There was only carnation and gerbera in the flower shop at this time, no other possibility, so I had gerbera

Well, he was a bit puzzled..... but he remembered they were cream and yellow flowers and that there were roses.
Before he got that far he tried a diversionary tactic..... "you were my wedding Flower" ....is there any wonder that chap has had the success he has! :)
He also remembered that the two bridesmaids had balls of flowers on ribbons....so quite good going. ;D
The flowers were creamy white freesias, white single, golden centered chrysanthemums and the yellow roses...... I remember it well! ;D
-
I was nearly right then :P
-
Very close indeed, David... but no cigar... they're bad for you! ;)
-
As Maurice Chevalier said "Ah yes, I remember it well." (Lying though his teeth.) ;D

Just a single rose:
Rosa hillieri

Luit that is a lovely single - we don't appear to have it in Oz. Great stamens.

Just the wild Rosa pimpinellifolia which came many years ago from the Burren as a little slip.
-
Ashley I do like the simple beauty of the singles. We don't find this species as a foundling here in South Oz as it is too hot.
-
Thanks Pat. In County Clare on the west coast it thrives within fissures in the limestone pavement, protected from wind and grazing animals. The parent plant was pink flowering but the plant I grew from the slip always flowers cream in my acid soil and is much taller (up to about 45 cm), so environmental conditions affect it a lot.

Only a few odd rose flowers now as we are in the depths of our fairly mild winter.
Imperial Potentate HT (Clarke Bros., '21) Ophelia xx Hoosier Beauty. highly perfumed. Portland Gold Medal
(still in a pot)
John Hopper HP (Ward, 1862) this is one that is found quite often in old gardens. Note the black spot - last blooms for the season.
-
I adore old (and new) roses with scent! Not easy with roses here; the deer, the sheep and the rodents take their toll.
This one has survived though, but is not that showy. It is interesting with its 4-petalled flowers: Rosa sericea (from seed) and sorry, no scent but lots of thorns!
-
R. sericea is a lovely simple rose. Those stems are certainly well clothed with prickles. Need lots of space to grow species like that one well.
One garden that specialises in Asian species is: http://www.quarryhillbg.org/
I visited this garden in 2002.
-
Arykana,
your roses are so beautiful, and it is so nice when you tell us their names. ;D ;D
-
Thank you :-* most of my roses are nameless ::) I f i saw somewhere a flower without a label I always take it
all my lilies came like a gift, because the gardener wanted to trow it out so I told him "What's in a name? that which we call a rose. By any other name would smell ..." and adopted them .................. ;D

Hi Arykana,
quite agree, I also have a lot of nameless beauties. It's just easier to ask for it at a nursery whenever I see one of your roses I must have. ;D ;D ;D
-
You are rigth
Which one would you like?
-
I would like the second one in your post dated 1st June, if it has a nice perfume. ;D ;D ;D
-
Yes, this is the Lili Marlene, one of my favorite, blooming continuously from May to November
-
What a co-incidence, I saw it recently in bud in my favourite rose nursery and was wondering whether to buy it. Now I shall. Thank you. :) :) :)
