Amazing second photo Fermi - almost surreal...

Here's the Rosa multiflora against a nice blue sky 
It has grown up into the neighbouring Silver Pear

The last few ultra hot days have burnt the roses.  Our Le pas du paradis which was full of rose buds one morning by the next afternoon they petals became like paper.  The Pierre de Ronsard which took its time to grow and produce flowers,  this year was not allowed to show its beauty. The petals tried to open but they went the same way as the other roses.  Even the Rosa damascena did not fair any better. Luckily the old fashioned Rosa moschata is impervious to the heat and has started to flower and keeps me happy.

Mine were ruined by some much needed rain just as they were in full flower. One reason why Roses are not amongst my favourite flowers.

Rosa 'Sparrieshoop' is still putting out a few flowers but these pics were from last month.
I thought this was an "old" rose but see it was raised in the last half of the twentieth century (Kordes 1953) cheers

Rosa 'Lorraine Lee' is a well known Australian rose bred by Alister Clark using Rosa gigantea, I think. In Melbourne it flowers through the winter but up here it waits till the frosts are over. It has a sweet scent typical of tea-scented roses.
This is a climbing version that we have trained up a wrought iron support

Fermi, they are such a beautiful sight. We never had roses like this.  You are a great gardener.

Hi Charithea,
this rose was bred for our conditions - I just provide a support for it to grow on and water during the summer - it does everything by itself!

Rosa multiflora - this started off as the understock from a rose that died. It now fills the garden bed and really needs a good cut back - after it finishes flowering! The scent as you approach it is remarkable

Rosa 'Sparrieshoop' and the red scentless 'Dr Huey' which is the understock used a lot these days!
cheers

As Elvis Costello sang "it's been a good year for the roses"!
We have quite a few planted on the fence-line and this is a jungle of 'Albertine' , a single pink and 'Dr Huey'
cheers

Further along the fence we moved a few roses from another area and I think this is Rosa ‘Nozomi’ which is also a single pink but looks a bit different to the one in the previous post,

A rose seedling came up and grew up into a hawthorn. It appears to be a pink form of Rosa multiflora but maybe it has crossed with the "dog rose" Rosa canina which is wide-spread in the area

Very naturally pretty though Fermi - finding a place to break through and flower.

Here is another Rosa multiflora growing up through a silver pear,

Fermi your roses are so beautiful and desirable. Shame you are so far away for a quick visit.
