Goodness, that you live within walking distance close of these inspired blooms. You are a lucky human being – slightly jealous, but glad for you. Thanks Cindy!
Peonies are one of my most favorite flowers and will not grow at The Holler. I had them at my wedding. It is very true, David Austin Roses resemble the multi-layered magnifence of peonies, but they are roses, and so beautiful. It is harsh at The Holler for sensitive plants. I am so happy they are thriving. I had to order them by mail and wait a year to get them დ
Cindy, your photos are absolutely stunning. I have to share… they made me think of my dear grandmother Evelyn, who loved roses, so thank you for that thought. 🌹💗
Our roses aren’t out yet. In fact it hasn’t been warm enough to get out and feed and prune my roses. A few didn’t make it through the winter so I’ll have to replace them. Have you ever grown a Whiskey Jack, then there’s the Tropicana. They are amazing.
Leslie
I am so sorry about your roses not making it through winter. That is is sad and discouraging. The only Whiskey Jack I know about is a clever Canadian Jay, but I do grow a Tropicana rose. What synchronicity! I love the colors. I grow quite a few roses and I especially love the oranges, peaches, yellows, whites and lavenders. I like Coco Loco’s. They are fun. They bloom full in a chocolate hue, and then turn lavender. They are strong scented. I love all roses! I hope yours are blooming soon. You know better than I, delayed blooms, bloom bigger! დ
Yes. Agreed. The scent is so much a part of the whole intoxication package. Please do find a Coco Loco. You will be so happily surprised. I was/remain amazed by them, and they are thriving, which is not easy to do here.
I first ordered the roots, which came from Shropshire, around the time David Austin died. The New York Times, said at the date of his death, “David Austin, a self-taught horticulturist who upended the rose market by creating more than 200 hybrids that were distinguished by their broad color range, ambrosial fragrances and multiple annual blooms, died on Dec. 18 at his home in Albrighton, in Shropshire County, England. He was 92.” Dec 28, 2018
They are in high demand all over the world, and so worth waiting for. It is the density of the delicate multi-layered petals that makes them so special to me.
I’d sure love to get a whiff of those! May is a good month for roses in my neck of the woods… usually. I expect they will be late this year as so many blooms are, but I’ll have to take one of my neighborhood “rose walks” soon and find out! Thank you for sharing.
So wonderful Cindy! I love the delicacy and fragrance! We grew several David Austin roses for years … and then a series of mega hot humid summers and freezing winters took the life out of them. Thanks for sharing their glory 🥰
That’s sad. I am sorry. I am actually suprised and very pleased they are thriving here. It gets very hot in the summer which is hard on them. But they are healthy and disease free დ
I’m been having difficulty getting into the reader, gal. Well getting in but it would not let do anything, at last I got through. Hope it lets me in again today.
Bootiful!
WP gremlins are a significant problem and challenge. I feel your pain and am sorry you are experiencing this. It is blog limiting. Take good care my friend & thank you for stopping by despite the challenges დ
Amazing and beautiful, Cindy. ❤️
Thank you so much John! So happy you enjoyed დ
Beautiful Cindy ❤️
Thanks so much my friend & take good care დ
They are so luscious, Cindy. The scent must be heavenly.
They are such wonderful roses. I was worried they wouldn’t do well in the harsh Holler climate, but they are troopers! დ
Goodness, that you live within walking distance close of these inspired blooms. You are a lucky human being – slightly jealous, but glad for you. Thanks Cindy!
They are amazing roses and grow alongside our house. I had to order them and wait a long time to get the bare roots. Happy you enjoyed them Neil დ
Are you sure those are roses? They look like peonies.
Peonies are one of my most favorite flowers and will not grow at The Holler. I had them at my wedding.

Wonderful roses, Cindy. So beautiful.
I love David Austin’s and am so surprised and pleased they are thriving at The Holler. This is not an easy place for sensitive plants to grow დ
Could have fooled me. It looks like paradise.
დდ

