Flowers everywhere!
I can’t believe my garden!
The roses have begun to bloom this week.
The winner of the first to bloom contest is my William Baffin Explorer rose as it was a close first to bloom, quickly followed by about five other roses on the same day including Morden Sunset, Bonica, Stanwell perpetual, the fairly and I believe Iceberg.
Three or four of my clematis are blooming, as is my Dropmore honeysuckle, the Siberian iris’, Princess Victoria Louise Oriental Poppy, and one of my peonies – peony Pecher.
Many of the other roses and perennial plants will soon follow as they are covered in buds!
The first rose to bloom, and many of the first roses to bloom are extremely hardy roses.
I’d actually have to say that William Baffin is no longer a rose bush or shrub but rather a rose tree. It’s at least 8 feet tall! So heavy with roses that it’s new branches are leaning out from the garden bed weighed down with buds and flowers. It’s a beautiful sight to see.
Yes, I will take photos shortly. I love being able to document how the garden is maturing with my camera.
