Your vibrant work has captured the isolated beautiful of the roses with your masterful talent and sensitivity. Thank You .
Thank you Brian. Glad you enjoyed my work.
Thank you so much for the information about growing roses from a seed.
Glad you found the information useful Brenda. Wish you the best with your roses!
Hi Stan: I want to grow hips and have propagated a 20 yard row from progeny from old plants I was forced to dig up to make a sea wall. They’ve been growing, thriving really, for about 3 years and are now thick and bushy and perhaps 4 ft high. They flower nicely, though not prolifically and so there haven’t been many hips. Boohoo. Could that be an age phenomenon and I just haven’t waited long enough? A rich neighbor who can afford a gardener has an old stand that the gardener prunes, significantly, and they are bountiful with hips every year – perhaps the most bountiful plants I’ve ever seen. They are also quite old. Have you got any tips for me on how to up hip production? Thanks, Bill from SE Mass.
I just sent you an email Bill. Hope the tips help you.
I stumbled upon your site…and….WOW!!!! Brave…where can I purchase those stunning coloured climbing Iceberg roses?
Beautiful roses, beautiful pictures!! I came across your site in my “once every few years” search of a rose that grew at my childhood home. The owners mom planted it, who had since passed so she didn’t know. It has since perished so I can’t try to grow any cuttings and yet I still look… So many are so similar but don’t quite match… Someday… That and the peaches that she had, those are my white whales!! I would give my entire plant & garden for those two alone!!
Hello Martina. If you have any photos of that rose or if you can describe it to me, perhaps I can help you with finding out her name and if another is still available.
Thanks for all of this information Martina. The 1987 date rules out many that first came to mind, such as Rio Samba, Perfect Moment and perhaps Gold Medal. I think the rose Peace is still very much in the running though. I have had four of the rose named Peace over the years and the blooms on two of them were far more vibrant that the others for some unknown reason. Other possibilities are; Angel Wings, Summer Fashion, Oriental Dawn, Bright Angel, Circus, Circus Parade, perhaps one named Fascinating, Sheila’s Perfume, an outside chance it could have been Kiss of Fire or maybe Bellevue. I am still thinking it is indeed either Peace or Sheila’s Perfume. It comes down to how much blending there is of the colors and the one of the two top choices of mine that holds the deeper colors would be Sheila’s Perfume. I hope this is helpful to you.
Also, the one labeled Love and Peace is close, but the pink wasn’t as dark… The Tahitian Sunset is very close, too, but mine had more separation between pink and yellow. Also, I know we moved there in ’87 and that bush was well established already.
I came upon your website by accident …and what a wonder to behold…I have now bookmarked it and will return time and time again just to gaze on the beautiful images you have captured on film. Thank you for this insite into something so simple as nature at its best.
Thank you for your kind words Susan. I am delighted that you enjoyed your visit and I sincerely hope you do come back and enjoy my photography work some more.
Hi Steve. I tried to email you but it kept bouncing back at me. Give your rosebushes a treatment of Bayer Tree & Shrub granules and spray the top part with some Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer. Usually one treatment of the granules per growing season is enough, follow up with the spraying as needed to get after the adult beetles.
Thank you so much Ann! Your kind words are so much appreciated. I hope you will come back often and enjoy my photographic works and articles, as well as the links on my site. Another rosebush you should check out is Ebb Tide, she is gorgeous!! Fragrant Plum is also a nice rose of the purpleish color.
Wow, you do take gorgeous images of healthy roses.
You certainly can prune them back but it will sacrifice some more blooms until new growth brings more blooms on. If they are quite tall, you could prune back by a foot to 18 inches. They will grow back from there and this should not kill them. I would water them with some water that has a product called Super Thrive mixed into the water before pruning them back. Then after pruning them, water them with the Super Thrive and water mix the next 4 to 5 times they need watering. If you cannot find Super Thrive locally, there are good places to buy it on Ebay.
