Beautiful William Baffin blooms.


I can’t wait until Summer comes again so that I can see my very tall rose bush, it must be 10 feet tall and 5 feet wide, full of blooms. It’s first flush of blooms each year in late spring or early summer is just stunning! It’s quite a sight to see.

Does any one else grow William Baffin or one of the other Explorer roses?

BTW sorry that my post is a little late today. My puppy has been very sick in the last few days and it’s been quite a handful caring for her.

Tidying up the garden on a nice fall day

by Tricia

Do you ever just go in your garden and start chopping away at the plants?

Of course you do, most of you are gardeners. Naturally by chopping away I simply mean you see a dead branch on a rose bush or shrub, some dead leaves here and there on other plants, flowers that need to be dead headed and so on.

Sunday was on of those days for me.

I went into the garden in the early evening and it was 10 pm by the time I came back inside! It’s a good thing we have one of those big security lights at the back of the house to light up the yard!

Several of our roses were overgrown and needed pruning. That’s what got me started. As I made my way through the garden beds I found many flowers that had started to go to seed so I got some of the small jewelry bags that I keep on hand and collected the seeds.

I’m keep the little bags of seeds that I collected open slightly so all of the moisture can leave the bag. I’ve also got to remember to put a few grains of rice in the bag to absorb moisture as well. There’s nothing worse than collecting seeds, sealing them up and then having them go moldy because you didn’t store them properly or because they weren’t fully dry when stored.

When the seed baggies are totally dry I’ll take them and store them in a nice cool place. Usually that ends up being the coolest corner of my basement.

Have you been pruning any of your plants? Collecting seeds for next year?

Oh … I overworked myself. I’ve got an aching back. One of the woes of gardening!

I’m sure that anyone that’s been to this site before knows that as far as my garden goes seeing my plants doing well and blooming makes me happy.

Just look at the lovely rose photo I’ve included in this post.

I took that photo last year and I can’t remember just which rose bush those flowers were blooming on. My guess is that it’s either Compte de chambord or Baronne Prevost. Either way, the roses are lovely and highly scented.

Imagine walking into a garden filled with lush blooms like those above, surrounded my their beautiful scent. How could you not be happy.
