The unknown variety is blooming again. Someday I'll try to figure out what it is--besides pretty. :)
With rain expected all week, I knew I'd better get the last roses pruned. So I cut off the flowers and brought them inside. *sigh* Not that I had enough vases for them. I just have two small bud vases, so a cup was also pulled.
Carol Burnett is in the green cup, currently apricot-colored. Some of these flowers opened up yellow.
In the blue vase is the unknown salmon rose.
And the pope is down below. The blooms are so big I couldn't fit another vase in there.
It's nice to finally know the name of this rose: Cherish. (Or at least I'm about 95% sure I have it right.)
My side fence and the orange tree above. I planted Heaven on Earth and Gina Lollabrigida here. Also redid the rock border so it actually looks like a border. Cherish and the unknown pink/red rose are in the background. That unknown one will be shovel-pruned once it finishes the bloom it's about to start, and then Papa Meilland (deep red) will take its place.
I've always loved how this rose opens up with its soft pink. I'm happy I finally know what it is!
Three of the four roses in this section.
Cherish and Heaven on Earth are just starting to go nuts, while Gina has already gone bonkers. :>
I'm so glad I decided to get Gina. It may not have that strong a smell, but it makes up for it with quantity and quality.
A cluster of Cherish.
