Roses in Aberdeen

Well, also a few from our Cheshire and Fife gardens. Some of these Roses are included with a plant profile in my  plant encyclopedia

I started my blog back in 2006, these profiles were experimental, in fact, for over a year I entered the current date where the post title should be.

I posted every day for about a two year period. When it was brought to my attention how wrong I was approaching this I ended up deleting hundreds of these post and started over again in 2010 with an updated WordPress blog.

I kept some of these old posts in the archives as a reminder, some of the posts from 2010 actually were first published in 2006 and I will get around to updating those which require it at some time.

Kicking off with Buxom Beauty (above) in Aberdeen’s front garden. This is an HT Rose with massive blooms and a fruity fragrance. Nice enough Rose, tends to be top heavy as the flowers can have up to four dozen petals. 

This short climbing rose said to grow to around seven feet although it reached about nine feet in our Aberdeen garden.

The stems are almost thorn less and the small semi double flowers are a pale lilac pink with a gentle fragrance and repeat flowering.

This delightful Rose is one of Myra’s favourites and has found a place in our new Fife garden.

Climbing Rose Compassion

Described as one of the best modern climbers with HT blooms. Salmon pink flowers tinted pale orange, highly scented, repeat bloomer, whats not to like.

Grows to about 3mtrs/16ft

RHS Award of garden merit

Single flowers of Parkdirektor Riggers can make a welcome change from the more blousy blooms. Once again this one was growing well in Aberdeen,

Height 10/11ft, repeat flowering with no fragrance.
