I just love this time of the year where all around me when some varieties of our Crapes are blown-out with colour!!..I've been enjoying mine daily ..watching it fill up with blooms..I stood at the front door with the rains and saw the white petals flowing to the ground..looking like white snow as it hits the ground...
It's so hard to try and describe the colour of Climbing rosa "Felicia"..she's a soft delicate pinky-beigy colour..her fragrance is very unique..not bad for just being planted as a baby back in fall '2006
Another newbie in my gardens planted last Spring..promises to be a Jewel in my Garden with age!!..David Austin rosa "Sharifa Asma"..if you've seen pics of a mature one..the blooms are multi-petals..one day!!
Ahhh..so appropriately named "Heaven on Earth"
David Austin's "Sophy's Rose"
Teddy Roosevelt's favourite rose "Duchesse de Brabrant"
and planted right next to the Duchesse is her seedling "Madame Joseph Schwartz"
...My Clematis are starting up again...
Clematis "Purpea Plens Elegans" and "Comtesse de Bouchard" is planted with my climbing rosa "New Dawn"..they are wayyyyyy up in the top!!
I'm debating whether I should relocate Clematis "Rhapsody" now that my climbing roses have eaten up all the sun above him..he did finally pop out some blooms for me tho!Love the anthers on this one
Since I have three of these..one of my own choosing and 2 because of mislabeling..I always have blooms of "Ernest Markham"..some where in the gardens
and then there is "Claire"..yummy isn't she!
One of my favourite "thugs" in my garden from that infamous polish monk..."Polish Spirit"
Clematis "Mrs. Cholomondeley" is growing up one of the post on the Pergola..naughty girl..has gone over and mingled with Montana "Spooneri"
The crinums are sending up more and more stalks..gotta love "Bradley"
Clematis "Kermesina" giving me her first blooms of the season..really tough trying to photograph her as she is a nodder of sorts
Another Spider Daylily I got from the Co-op this year..."Winds of Love"..this one is HUGE
I took this shot so you can see just the way it "lays"...

Your gardens photos are so lovely. Thank you for sharing your photos. I love the fragrance of the David Austin roses. Have you been able to keep your roses healthy in all this rain? I've always thought that a rose/clematis combination is great.
Beautiful pics. Your plant combinations are lovely.
Gorgeous, Jeanne!!
Just so beautiful. Not only the color and form but their personalities too!
( what is your country of origin..."colour" gave you away1)
Jeanne, I used to have Felicia. She has spectacular fragrance, but I think black spot got mine. Not sure whether to try again or not. I have Ernest Markham planted on the trellis with Mdm. Alfred Derriere.

You've got some of my favorites, clematis and crepe myrtles. They're beautiful. I didn't know how jealous some gardeners are of our CM's.Thet do seem to thrive here . When I first started gardening I started with those and daylily's. Glad I did or I might have given up with more tempermental plants.
You've got the garden and the spelling covered. Brilliant!
Jeanne you pic show is just stunning...I have duchess de brabant too...is yours a big plant...mines about5'x5'.. love it and it always seems to have flowers..do you grow any other tea roses?I can't wait for the seasons to turn here...we are in winter ..so nothing much happening.keep posting your pics...they are all so nice ..
Wonderful Roses - we are working on a rose garden here, but mostly filled with cuttings rather then named. So we have the Waxahachie Graveyard number 3 rose and the like. I cannot wait for it to get looking like that in a few years!
