The first roses to bloom in Spring AT MY ROSE GARDEN
...
Gruss An Aachen, an early Floribunda from 1909 with clusters
of full, cream roses tinged with a soft apricot and pink. She also has a lovely perfume and is rarely without
blooms from Spring to Autumn. Delicious.
Paper Gontier, a Tea rose
from 1883, bred in France by Nabonnand.
He has beautiful pointed deep pink buds that open into charmingly untidy
blooms of a softer pink, sometimes streaked white. A light, dry fragrance typical of Tea roses.
Svnr de St Anne’s, the beautiful 1950 sport of the well
known Bourbon rose, Svnr de la Malmaison.
A favourite as her pale pink, semi-double blooms never spoil in heavy
rain, unlike her parent. She has a
lovely rose fragrance, sometimes with the faintest hint of cinnamon. A treasure in our garden and never
disappoints.
Crepuscule, a Noisette bred by Dubreuil of France in
1904. The warm apricot glow of this
climber’s semi double blossoms are delightful.
She has a soft fragrance and covers herself in cheerful buds throughout
the warm weather.
G. Nabbonand, a Tea rose from 1888, also known as Jean
Ducher in Australia. Her soft apricot,
pink blooms appear as delicate and lovely as silk with a soft, dry
fragrance. Absolutely delicious and
constantly in bloom with a short respite over winter.
Gloire de Dijon, a climbing Tea rose bred by Jacotot, France
in 1853. Said to be hardier for cold
climates than most Teas, she is well named with her glorious blossom. With a soft, buff cream, she displays an exquisite
button eye centred amid multiple quills.
Her delicious perfume is delightfully complex. Another treasure in the garden.
Each of these early rose blooms herald in the delights to come ...
