Yesterday morning, I looked out the window & went out to take a landscape photo but this caught my eye. #photography#roses#dew#gardening@gardening This is the only blooming rose in the rose garden at the moment Ingrid Bergman.
The last of the shrub rose blooms. Very thorny, but brought a few in last night before our first hard freeze. Very strong scent - the whole kitchen smells of roses. @gardening#bloomscrolling#roses
@plants One thing I'm noticing as I engage in a fall cleanup of my front yard, including mainly planting cold weather plants & adding mulch, the 2 quince trees that I planted this past spring in the front yard have not only survived but grown sizably, so I'm now considering planting a few more small trees in the front yard.
Another possibility is my trying to get some roses to put along my backyard property line, with some Egyptian walking onions, as I really don't like the stench roses have.
There is a sort of roses "Pirnitzer Vitaminrose" or PiRo 3 which is bred for extra big hips with much Vitamine C. It has almost no thorns and flowers like a wild rose.
