There is a botanical garden in Wellington, New Zealand that I got to visit late one evening as the sun set, each rose in it's own special plot, named, and pruned, blooming like anything.<br /><br />What fun it would be to go back and see them again.<br /><br />Jen @ Muddy Boot DreamsRURAL https://www.blogger.com/profile/11871803235521431504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-19577606137290185862012-05-19T08:54:23.545-06:002012-05-19T08:54:23.545-06:00Ann, your rose collection looks beautiful.

I love how you have selected them from your England trip. <br /><br />Your Iris look lovely, too. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by my blog!

I live only 12 miles from David Austin Roses Shropshire and visit a few times a year, I have two in the garden now 'Cadfael' and 'Wisley', but I must say that I was disappointed with Wisley as no-one could detect the smell! (But it is rather beautiful). I just love irises too, yours are beautiful.<br />Thank you for your support over the badgers as you can imagine a very controversial subject in the UK.<br />Best wishes<br />Rose HRose H (UK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03502158211136467582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-26682171049890914382012-05-19T02:31:52.863-06:002012-05-19T02:31:52.863-06:00I love how you chose your roses by name significan...I love how you chose your roses by name significance.

We do have roses and a friend here is getting great results with Bayers systemic rose food, too, so I am going to try it. Are there fires near you?

Over here we've got a product called 'Start' and another called 'Root Grow' which have special fungi that attached themselves to the roots of the roses and help them thrive when newly planted. I've always put a few spoonfuls around the roots and then fed the roses with rose food twice in the growing season. <br /><br />Roses in my opinion are really worth the effort.Rosie Nixon Fluertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851979959739600135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-28796448805601527142012-05-16T02:29:20.861-06:002012-05-16T02:29:20.861-06:00Roses are so pretty!

Your selection looks really pretty. My irises haven't bloomed yet, not sure what is happening with them.

So we went to our fence row in full sun. Planted 10 of them and only 6 have survived. JP went put of business? Omg!<br />Thanks for all the tips. Now I need iris tips, doing well but need to be thinned.Ann@A Sentimental Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521312649204476924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-39772331478531924942012-05-13T21:25:25.154-06:002012-05-13T21:25:25.154-06:00Ann, your roses and iris are magnificent!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and after reading your post today it dawned on me...you must, YOU MUST visit a blog I administer for a local non-profit garden!! Please, visit http://shakespearegarden.blogspot.com/p/history.html The gardens were started by an English teacher. It was her dream to go to England and visit the gardens of famous English writers. She did just that, and came back to share it all with her students to inspire them. Her husband built her a cottage and it is a replica of Anne Hathaway's home in Stratford-on-Avon England. This cottage is now a tourist sight in my home town and we know it as Anne Hathaway Cottage. I know you will appreciate this English teacher's story! You have too much in common not to! Oh, you and Mrs. Shay would have quite a visit!Lisa Sall - Sall's Country Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729015228245019482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-5566097577223418762012-05-12T16:48:12.154-06:002012-05-12T16:48:12.154-06:00Pretty!

I love irises and have often thought of having an iris walk.

Although I have only a few buds on the roses so far, need some sun and I am pleased to say we have some today!!Your roses and Iris's are a delight. You cannot go wrong with David Austin Roses and I love all the names. One of the best selection I have seen of David Austin roses locally was in the nursery at Syon House/Park.<br />http://www.thegardencentregroup.co.uk/garden-centres/Syon-Park-Garden-Centre/1Z<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of the weekend, Jackie in Surrey, UKhttp://jackieinsurrey.blogspot.co.uk/https://www.blogger.com/profile/08337359415034741431noreply@blogger.com
