Cecile Brunner, the Sweetheart Rose
Cecile Brunner must be the most popular climbing rose in California. She's readily available at nurseries, and in the Bay Area where I live, glorious mounds fill freeway beds, and long canes grace pergolas in city parks. In neighborhoods you may find her neat and tidy on an arch in the garden,...

Saying Goodbye to My Rose Garden
I'd been saying goodbye to my rose garden for four years, and finally this past September, I dug up seventeen roses, a few perennials, a couple of shrubs and moved. Now in my new home, it seems I owe my well-loved garden a proper goodbye here on the blog. I've gone through every emotion l...

Great Red Roses
. . . the red roses, ah the red roses are for love triumphant . . . A mere 110 million roses, mostly red, will be sold in the three day period surrounding Valentine's Day! Yes, florist roses can be beautiful, but what about the great red roses in our own gardens? Here are ten that I love in...
Lovely Isabelle, thanks for that!

Pink Rose Memories
Imagine an adventurous and hot day in the glorious Sacramento Old City Cemetery Rose Garden shooting hundreds of pictures (this was in April 2015), and then a seventy mile drive home with two best flower friends. It must have been about 5:00 pm when Susan and I dropped Mary at her doorstep. Ma...

sorry about that Julianne, take the rose, with bugs, to your local nursery and see what they have to say. I have no idea. Good luck.

Rose Pests– bad bugs
Green lady bug? Nope. Why am I showing holes in the rose petals? If this picture is too sad– look no further. If you are squeamish– turn back. This is a bad bug rose post– a visual introduction to help you identify who might be harming your roses. I'll tell you about my personal exp...
Hi Betty, it's a great time to plant roses, if you have questions, ask your local nursery people.

Dr. Huey a Rose Sucker
Rose Suckering "Is the doctor in the house?" "No, he's out in the neighborhood– and pretty easy to find in April and May." Yep, he's right outside my front door wrecking havoc on my prize R. rugosa alba standard. And OMG he's across the street– hey I thought that was a yellow rose. ...
Good to hear from you Connie, yes I regard it as a little miracle in the garden.

Rose Bouquet Gathering of Royalty
It's a special privilege to harvest roses from one's own garden any day of the year. On May 16, for the Celebration of Old Roses, I knew it was going to be slim pickings though, since my roses were almost spent. Several shrubs only had one rose to offer, but in the end, the bouquet I made for ...
Oh how I know what you mean, thanks for writing!

Dear Carol, thanks so much for commenting here! How I wish we could get together in your extraordinary garden. I'm happy to be back blogging and love that you are out there tuning in.

Oh Pamela, you are so sweet, thanks. I so often feel I'm posting in a vacuum, because people don't comment. But so many people at my open garden mentioned the blog, and I haven't really posted for so long. How does your Carolyn rose do? Is it a slow grower? Does it have any long canes? It makes me happy that you have one!
