Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayBeautiful, I see the flower arranging classes are going well, and I can smell them from here
Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayMmmmmm......lovely.
Every morning when I go to work, I begin in the rose area. You should see and smell it. Mmmmmmmm. Fabulous. I may take my new camera down there this week. Helen xx

Re: Picked These From the Garden Todaythey are beautiful, this morning i looked out the kitchen window to see my rose bush full of huge red roses, tonight before locking girlies up I looked over and they have all disappeared with the wind

Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayThey are gorgeous blooms , the old fashioned ones dont always last so long but are a sight for sore eyes. We have a few roses from D. Aus-tin roses and they mimic the old type rose and most are very fragrant , they have a lovely catalogue to browse through - could end up spending a fortune
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .

Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayThey are gorgeous, lucky you. You should have wrapped them in cello wrap and tissue first then handed them to Mrs Scrambled and you would have gained umpteen brownie points for buying her flowers
I really must buy some roses, struggling to find a blue one though. Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayThe nearest you will get is Blue Moon or Blue Waltz
Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayThanks Maggie, sorry didn't see your reply earlier
I do love blue flowers but since the blue roses are pale I think I will get a deep red one instead Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayIf you like blue flowers (P)Agapanthus, (P)Campanula, (P)Canterbury Bells, Forget me not, love in the mist, (P)Icelandic poppy, lupin. The ones I've marked with P come up every year the others reseed themselves. If I think of anymore I'll write some more.
Re: Picked These From the Garden TodayBlue flowers - Hydrangea (depending on soil), several clematis, geranium (perennial) but I cant think of the name of the common variety that grows in the wild too ,ceanothus
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .

Thank you for the suggestions everyone, I have quite a lot of those flowers. It is just that I really want what I can't have which is a blue rose. As I said I think I will settle for a deep dark red climber instead. It is to grow up a high wall with maybe a virginia creeper and a passion flower (large wall so plenty of room) |
