Welcome March!
March is here already and spring is
on the way.Although we had a good
winter here I am enjoying the warmer
temperatures and was happy to see a
few daffodils already poking through the
ground. Most of my flower beds are covered
in snow but on the few bare spots there are already
signs of rebirth.
Today I have a couple more garden books that I am
happy to review for Firefly Books.
I was especially delighted with The English Roses book
as I love David Austin roses and have several in our
garden.
This is a photo from David Austin's garden
that I would love to visit one day.
Can you imagine the fragrance and beauty
of so many David Austin roses?
The book is full of beautiful rose photos
and a description of them.

I'm in love with David Austin Roses!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to buy a few this year! But which ones to choose, as they are all so gorgeous!
Which ones do you have?
Hi Deanna,
ReplyDeleteI have The Dark Lady, Mary Rose, The Generous Gardener, The Pilgrim,
Golden Celebration, Graham Thomas,Gertrude Jekyll to name a few.
I have lost some in the past if we had a very cold winter and not much snow protection.
I will be looking for a few new ones again this spring as well.
Always fun to have new choices to pick from.
Thanks for your visit,
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI too love David Austin roses - and as I live in the UK I have been able to go and buy some from the company direct. We went in June, and the whole 'rose experience' in their show garden was incredible! We really enjoyed sitting down and taking it all in! Gilly (Cornwall, UK)
Ah, yes. . .David Austin roses. They are beautiful, many are repeat bloomers, and the fragrance of so many of them is incomparable. That is always one of the things I look for in a rose is the fragrance. We've been very fortunate with the different varieties from DA, and I'd highly recommend this as a reliable source. Thank you for the visual treat, today!
ReplyDeleteI just received my catalog 2 days ago. I keep looking and looking and all I can say is....I want one of each! So hard to choose. When I watch Midsomer Murders on Netflix I look at the gardens now since I've seen all the murder mysteries several times over. One episode is extremely enchanting and I don't remember the name of the episode but a retired doctor lived in an old schoolhouse. Loved the house (school) and the gardens.
ReplyDeleteLove those David Austin Roses!! I've got two new ones to plant tomorrow, Desdemona and Boscobel. For form and fragrance, the English roses are far and away the best! Thanks for the pretty post.
