I ordered some roses from Palatine Roses in the Niagara region, Ontario in
the winter of 2009. I had always been a little hesitant to try
growing roses. I thought they were too fussy to grow. Love and
Peace is my first Hybrid Tea purchase. It is a beautiful rose
with large glossy green leaves.
I especially enjoy the Hybrid Tea roses, as they have such beautiful
blooms! I have found that as long as I provide winter protection,
they survive our zone 5 winters just fine. Stephen's Big Purple
hybrid tea rose has a wonderful fragrance.
Just Joey is a lovely apricot Hybrid Tea rose and very fragrant. It
is one of my favorite roses.
Peace is a Hybrid Tea Rose with petals of yellow with soft pink
shading. The leaves are a glossy rich green.
Paradise is a mauve and mauve blend Hybrid Tea rose which is very
fragrant.
The Rose on the left is a Grandiflora
rose called Love with Scarlet and White petals. The rose on the right is a
Floribunda named Sexy Rexy.
Blue Moon is a Hybrid Tea with a lovely mauve color
Europeana is a Floribunda rose with the most striking dark red petals.
The petals look like velvet to me. When it flowers it is
covered with sprays of mid-size blooms which last about two weeks or so.
A deep yellow Hybrid Tea which is known by the name of Lions
International and also Frycharm. It blooms throughout the summer.
Easy Going - Floribunda - this is a picture of it during its second
year in my garden
Tatton is a very fragrant Orange Floribunda.
Fragrant Cloud has a very delightful fragrance.
It is a orange red Hybrid Tea rose..
Lavande Parfume is a lovely Floribunda which I found
at my local Garden Centre. It has a delightful scent.
Floribunda roses are generally more vigorous than Hybrid Tea
roses. They produce more blooms and continue to produce them over a long
period.
This is a favorite Floribunda rose known as Iceberg.
It seems to bloom constantly throughout the summer.
If you are interested in trying Roses on a smaller scale, your might
want to consider Miniature Roses. One economical way I have found
is to buy a potted miniature rose from your local shop. In most of
these small containers, there are three or four individual plants.
You can divide the plants and nurture them inside the house under
lights. When spring arrives, you can transplant them outdoors into
your garden. There is a posting in the Miniature Rose forum
on GardenWeb. The posting is titled How to save a potted gift
rose. They have detailed all the instructions you should need to
be successful.
Intrigue is a Floribunda rose. The color is a beautiful purple.
It is quite stunning in full bloom.
This is a lovely , short climber rose
in my zone 5 garden. The name is Golden Showers - a
David Austin Rose.
