Texas Roses

I've always loved roses, ever since I received my first rose bush as a child. I've grown roses in upstate NY, and now in Texas. Believe me, it's easier in Texas. Here are a few of my roses. Hope you enjoy them!

What a beautiful collection!

They are gorgeous and you have a great selection of colors!

 

[Trellum]

They are so pretty! All of them! But my favorite ones were the pink and the yellow ones, the yellow one is specially gorgeous

 

[marlingardener]

Thank you, Trellum. The yellow one is "Nagodoches" and blooms prolifically. As a matter of fact, it's blooming now, and I have a bouquet in the living room. I think it's my favorite also. The funny thing is that my husband picked it out at Chamblee's Roses, and it wasn't even in bud. The tag just gave its name and approximate size (boy, were they wrong!) and when we went to pay for it, the clerk said we'd love this yellow rose. She was right!

marlingardener updated Texas Roses

Old Blush is an antique rose that just blooms and blooms.
April Moon is a new rose, purchased this spring. She is trying to keep up with her big sisters!
Clytemnestra is climbing an old ashe juniper tree. She doesn't mind being shaded a bit.
This spring the roses are doing particularly well!
