Beautiful roses as always!!!!
Happy book signing ~ FlowerLady
Hi Lorraine! Thank you so much. I’m excited for the signing and will post photos next week.
I hope you are well and I send wishes for a wonderful Sunday. x G
These are all so beautiful. I grow Olivia Rose Austin in my garden and just love it! I definitely want to plant Munstead Wood in the future. :)
Hi Veronica!
Lovely to hear from you. Yes, Olivia Rose Austin is one of the prettiest ever. And Munstead Wood is truly one of the most fragrant roses and so luscious. Quite thorny but worth it!
Wishing you a great Sunday. G
Georgianna, these roses are just gorgeous!
I sure wish I were not on the opposite coast, as I would love to meet you.
Have a wonderful week, my friend.
xo.
Hi Lisa! I’m so glad you enjoyed the roses and thank you, as always, for your visits. I would love to meet you, too! If I can schedule an event on the East Coast, I will certainly let you know. Hope you’ve been enjoying summer! xo G
This is one of my favorite blog posts that you’ve done – thanks for sharing it! Best wishes at the book signing – any chance you’ll be in the Chicago area? Would love to meet you and David one day!
Hi Cole!
Thanks so much. I thought that you would enjoy it. :)
No plans for Chicago currently but would be great. We’d love to meet all of you, too! Best, G
Excellent choice! Though I miss Eglatyne ;-)
Thanks for showing some of your favorites! Love from Pernille
Thanks, Pernille! I do love and grow Eglantyne. These images were outtakes from Vintage Roses. Thanks for stopping by! xo G
Your views and two books are so charming and romantics . Congratulations Georgiana.
Thank you so much, Maryline! Very happy to hear from you. best, Georgianna
Love these roses, and your book I am sure is amazing. We grow quite a few of these is our small garden in Texas. They are heaven, and have survived a four-year illness on my part when no one worked in my yard and a year-long remodel on our outside that include foundation work. I have propagated Heritage and Abraham Darby in a #10 round tub, and these roses mix beautifully with the cuttings Clair Martin allowed her to take from the Huntington Gardens- she then propagated them and sent them to me in Texas, but the Austin roses once established are practically indestructible. We need your book to go along with Mr. Martins.
