Roses on April 1st

You may wonder how roses flower on 1st April when your favourite flower is just at its summer best
This is not a joke or April fools day prank but the pictures of all these roses were taken in Madieria on that date.
In sheltered spots old fashioned roses will bloom earlier than HT or Floribunda roses. I am told that by the end of April the Cornish gardens will have roses in bloom.
Meanwhile we will have to be content with these photographs, our memories and the work still to be done on roses in our gardens.
I was impressed by the volume of rose buds on this rose. It had a slightly rambling appearance and I regret it was not labeled.
Training climbing roses can produce some great shapes and flowers. The balustrade for these steps will be strewn with blossom in a month or so’s time.

What is a Patio Rose if it isn’t a rose grown on a patio? Patio roses grow bigger and bushier than miniatures and are about 14 -24 inch high, yet they are perfectly formed. H.T. Bush and Floribunda roses grow bigger but Patio roses are easy and decorative.

The Perfect Rose
When Roses are in full bloom I can’t resist taking photos of them. With this rose I tried putting white paper behind the rose to highlight its colour. The rose below is taken with a dark background but is still satisfactory.
