In the spring I shared with you
my newly purchases David Austin Roses....
(click photos to enlarge)
most of them have had a few good shows this summer,
but a few have struggled...
with our lack of sunshiny days,
we have been struggling with mildew...
and I as I learned in this shot
more aphids than I knew :-)
don't you love the things you find in your photos...
like the dusty mirror, or surprise spider web :-)
the lack of sun has also left a few guys feeling a bit,
lanky....
though none are lacking in jaw dropping beauty....
and I am sure, the sun will shine again...
tomorrow:-)
so I gathered up the lovelies,
and brought them in out of the gloom,
to shine....

He is a little tired of his "attention hogging" sisters,
and feels he deserves a little photo time too :-)

DA some of my fav flowers I use in many of my wedding bouquets look at my recent post you will see them!
I love the idea of putting each little gem in their own bottle or vase, it is very effective on your gorgeous coffee table. x
Love, love, love your roses!!! Nothing prettier than pink roses except maybe pink peonies. Just beautiful.

I love your display of roses.
And yes, I do discover unexpected things in my pictures too. Just two days ago I posted about nature and wildflowers and in one picture there were so many insects in a flower, just amazing, all crawling through it; I only discovered this when I looked at the picture on my computer back home. So weird to hear the same here from you :-)
Bye,

Hi Bella, your roses are looking beautiful in your photo's. xo Christie
What beautiful roses. I wonder if they would grow in Florida. They sure would be a welcome sight to my flowerbed. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Bella,
Your roses look beautiful! In my garden it's the same as in yours. Some did very well, while others simply didn't do much. I love the display of roses on your table.
Have a lovely evening!

I love this post and your roses. I am a rose lover, too. I'll be back I wan that recipe for those adorable heart cookies.
Each photo is perfect! The petals are so full and colorful...I'd love to have any one of them sitting on my table. happy gbbd!
I am a big fan of David Austin roses. I love yellow roses and 'Graham Thomas' is one of my favorites. I have to try some of those you mention.
Hi Bella:
So pretty in the wee bottles on the silver tray. I have a silver tray that I was debating on putting in my shop or not. I think I will keep it after seeing this gorgeous display!

Beautiful photos of the roses. My roses are just starting to sprout as we enter into Spring in Australia.
Very Lovely! Your roses are perfection!!!
Gorgeous roses, my goodness! Too lovely. Have a nice week. FABBY
Lovely! My David Austin roses never do very well. I have to admit, I am a lazy gardener and they must need some coddling. Your little peek at your home looks wonderful!!!!
I love love David Austin roses! Yours are stunning! Just stunning! Thank you for sharing!

My favorite rose hybridizer...Austins are all lovely. I also really like antique roses, particulary the old teas. these are lovely and such pretty pictures.
Such lovely roses. Simply beautiful!
Such sweet roses for us to enjoy. Your beautiful roses make me purr with pleasure.

Bella, dear, you have had unusually gloomy weather this year ... even for your part of the country. Don't judge the performance of your new roses by what they have done in their first year under these conditions.
Your other problems are simple to solve. Mildew (and blackspot) can be prevented by application of fungicide twice a month. Leave the aphids and other bugs alone. Here in my garden (of over 800 roses) I let the birds and the good bugs eat the bad bugs and things are pretty well balanced. I still have a few aphids and beetles and other baddies, but nothing that gets too out of hand. This makes for a healthier garden, and a whole lot less work for the gardener.
If you have rose questions, I'm here whenever you need me!

What a treat to find your blog this morning. I also have roses, and a new book about my life among the roses, but in my climate rose season is essentially over. I'd invite you to the Annual Rose Viewing in June if you were closer.
so pretty from garden to table~
The beauty of your blooms NEVER ceases to amaze me!!! AMAZING to say the least!!! Thanks for sharing!
XOXO's,

Today I brought inside a few roses too, but mine are not as pretty as yours. Cosmo is so sweet. I didn't notice him at first in that picture.
Hello Bella
The Austins may be sad in the garden but they're still very pretty and I can imagine the fragrance.
Cosmo is like most little boys wanting attention and you should be sharing him more often. :-)
