IMAGES OF Members Roses 2025

Some pics from my garden in the last couple of weeks.

Irene Watts doing so much better this year than last.



Gertrude also looking better than last year.


Lady Emma Hamilton slowly revealing her colours.


Unknown and unwieldy red climber. I am going to remove the ivy and holly tree that’s growing on the wall behind this lovely rose and fix it properly to the wall in the autumn.


A new rose for me this year -Psychedelic.

Desdemona


Unknown pink in my Mum’s garden.

 

@wiseowl, Whisky Mac brings back memories from the early 80s when we lived in Kent before moving to France. I had a bed full and I won a prize at the village flower for a Whisky Mac.

Alfred Colomb is the red one at the bottom, not the orange one which is Super Trouper. Another edit - Name is now not with the orange one!

Stunning

 

This is the first rose to flower. It came out on 12th May followed within a few days by the whole bush bursting into flower with nearly 20 amazing blooms. Then came the wind and torrrential rain and no flowers were left. I unfortunately didn't photograph the bush - waiting for the sun to shine on it . There are now a few buds appearing (unlike the sun!) None of my other five roses are yet in bud so I am very much enjoying this thread.

 

Gorgeous roses, beautifully photographed @Busy-Lizzie

 

Thank you @OwdPotter.

 

This is a cluster off The Bees Knees, which I removed a few days ago as the young stem was about to hit the ground. The young flowers are a primrose yellow with an orange centre, maturing to jasmine white with a magenta centre. A good one if you like colour changes and bees!

If anyone wants to know about 'The King's Rose', and maybe considering ordering for this autumn bare root, I can confirm a few things about it.. it has a delicious scent on warm days... each bloom lasts around 3 days, and is rain resistant. It's also butterfly / pollinator friendly..
I am enjoying this rose immensely, so far..
