Hi there! The summer is well underway now, and I am still trying to catch up with all of the growth (read: weeds!) in my garden from when we were away. Ireland has had an amazing stretch of warm weather the past six weeks. My roses have absolutely loved it, and they are the highlight of my post today.
I’m joining Garden Ruminations for the Six on Saturday meme just to get back into the swing of things here. 🙂
In Peace,
Dana
1, 2, & 3: David Austin Roses: Boscobel (salmon color), Princess Anne & James Austin (bottom middle and bottom right, a bright, deep pink), and Olivia Rose Austin (medium pink). They’re gorgeous and they are fragrant. I love ’em!
4, 5 & 6: Lichfield Angel David Austin roses (cream), pink alstroemeria, and blue delphinium. I made an arrangement with these lovelies earlier this week. The Lichfield Angel roses tend to be a bit floppy, so I used some wire to keep at least one of their heads up. Some floppiness is ok, but it’s really nice to see their smiling faces, too!
Quite a quick one this week. I hope you’ve enjoyed it nonetheless!
Here’s to enjoying our gardens in peace and harmony with our surroundings. ❤️

Wowee those roses are superb! 😘🌸💞⚘ Such lovely varieties. That delphinium is lovely too, wish I could grow them!
Thanks, Sarah. I’ve seen a noticeable difference with the amount of flowers since using Uncle Tom’s Rose Tonic this year. I have delphinium in two spots in the garden: one in a very protected area and one that is not so protected. They’re both doing well so far (I’ve only planted them out from pots last year). Fingers crossed they stay happy!
These associations of flowers are really superb. The second group reminds me of the French flag ( blue white red ) 😅 don’t you think?
Ah, yes, it does! I’m actually trying to have some more red flowers so that I can do red, white and blue arrangements (thinking more of my American side!). 🙂
Your roses are splendid as are the other flower that you have picked for your bouquets.
Thank you, Karen. It has been quite a banner year for roses. I’m delighted with how well they’ve done!
