Fragrant cloud

Fragrant Cloud is a hybrid tea rose. I’ve only got one growing in my garden.

I think mine might be struggling. It’s never grown much, and reaches a maximum height of about two to two and a half feet each year. It does produce lovely full roses with tons of huge petals. However it only blooms two to three times per season for me and surprisingly I haven’t found the flowers to be all that fragrant.

I grow this rose beside Just Joey which out grows, out performs and out scents Fragrant Cloud by miles! Still I love this rose. It’s fighter. It keeps coming back each year.

Let’s hope it does this year now that I said that!

This weeks Theme is Antique

This rose goes perfectly with this weeks Photo Hunter theme doesn’t it? I mean it’s name is Antique’89 – what could be better?

This is a rose that I wrote about several times last year. It finally grew this past year. I think if I hadn’t battled it and shaped it as I described in a post called “War of the Roses” it would have been 20 feet tall and hanging over patio table making it extremely dangerous to sit at the table. This rose is a monster. It’s thorns are huge and catch on your clothes and skin so easily.

If this rose grows this year like it did last year I think I’m going to have to move it to it’s own area away from the seating area. It’s a wicked rose.

A Breath of Life

I’ve probably posted many pictures of this lovely rose before, but I can’t help it. It’s just such a beautiful rose.

I have this hybrid climbing tea rose planted at the end of our driveway. It’s right beside the small white picket fence and gate that leads into our backyard, and it rests on an arbour that is also in the entry way to the backyard. It’s perfect in this area.

I like the name of the rose too – Breath of Life. With it’s name and the fact that it’s at the entrance to my garden- my de-stressing place – it just seems perfect.

If you’ve recently asked to join the Green Thumb Sunday meme and I’ve sent you the blogroll code and instructions on how to put it on your site, but you find that you still aren’t on the list, please let me know.

Several people each week express and interest in joining our growing meme, but not everyone puts the blogroll on their site (a key factor to getting on the blogroll), or lets me know when they do have the blogroll on their site. Please leave a comment here if you have the blogroll on your site and I’ll make sure that you are listed on the blogroll ASAP.
