am glad that you like my roses. You are the second commenter especially fond of 'The Prince' and 'William Shakespeare 2000' already. I can only agree these two roses are very lovely. <br /><br />Holley, Climbing Devoniensis has absolutely lovely bloom. The delicacy is hard to describe this rose always catches my heart when it flowers. I am glad that you put it on your 'must have' rose list.<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-26395372357013496392011-09-01T07:23:19.130-07:002011-09-01T07:23:19.130-07:00These are gorgeous!
