Rose Blooms and Fragrances

I haven't touched my camera in over a month, but I've taken regular pictures using my phone.
I know, not the same quality, but I thoought I'd better post some images of these September beauties.

Gentle Hermione in all her glory.
It's a rose I adore, despite its myrrh fragrance




Now, in another league as far as fragrance goes - Evelyn Rose.
A simply amazing perfume!

A very different type of perfume comes from The Pilgrim.
I can sense aniseed in there, but in a delightful way :)

Now, not only David Austin roses have great frangrance.
This German lady also has an amazing fragrance, alas is does not repeat so well for me and it suffers from summer sun burns.
Astrid Gräfin von Hardenberg
 
Let's get back to the David Austins with yet another AMAZING fragrance on an almost perfect (if it were not for the thorns) rose.
Lady of Megginch - it smells like old roses and raspberries!

  2. Your roses look beautiful Iona! Thank you for your advice on the Dahlia tubbers. I didn't realise you had to lift them after the first frost.

    Have a lovely evening!
