I took an afternoon stroll in the winter sunshine yesterday, and I walked past a rose bush I have always admired. Sadly, it was hacked at by the new owners of the house, yet it seems to be springing back, and is well enough to send forth some blooms this year! This single bush displays roses in shades of pale yellow with pink edges, vibrant pink, carmine and orange. The former owner whom I met one day before she moved away) wass unsure of its origins, as it was part of the garden when she bought the property, however after I first saw it, I did some research to try and find out what it is. I think it is a Desert Peace rose. Bathed in beautiful sunshine the vibrant bloom was too beautiful not to photograph.
The “Desert Peace” rose is a hybrid tea rose with yellow blend blooms, with pink edges. It was produced by Meilland International in France in 1991.
Yes, spring is in the air, as winter in Melbourne makes a reluctant retreat. Tuesday was a beautifully day with big blue skies and glorious sunshine, although it was and remains rather chilly for this time of year with a iciness in the air as you inhale it whilst on a walk like I took.
Last Friday I went to visit a friend who has a beautiful, rambling cottage garden: a haven of colour and greenery in the inner city. His roses are starting to bloom as the days grow longer and there is more sunshine. This includes a wonderful classic old fashioned French rose - Souvenir de la Malmaison.
“Souvenir de la Malmaison”, a shrub rose, was introduced in 1843 by Lyon rose breeder, Jean Béluze. The rose was bred as a result of crossing Rosa Madame Deprez (a Bourbon rose) with a tea rose, possibly Devoniensis, and was originally called ‘”Queen of Beauty and Fragrance”, which says a great deal about her looks and character. Her later famous name comes from Château du Malmaison in Paris. Malmaison was the home of Empereur Napoléon Bonaparte and his wife Impératrice Josephine de Beauharnais. Josephine loved gardening and she fell in love with the English garden style much to the dislike of Napoleon. Her passion were the classic roses, and she asked painter Pierre Joseph Redouté to paint all possible varieties in the Malmaison gardens. It would make Redouté famous. Interestingly, when hostilities existed with England and other European countries, Josephine was still able to buy roses from England. Her collection at Malmaison was the largest and most complete in the Western hemisphere. After her death the gardens were neglected and the rose collection was destroyed. The much-romanticised history of Malmaison sparked an unbelievable amount of rose breeders to produce thousands of varieties of the old classic roses. This is the reason why so many classic roses are French and from the second half of the Nineteenth Century today. Legend has it that the rose’s name was changed some thirty years after Josephine’s death to honour the estate, when the Grand Duke Michael of Russia obtained a specimen for the Imperial Gardens in St Petersburg as a present to the Tsar. However, this has subsequently been disputed and it is thought to simply be a lovely fictional story to add to the romance and history of this beautiful rose.
Spring has finally come to Melbourne after a long and grey winter, and everywhere, gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
Crimson Glory is a David Austen hybrid tea rose, which as the name suggests has large, deep crimson blooms. As the bloom ages it eventually ends up with purple tints. It is very fragrant.
Found in a garden whilst on a walk to visit a sick friend, it is an example of the profusion of fragrant tea roses we have seen this summer. This year's season has given us a mixed bag of weather including some hot and humid days that have brought out so many blooms, and the air is full of their perfume.

I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other day, and I walked past a house with a delightful rose garden all out in bloom. This included a "Blue Moon" rose bush, whose soft lilac flowers were too beautiful not to photograph.

On the outskirts of Havre, Montana are these two old, rotting cars that look like they have been parked there for many years. I finally had the courage to photograph them.
There are a lot of old, rusting cars like this scattered all over Montana. I do like photographing them. These in particular had a spirit about them.

Bright paint on antique shutters at the Abraham Van Campen Farmhouse, once the residence of an early settler who arrived around 1732 in what is now northern New Jersey by the Delaware River. Over his lifetime, Van Campen accumulated 10,000 acres of land for his family, and he and his descendants became some of the leading citizens of the area. The house itself was moved along with a few others in the area to Millbrook Village in 1978 to rescue it from destruction during the Tock's Island Dam project. The Dam was never built, the land was not flooded, but luckily the historic house had been moved only a few miles from it's original place.
I just love these small and oldfashioned fishing boats and
their wondeful sound; donk-donk-donk.
I think this is the only remaining one here.
I have never grown this plant in my garden, but having seen these in one of my neighbor's yard, I will definitely consider it for next year. They grow tall (6-8 ft.) and are beautiful!

My "Gold Medal" hybrid tea rose is always the first to bloom in my rose garden every year. Now I know that spring is finally here. It looks like I will have a fine showing looking at all the buds about to burst out in the first flush of blooms.
The "Gold Medal" hybrid tea rose was first bred in 1982 in the United States by Jack Christensen, and later introduced to market by Armstrong Nursery. Jack is the youngest rose breeder to develop an All-American rose and he is credited with hybridising over eighty different types of roses. This rose was created by crossing elements from the roses Granada, Garden Party, and Yellow Pages. The result is a gorgeous yellowish rose that has rich copper accents, that ultimately fades to a soft cream color.

Wandiligong is a town in north-eastern Victoria in the alpine region around 330 kilometres from Melbourne. Established in the 1850s as part of the Victorian Gold Rush, Wandiligong became a hub for many gold miners, including a large Chinese community. At its peak, the town was home to over two thousand inhabitants and boasted shops, churches, a public library, halls and even an hotel. Much has changed since those heady days of the gold rush, and the picturesque town nestled in a valley and built around the Morses Creek, is now a sleepy little town full of picturesque houses which are often let to visitors to the area. The whole town is registered with the National Trust of Australia for its historic landscape and buildings of historic value.
I took an afternoon stroll in the spring sunshine the other week, and I walked past a house with a delightful rose garden all out in bloom. This included a wonderful, vibrant yellow variety called "Gold Medal", which I also have blooming in my garden, although not currently. Basking in the sunshine, these glorious blooms were too beautiful not to photograph.

It was a cold and overcast morning, but that broke up and this afternoon is glorious sunshine and blue skies and I enjoyed standing in the warm sunshine, photographing my rose garden.

Wanna Buy Me A Coffee?
It may be Autumn in Melbourne, but it still feels very much like summer. Summer was milder than predicted this year, and it seems like it is bleeding into autumn, for the weather is warming up and everywhere gardens are bursting forth with beautiful coloured blooms in a profusion of colours.
I took an afternoon stroll in the sunshine the other day, and I walked past this beautiful vermilion rose basking in the glorious light. Its pollen covered petals look as though it has been dusted in gold dust, or perhaps sun dust!