It is wonderful to know these roses have a scent – so many don’t these days.
I usually pick roses for their color, but thankfully they all have wonderful scents. I didn’t know many don’t have the heady aroma. That’s sad დ
These roses are gorgeous!! The scent must be intoxicating and layers of petals. It’s great you can enjoy these beauties everyday.
So pleased you enjoyed & Happy Sunday my friend დ
It is an amazing collection
Happy you enjoyed Derrick & cheers to you my friend დ
Just gorgeous!
Merci beaucoup mon Ami Jo! დ
🤗💗
Oh my, this is such a gene-rose post! I’m so mesmerized I almost can’t form a scentence. Lol! 🥀 —-(◔˽◔๑)–♥️
Your comments are always scent-sational my friend 😉 😉
Why thank you! I just go with the flow-er! (❦ ᴗ ❦ ✿)
🙂
Wowwww! Never seen roses like that. So beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️
Happy you enjoyed Deborah & pleased to make the introduction! დ
My neighbor grows roses from this source and they are indeed beautiful and scentabulous. 🙂
I love them! I ordered them a few years ago and it took a year to get them. დ
They are huge Cindy, as is obviously the scent 🤣❤️🙏
Yes! Big, bold, beauties! დ
Fabulous
Grazie mille Sheree დ
I love these
So happy you do! დ
Their scents have found their way to my computer. Excellent!
Smiling…. Thanks you & cheers to you დ
Wonderful shots of the roses, Cindy. Thank you.
You are so welcome my friend & cheers to you დ
Wow, gorgeous roses! They remind me of peonies
They look very similar don’t they. Happy you enjoyed them Lisa & cheers დ
WOW… love these roses…. <3 Beautiful <3
Grazie mille Sue დ
These are very substantial roses! I agree with Lisa that they remind me of peonies.
Yes, they are layered like peonies, but textured and scented like roses დ
Ooooh, wonderful! <3
They are special roses aren’t they! დ
Thank you for the beautiful bouquet, Cindy!
I wish I could give you a real one Dale დ
Awww. This is so lovely!
დდ
Oh, my!
დდდ
Wow, so very nice!
Thank you sincerely Eddie დ
You’re welcome dear heart
Visa versa 2UX2 დდ
cool (is this still said?)
Maybe only by me, constantly. And thankfully you, too დდ
Thankfully!
Wow! Those look more like peonies than roses! 🩷
Yes. They do resemble peonies especially in photographs დ
One of my favorite flowers! So lovely!
They are favorite of mine as well. Happy you enjoyed them Alethea & thank you! დ
Cindy, your photos are absolutely stunning. I have to share… they made me think of my dear grandmother Evelyn, who loved roses, so thank you for that thought. 🌹💗
I am happy the roses evoked positive associations with Evelyn. Thank you sincerely Michele for your very kind comments დ
Thank you! I feel her with me. 💞
დდდ
Beautiful! I love roses of all colors.
You & I are in full accord! Thank you & cheers to you დ

I must try your Coco Loco. The nice thing about Whiskey Jack and Tropicana is, they not only have gorgeous colours but intense scent.
Leslie
Yes. Agreed. The scent is so much a part of the whole intoxication package. Please do find a Coco Loco. You will be so happily surprised. I was/remain amazed by them, and they are thriving, which is not easy to do here.
Gorgeous photos of the roses! Amazing that they have scent. So many roses are bred for colour, blooms, etc. and the scent is sacrificed.
Lucky Cindy!
People keep saying this. I didn’t know about this. Live and learn. All my roses thankfully smell wonderful დ
დდ
What amazingly full roses. I can smell them almost from here!
Smiling! I wish you really could. I bought them from the UK and had to wait a year for them to ship. You can go smell (and see) a gorgeous variety at Kew Gardens: https://www.davidaustinroses.com/products/kew-gardens#:~:text=Named%20in%20celebration%20of%20the,Roses%20and%20other%20shrub%20roses.
Oh, yes I will do that next time I go… soon. Great that you got them form the UK, but unbelievable it took so long.

i can understand that they are special to you.
დდდ
I wish you really could! They were shipped from the The UK and took patience to get. They are UK born and bred. You can go see a smell some wonderful varieties at The Kew. See: https://www.davidaustinroses.com/products/kew-gardens#:~:text=Named%20in%20celebration%20of%20the,Roses%20and%20other%20shrub%20roses.
Gorgeous, Cindy. I love all the varieties. Everything is coming up roses here now, too, and the scents are everywhere. 🌹
California plants are singing the HAPPY Song and I love it! დ
Beauties.
They are special დ
Gorgeous
You and Jack have always made me happy. Take good care Pauline დ
Thanks Cindy
დდ
Wunderschön.
Ich schatze deine Freundlichkeit sehr, Marie. Danke & lass es dir gut gehen დ
🥀 Roses! 🌹
Amen დ

Wonderful! Enoy. Many of mine are blooming away, whilst others are still preparing. In a few weeks they all will be strutting their stuff! დ
So wonderful Cindy! I love the delicacy and fragrance! We grew several David Austin roses for years … and then a series of mega hot humid summers and freezing winters took the life out of them. Thanks for sharing their glory 🥰
That’s sad. I am sorry. I am actually suprised and very pleased they are thriving here. It gets very hot in the summer which is hard on them. But they are healthy and disease free დ
We are about to plant a Katsura tree where the roses were. Something to look forward to for generations to come 🥰
How lovely.
Love!
Wonderful to hear from you! Hope all is well. Heading over to your blog now დ
Intricate beauty. Ah, Mother Nature! ♥
Hello there! Thanks much & so great to hear from you! Heading over to your blog to see what you’re up to დ

Ah… so special and beauty! 🙂
So appreciated Amy. Hope all is well with you my friend დ
As my dear wife says, a David in full
blossom is a sight to behold 🏵️ 👀
Smiling….. Your wife is right! დ
These are gorgeous! They’re so big. They almost look like peonies, so full and ruffled. 🌹
They do look very much like peonies, but when you actually see them, you would know they are roses. Happy you like them & cheers my friend დ
Wow! such amazing colors. A neighbor here has lots of roses and it’s worth it to walk by to smell that heavenly scent!
Really beautiful roses! I love how puffy round they are and so many layers! I do wish I could smell them 🙂
I wish I could give you a bouquet Bridgette! დ
