Autumn Garden Pictures and More
Here are some more pictures of my garden at the moment, which I promised in the last post.
Just after I'd said how fantastic the weather was the other day, it started to rain a little the next day; however, it was very much welcome, we needed some rain anyway. It also made the garden look much calmer, I love sitting inside looking out at the garden through the windows of our living room on rainy days.I read that "Yellow acts as commas in a garden", yeah, I agree. Now, if I could only remember where I read it so I could give the author credit. Does anybody know?
These St.Cecilia blooms were like "perfume bombs", it was really good to have them inside the house and every time I walked by them, I smiled and inhaled as much as I could. Ahhh! Perfect scent!
A big thank you to all of you lovely ladies who love roses as much as I do, your comments have been so heart-warming and I'm always amazed you haven't got sick of looking at my garden yet. Roses truly are the Queen of all Flowers, their beauty is simply breathtaking, undoubtedly.
Have yourselves a wonderful week, won't you? Don't get stressed out.

Hello
How very wonderful; what a precious gift you have to raise roses in your garden like these. I truly "envy"you but more so I wish I could visit and smell them too. Tell me: where did you learn to grow roses like this ? Or is it in the genes ? Or is it in a book ?
Anyway: your blog is so beautiful and I always feel like you giving me these very treasures.
Today is my son's 21the birthday: I think I will buy myself beautiful roses today, being his mom and bringing him up like this: like a precious rose..
Be well

Beautiful, as always! :)
Your roses are spectacular!! I too grow roses and am pretty good at it, but I think yours are over the top. Have a great Monday, Theresa
The roses are just beautiful. What an enjoyable garden. Sandi
Breathtakingly gorgeous roses, would you share all the names to me, please. I can't get enough of your blog pictures ... at my last house we had 20 roses bushes, but I only have a couple here ... I need to get some like yours. They would compliment my gardens wonderfully.
I can nearly smell the scent thru the blog ..... come over & visit my gardens I just posted. Have a lovely week.

Thank you so much for posting the lovely pictures! I was having a blue morning but those roses have turned my day around. So beautiful!
Thank you for sharing these lovely roses. i too grow roses but nothing to compare with yours although I do have about 50 shrub roses and about 20 rambling roses.
I will never get sick of your beautiful roses!!

If my yard looked half that GORGEOUS I'd never go back inside!
Melissa
Your photos inspire me to have more roses in my back yard. It so amazing that each rose holds it own unique beauty.
Getting tired of your garden/rose pictures?! NEVER! :)
A question - I should have pruned my Jude rose bush about two months ago, but it was always too cold to go outside with my "current responsibility".... is it too late? Or should I just let the canes grow as they are now?
Oh I do wish I could go hang out in your garden LOL. It looks like the most peaceful place.
All the best,
Allison
I don't know how anyone could tire of seeing your beautiful roses. They're absolutely stunning! And such a treat to see!
I am blown away by your gorgeous garden of roses. I hope to have a garden like this someday - it would be a dream come true. Thanks so much for the lovely photos!!!
Wowza, somebody likes roses!!! Absolutely beautiful and inspiratinal. :) Love everything! :)
Your roses are just the best...I live in New England...this is my first spring in this house...I want to plant some rose bushes...do you recommend a particular species for this area?
I love those big full blooms that look almost like a peony...
Your gardens are just breathtaking...
Blessings,
Susie
If you get more rain - please send it down to victoria! LOL
Your backyard is looking delish!
Oh, these are the most beautiful roses I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing. Your pictures are awesome...I can almost smell them. Thanks again, Mumzie
Those St Cecilias are gorgeous. Are they a David Austin rose?
Your garden is inspirational. Do you grow much apart from roses?
Kate
I could never tire of seeing your lovely roses. Whoever could? Just amazing.
Oh my goodness!
Such loveliness here!
Your garden is so dreamy!
Sigh.
Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog and for sharing YOUR gorgeous blog with us too. I've added it to my Blog Candy page.

To Our Red House:
Yes, I do grow other things apart from roses, annuals and perennials and some ground covers and climbers which are not roses to zest up the garden. Roses have been the main thing in the back garden though, I find them very easy as when they are established they fend for themselves when I can't attend to them too closely. They are tough in drought too.
Oh my god, such abundance of so beautiful roses in your garden.... your roses must love you as much as you love them!!
