I am trying to garden roses and I when we moved into our house 7 years ago there was a wild rose bush climbing like crazy on the backyard fence. We pruned it and fertilized it and cared for it until it came back over and over again. Such a delight. I swear some chubby gnomes are helping my roses grow. In Colorado it is difficult to pinpoint the end of the frost. Twice in a row we had snow on Mother's Day! Weird weather patterns. I enjoyed stopping by to say hello and wish you a beautiful Easter SONday and a HPS too!

I hope that 'Marie Pavie' and 'Grandmother's Hat' will do well for you in Portland. Here they are really stellar roses and especially 'Grandmother's Hat' is very healthy. Both have a strong fragrance but I find 'Grandmother's Hat's perfume exceptionally pleasing. I have a feeling you will enjoy her very much!<br />I am still not further with the fertilizing of the roses, but they bloom despite of this, just not as prolific.organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-28184295389428796602017-04-13T03:41:36.631-07:002017-04-13T03:41:36.631-07:00Hi Christina,

I enjoy learning about roses, which I am becoming more and more interested in, despite the fact that were never one of my favourites, perhaps because they seemed to be everyone else's!;)<br /><br />I love your photo of the dewy and dainty and delightful 'Souvenir de la Malmaison'! Your post today has inspired me to try my hand at growing some of these dramatic beauties. Thanks so much for sharing what you've learned.<br /><br />Wishing you a peaceful and blessed Easter,<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-22673662020369203252017-04-12T20:47:44.950-07:002017-04-12T20:47:44.950-07:00Lovely!

I especially like your " Rosa Rhodologue Jules Graveraux", "Rosa Souvenir de la Malmaison"and " Rosa Grandmother's Hat". Reagarding red roses, I really see your point there. I have the same problem. I think there are many beautiful dark red or crimson David Austin roses, such as "The dark lady", but I don´t like them in combination with pastel-coloured roses and since I love pastel coloured roses, I don´t plant red roses anymore.<br />Enjoy your beautiful rose spring flush!<br />Best wishes,<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109267388874121002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-14634819979337561922017-04-11T11:16:53.415-07:002017-04-11T11:16:53.415-07:00You have a wonderful selection of roses Christina ...You have a wonderful selection of roses Christina and Souvenir de la Malmaison covered in water droplets looks like a tutu fit for a fairy princess to wear.

I have never related the size of a garden to which colors do or don't work, but it makes perfect sense that a strong dominant color like red can be "too much in your face" in a small garden. And, of course, I have a small garden! Maybe that is why I don't like strong clear reds so much in my own garden, but for example truly enjoyed them in Hidecote Gardens (see my post about the Red Border there here: http://www.organicgardendreams.com/2016/09/hidcote-manor-garden-i.html)<br />It makes me happy that it tickles your to get a red rose :-). Maybe you want to try 'Mister Lincoln'. He has a good reputation as a vigorous healthy Hybrid Tea rose in our area. Another good one should be 'Firefighter', which is a classic true red Hybrid Tea rose, which I have seen in other gardens here in San Diego and it also seems to be an excellent Hybrid Tea rose. <br /> organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-51214480550010603842017-04-11T07:55:21.695-07:002017-04-11T07:55:21.695-07:00What do you usually fertilize your roses with?What do you usually fertilize your roses with?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-25266351303997055322017-04-10T08:10:18.696-07:002017-04-10T08:10:18.696-07:00Hoover Boo, thanks for your kind words about my ph...Hoover Boo, thanks for your kind words about my photos and accompanying text! That made my day! <br />Very encouraging to read that 'Snowbird' is doing so well for you! Gives me hopes that mine will "get there", too :-). Lately it is a little hard for me to be patient with my roses, but I know they need time to mature. Only then you can truly judge about them.<br />I hear you about 'Souvenir de la Malmaison'. I will try to give her diluted fish fertilizer on a regular base and see if she improves or more accurately said if I can even get her to survive. organicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-66833877030863715132017-04-10T04:58:22.268-07:002017-04-10T04:58:22.268-07:00Chère Christina, chaque fois que j'ai entendu ...Chère Christina, chaque fois que j'ai entendu que la pluie s'invitait dans ta Californie, j'ai beaucoup pensé à toi.

The first two years after planting she did not do a thing. But then she showed up her power. I love to see this rose flowers. She does not like rain at all and most of the time the flowers are half brown. You have a wonderful collection of roses. And yes, to keep a rose healthy it's very important to feed them. And also the weather makes a big difference in what the roses are doing. Your post was a feast to my eyes. Have a wonderful week ahead.<br />Warm wishes and rosehugs<br />Marijke<br />Marijkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848940570958437408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-7782309887132149292017-04-09T21:17:09.697-07:002017-04-09T21:17:09.697-07:00Dear Christina, what lovely roses!

When we were children we were taking out by my parents to buy a rose each. My grandmother grew the rose Mr. Lincoln. Can you get the French rose 'Papa Meilland' over there? It is such a beautiful variety. I have it growing in our garden here in Melbourne. Bye for now and it's good to be back.
