Sharing our bounty of heirloom roses .. AT MY ROSE GARDEN

Our focus AT MY ROSE GARDEN has been to design and plant a  country garden filled with heirloom roses that are grown sustainably.    Each year the garden grows as we add ever more heirloom treasures to our expanding garden beds.  And as we wait for the new garden beds to become established, there's a growing desire to do more ...

... like thinking about how to share the bounty from our heirloom rose garden with others who may not have the time or space to grow their own treasures. 

So .. little ideas of how to share our heirloom roses began to pop up.  These ideas are  a little fuzzy, not clearly defined,  just on the edges of thought.  

Thinking time is a good time to  walk around the garden and take stock of the roses, sniffing and inspecting each of the blooming Tea roses on the way. 

And one of the best Tea roses that bloom in winter is the glorious G. Nabonnand.  

Soft pink buds open into lovely silken vessels of fragrance.  A glorious sight in the garden!

Then there's the unusual Tea rose, Rosette de Lizzy.  She opens from a sweet pink-wrapped  bud to a  cream coloured bloom, blushing at her own loveliness. 

Oh, and there's the divine Isabella Sprunt, iced lemon sport of the elegant apricot Tea rose, Safrano.  Exquisite and as floriferous as her parent - always covered in buds and blooms!

But nothing can compare to the extraordinary Mrs B R Cant, who blooms constantly throughout the year with offerings of late Victorian splendour!  

And her blooms are so numerous that a carpet of confetti forms constantly at her feet!

After a refreshing walk around the garden visiting all the heirloom Tea roses, that vague idea of sharing the garden's bounty begins to crystalise!  

And so for a limited season, vintage  heirloom posies in their own mason-style jars are ready for pick-up at our farm-gate!  

Now it's easy to order and pick up a gorgeous vintage, heirloom posy once a fortnight over an eight week season.  A perfect gift for someone special, or just to treat yourself!

So pleased to be able to share our bounty of  heirloom roses!
