It is always a pleasure to see roses after a long winter's absence, even if only briefly with two hungry kids tugging at my sleeve. I hope you will see some old friends among these too and enjoy this short tour of the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. There, the spring flush has started already, and at my garden it is mere days away.

Oh, yes, I very much enjoyed your Rose show, Masha! I was so happy to see many Roses down in Florida, too, when I was there recently. We won't have Roses blooming in Wisconsin until June. Thanks for taking us along to the San Jose Rose Garden.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy,lovely pictures and funny "Grandmother's Hat :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this loveley 'spring tour"
ReplyDeletehere in Holland ...... the spring is gonna come :)4 weeks later than normal...pppffff
A lovely parade ! Thank you, Masha !
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tour in San Jose Rose Garden. Some of the roses I know but many of them were new to me. I enjoyed them. In The Netherlands we have to wait till June for our roses start to flower, a long wait.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh! I loved seeing these beautiful photos! I didn't realize the roses were already blooming there. Makes me hope my roses open soon. Unfortunately, we got a late freeze, and there was some damage. :( I know you're anxious to see your roses blooming, too. They are all so pretty - but I do especially love the color of Souvenir de Gilbert Nabonnand.
ReplyDeleteYou guys down south are lucky :-) my roses are just leafing out. All of those roses are stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with, and now searching for, Lady Penzance. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMasha, interesting tour to San Jose Rose gardens, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe rose Empereur du Maroc is awesome, wonderful color and shape.
I can't wait when my rose appear from the snow.
Have a nice week!
Fantastic lighting in your photos. All the roses are so lovely... I can't pick a favorite. I love all the old doubles, plus the simplicity of 'Anemone'. I can almost smell them! thanks
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for shortening the time with waiting for my own roses! Still another 2 - 3 month till the first flower will appear, I guess.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of stunning roses you showed here. I could give them all a home, if only my garden were big enough :o).
Have a lovely week... and I hope the kids finally got something to eat *LoL*

Que linda seleção de rosas! Amei demais! Elas parecem sorrirem praa mim!!!
ReplyDeleteWszystkie róże są piękne i mają cudowne kolory . Zazdroszczę, że juz je wąchasz :). U nas jeszcze długo nie będą kwitły, bo jeszcze trochę śniegu jest w ogrodzie. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteAll roses are beautiful and have wonderful colors. I envy that you smell it already :). You will not have long thrived, because a little snow in the garden. Yours.
What glorious roses! That must be a truly beautiful garden to visit.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your lovely Pictures. Souvenir de Gilbert Nabonnand is lovely as I'm looking for a rose that color for my garden. No luck yet but it will go on my wish list!
