Although they are getting few and far between, we still have a few roses blooming in the rain. This is one of my favorites that does well in both my gardens, 'Sentimental'. I'm hoping it will bloom through the holidays because I think it would make a nice flower for Christmas arrangements because it reminds me of peppermint candy!

Still a Few Blooms
Although they are getting few and far between, we still have a few roses blooming in the rain. This is one of my favorites that does well in both my gardens, 'Sentimental'. I'm hoping it will bloom through the holidays because I think it would make a nice flower for Christmas arrangements because it reminds me of peppermint candy!
I saw these recently in a large arrangement at the ARS Fall Nationals. It is a beautiful rose and is on my "wish" list of roses for next year! Thanks for sharing your bloom.
ReplyDeleteHave your roses bloomed that late into the season before? How fortunate you are! Beautiful rose!
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley! Our roses would actually try to bloom year round if we didn't cut them back in January!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful rose! i once grew a similar, peppermint colored rose. Unfortunately, it succumbed to black spot, but I still think it was one of the prettiest. Yours is gorgeous and would be perfect for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, This is a rare rose for me. It's beautiful! Hope it continues to bloom and you enjoy a 'flowerful' Christmas.
