GRACE: English Rose, bred by David Austin in United Kingdom. 2001. Apricot to yellow blend. Very floriferous shrub with medium sized blooms of unusual form with very many petals. Some petals are quite narrow for a rose and almost give the appearance of a different flower altogether. I do not detect much of a fragrance to this rose. Could be my nose!

GUY DE MAUPASSANT: Romantica Rose, bred by Alain Meilland in France.1995. This truly is a romantic looking rose, soft pink to medium pink blooms depending on the time of the year and time of day. I do note that in the evening light, some roses become quite brilliant or deeper in colour.
Unfortunately, I do not detect much of a fragrance to this rose either. But it is certainly a keeper in our garden. Beautifully shaped old fashioned blooms which are formed in many clusters and very abundant.

Hi Pauline,
Those roses all look so beautiful.I never get tired of looking at roses. When do your roses start to bloom? Here on the island the earliest is June but most start in July.
Take care,
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn, thank you. The earliest for my roses is May, but the peek I would say is mid June to mid July. Funny too Carolyn, here where we live we also call it "On the Island" We are only a coast away!:) But so much in between! I am still amazed at your beautiful place. It is better than magazine quality! Eat your heart out "Victoria" Magazine!
Thanks for your response.
Pauline
