Roses growing

This is coming out to be a year for Roses. The weather absolutely perfect for blooming.

Rose 'Bantry Bay' a delicious red.

 

Rambling rose 'Rambling Rector' always gives a good show in the garden no matter what the weather. Dry weather though brings out the scent, a delicious fruity one that wafts over the garden. We have two 'Rambling Rectors', one is over the outhouse and this one which is supported by a tripod framework that spans over the path. Mingled in at the bottom Honey suckle 'Scentsation' flowers adding an even deeper layer to the scent in this area.

Another favourite Rambler in the garden is 'Leos Eye'. This is a rose that is very difficult for anyone to get as it is only available here in Pembrokeshire as far as I know. The rose itself was found at Picton Castle estate by the Head Gardener and sold only at the gardens themselves.

It's a delicious salmon pink that can be quite hard to capture by the camera unless the lighting is just right, but this photo is about right.
