Garden Joys

 

Abraham Darby and New Dawn

 
 
 
Abraham Darby is pale pink when budding out and turns to a slightly peach color as it blooms.

The Gorgeous Eden Rose


I have been waiting nearly two years for this.  Only two blooms so far.  I hope I have more before the end of May.  By this time next year, I should have dozens.

Coming Soon . . . So Many Roses


In a week or so, this New Dawn Climbing rosebush is going to be absolutely smothered in blooms.


Blooms such as these luscious beauties.


In a few days my Queen of Sweden rosebush will have burst into bloom, as well.  Stay tuned for further developments.
