This week a rambling red rose is blooming in the garden. The flowers are a very dark red more like the second photo. Do you have any idea what variety this rose might be? I don't think it's called rambling red although I titled the blog post as that. The blossoms are about two inches across with yellow centers and the petals are double. I don't detect any strong fragrance.
I started organizing the studio today. Actually Gary started opening boxes to prod me along. Later another home remodeling project was moved to the front burner. I may have more pottery to show you coming up if I make it to Helen Arts Center tomorrow if the weather isn't too rainy.
There's a white flowering native vine blooming at the bottom of our driveway I'll have to take a photo to show you. I also saw a
pink azalea and learned from Clay Club it grows only in North Carolina; I'll have to go back and get a photo to see if it's a
rare pinkshell azaleas found on Grandfather Mountain. Hope you are enjoying the spring weather. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
It is nice to see color...all I see at this time is green...but it is a lush green...A few red flowers would be awesome... it is still a little early to put a flower out. I am sure you are having a great time furnishing and decorating your new home. It is tiring but fun!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are pretty. The weather is still a bit chilly and wet here. Nothing is blooming yet. Glad you are enjoying these beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the rambling Rose song. It certainly brings back memories. Blessings, Catherine
Hello Linda:
ReplyDeleteWe are,alas, unable to identify your rose but it really does seem very prolific. WE imagine that it was planted by a previous owner.
Good that you are making progress with your reorganization.
Hi Dee, thanks, we have a great deal of green around us with the woods so the color is definitely welcome.
ReplyDeleteHi Catherine, thanks, for some reason that song popped into my head when I wrote this post. Ha.
Hi Jane and Lance, thanks, yes the previous owner must have planted the rose so glad they did, progress is very slow however,
That is a really pretty rose.
ReplyDeleteIt'll be nice to have the studio unpacked and organized.
