As you can see June is a rose month. My whole garden is smelling of roses now !
Have a great week all ! And thanks for your visit !
A PEEK IN MY GARDEN IN JUNE
STILL FLOWERING TODAY
It is November and there are still flowers in the garden, even after a few night frosts. But most of the garden looks tatty. It is Autumn ofcourse !
At the moment we have beautiful sunny soft days and frosty nights. As soon as the sun goes down it is cold. We are in a second full lockdown at the moment.
I hope you are all well and happy. Keep safe.
SILENT SUNDAY
WHAT IS STILL BLOOMING IN MY GARDEN TODAY
It definitely is Autumn now, cos of the drought it is early this year. But there still is a lot in bloom right now although you can see the flowers are a bit tired and the leafs are getting brown and yellow here and there. On top of it they had to go without my tlc while I was on holiday in France.
On the other hand some plants look tatty, like the ferns, the Amelanchier tree(shadbush or june berry), the lavenders…. But hey, I am not complaining !
I hope you are all well and happy, wherever you are.
LOVE IS IN THE AIR
My Guirlande D’amour rose is in bloom and my whole garden smells of roses at the moment. Guirlande D’amour is a rambler rose, half double, snow white and has a lovely delicate smell. I have this rose in my garden for about 20 years now and she is beautifull when in bloom. I give it a cut in Autumn, just the longest branches and then in Spring it gets a good cut and a bit of dried cow manure, thats it. It keeps blooming till the frosts come, not as much as it blooms in June though.
You can’t see anything of the wooden bow as it is completely covered by the rose. This rose is also the favorite place for birds to make their nest in and for the bees of course, they just love it. And so do I.
Have a great day and thanks for your visit.
IT LOOKS PROMISING
The roses in my garden have hundreds of buds that will soon open up and change my garden in a lovely smelling place. I can hardly wait !!
Have a great weekend !!
LADY IN WHITE
At the moment my climbing rose GUIRLANDE D’AMOUR looks like a lady in a weddingdress who wears a lovely perfume. My whole garden smells of her !
THIS IS HOW SHE LOOKED LIKE ABOUT LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AGO
SHE STARTED SLOW, ONLY A FLOWER HERE AND THERE
A FEW DAYS LATER SHE LOOKED LIKE THIS
AND HERE SHE IS IN FULL BLOOM LOOKING LIKE A REAL BRIDE
HERE YOU GET A CLOSER LOOK AT HER BLOOMS
Have a great weekend all and enjoy your garden if you can, it will make you completely zen. Thanks for visiting !

THE SMELL OF ROSES
I haven’t been blogging for a while but I just needed a break. There is so much to do at the moment that I just don’t know what to do first. I think you all know what I mean.
But the roses are starting to bloom so I had to take some pictures for you to see, pitty you can’t smell them !!
ROSA CONSTANCE SPRY ( soft pink climbing rose with horrible thorns !!)
ROSA THE PILGRIM (low yellow climbing rose)
AND LOOK AT ALL THESE BUDS !!!!(climbing rose GUIRLANDE D’AMOUR, half dubble white)
I have more roses in bud so by next week I’m sure they’ll be open, we are having hot and very dry weather, last night we had a thunderstorm with a bit of very welcome rain.
Have a great week and thanks for visiting !
