More English Roses, Anyone?

Pale pink rose with many petals — Rosa ‘The Generous Gardener’ is a fragrant climbing rose

Roses with rounded blooms packed with many petals — ‘Wollerton Old Hall’ roses tumble in a scented garden

Pink, yellow and apricot roses — Shrub and climbing roses surround ‘The Pilgrim’ on an obelisk

Rosa ‘Summer Song’ is a bold pinky orange colour

‘Lady of Shalott’ rose with catmint

Pink roses with poppies and geraniums — ‘Harlow Carr’ roses with geraniums and poppies in mum’s garden

A folly behind a garden of roses and perennials — Roses and perennials on the lower terrace at Bodnant Garden

Pink roses — Rosa ‘Princess Alexandra of Kent’ has huge flowers on sturdy stems

Yellow roses tumble over a white picket fence

Rosa ‘Golden Celebration’ at an RHS flower show

‘A Shropshire Lad’, another fragrant climbing rose

A creamy white rose with several buds — Rosa ‘Tranquility’, a creamy-white rose with pretty sepals

These are English roses (except in the picture from Bodnant Gardens, other shrub roses, including old roses are mixed in). Completely out of season in gardening terms, but I felt we could all do with something to lift our spirits.

Dedicated to all who suffer when extremists try to impose their warped world view on the rest of us.
