Anyone for Raspberry Ripple? The King’s Rose that is. Every bloom is a surprising swirl of pink and creamy white petals.
Bred by David Austin Roses.
Happy Sunday everyone, take care. #roses 🌱

The hybrid musk #roses started blooming in this garden in late May. With their gnarled branches it takes ages to prune these big old girls, I sometimes fret I’m too brutal or not brutal enough. That’s #gardening for you. Have a good day everyone. #throwbackthursday 🌱

Lady of Shallot glowing in #Michaelmas sunshine. Can never resist collecting conkers! It’s a mast year (meaning bumper crop) for chestnut and oak trees.

Climbing rose Peach Melba, her petal colour softening as autumn creeps in. In these fractious times, the regular rhythm of #RoseWednesday is a calming highlight. Take care everyone. 🌱
