The deep pink rose is President de Seze. The bluish magenta pink graduates from the center to the edge. Very impressive
rose even at a distance.
The soft apricot pink rose on the right is ER Gentle Hermione. Elegant cupped flower, very healthy. Continuous flowering.
Under the roses, there are geranium (pink), lavender, and ram's ear. I
planted romantic color flowers in the west border garden. My favorite color!
This new little flower bed was created by paving the watering place area
with red bricks.
Under 'Gunsei' there is Reine des Violettes.
Mr. Peter Beales wrote in his book 'Roses' "If I had to choose just
one Hybrid Perpetual, it would have to be this one."
It's so cute with elegant purple color.
Last year I planted some new roses, however, I had to pinch almost all
the buds except one or two in order to grow rose trees. (I had learned
the way from some rose expert.) So, I can enjoy the flowers to my heart's
content this year! Actually how wonderful they are blooming! Every rose
is so charming, since I bought them carefully examining and selecting one
by one among the roses in the catalogue.
For the roses, I made rose walks here and there in my garden. Please enjoy
my new garden areas.
Potted roses on the terrace bloom well in this season.
The very little pink rose is 'Yumeotome,' dreaming girl in Japanese. The red rose is
ER Tess of the d'Urbervilles.
The west border garden gets a lot of sunshine much more than anywhere in my garden.
Roses in the west garden grow well and bloom well. All of the roses in
the west garden are my favorite. Most of them are old roses which bloom
once in a seaon, so, the blooming season is special for me.
I also made a new brick walk in the south garden of my house. Here is
another little flower bed.
ER Princess Alexandra of Kent is very suitable for this area. Bright color, elegant flower shape. How
lovely!
This tall pink flower is Eremurus 'Orange Pink' (Foxtail Lily).
The orange pink flower like sparks is very impressive. I'm happy to know
it passed the winter even in Hokkaido, the Northern most island of Japan,
though it is said it will disappear a few years later.
It matches well with the white foxglove and Allium Giganteum.
The white rose, Sombreil.
The multiple layer of the pure white petals seems so noble.
West kitchen garden in front of the gardenshed.
I made the brick walk here, too and planted new roses.
ER Harlow Carr is a pretty, fragrant and healthy rose.
I bought this rose in memory of my visiting Harlow Carr in 2012, which
is the northern garden in England. I thought the climate was similar to
Hokkaido and this rose was suitable for my garden. It's true!
Mortimer Sackler
Slender Climbing rose of David Austin without prickles. Very delicate figure
with thin leaves and cute baby pink flowers. Middle height. Repeat flowering.
Very healty and tolerant of cold. My most favorite rose now!
Gardenshed front garden
Laduree is very graceful and gorgeous. It looks delicious just like its famous macaron. The beauty of this rose is special!
In the west pergola area, the white roses are blooming together with lime
green hostas and sage.
Bright lime color matches the pure white roses.
One day I enjoyed rose flower arranging with my friend in the gardenshed.
We cut as many roses as we could and put all of them in the shed. Thanks
to the gardenshed, my life became enriched.
ER Redoute
After we made the gardenshed, Redoute blooms better than before.
It became healthy because the gardenshed protect the rose from the north wind in winter?
East garden from the wooden terrace.. Paul's Himarayan Musk on the arch is blooming.
The south garden of my house is actually the shade garden because of the
adjacent neighbor's house. So I planted the roses and flowers tolerant
of shade.
The rose 'Gunsei,' myriads of stars in Japanese, has the buds with red tint on the tip, however,
it becomes pure white when it blooms.
It looks like myriads of stars actually!
ER The Pilgrim
I grow this rose for a long time. The longer I grow, the more I love this
rose. The creamy pure yellow color reminds me of the lemon sorbet.
Laduree
Named after Laduree, the patisserie in Paris, famous for the coloful macarons.
Laduree's color is actually the raspberry macaron color!
The raspberry pink color and flower shape is very rare and charming.
With Heuchera 'Orange marmalade', Agapanthus 'Silver moon.'
Around the watering place, I removed the gravel, put the earth through
a sieve, and paved the area with red bricks. Very hard work of two years!
Under the bricks I put the weed protect sheet of Dupon, however some weeds
still grow between the bricks. Weeds are strong!
Also Allium giganteum in this side.
This purple Allium reproduces well, though white Allium was not strong
enough and disappeared in my garden.
The soft pink rose on the left is the climbing rose, ER The Generous Gardener. The gentle soft pink color matches the pergola area. Repeat flowering, tolerant of shade. I dream this rose will grow taller and bloom a lot!
ER Lady of Shalott
I grew Pat Austin before, however, it disappeared because of the winter
coldness, so I bought this apricot rose remembering Pat Austin. Now I love
this rose very much.
The mild orange color and the frilled flower shape looks so graceful.
