ROSE RAMBLER 12.01.2017 …

Happy New Year to you, our dear Rose Friends!  Welcome to a new year of sharing our passion for growing beautiful roses using the most environmentally sustainable methods so that our gardens are a healthy haven for us all!

We hope you’ve enjoyed a lovely time with your family and friends – the weather was perfect for revelling in our Great Australian Outdoors.  We’ve had a lovely rest and are still enjoying more relaxed moments – it’s so beautiful pottering and trimming in the garden during cool evenings – now I’m up in technology isolated Victorian High Country at Cobungra with my lads.  Graham and I promise to forward lots of rose gardening information in weeks to come.

Meantime, keep enjoying the holidays … a quickie joke from Gra …
Q.  How would you fire Santa?  A.  Give him the sack …
and just one more ‘cause I got these out of the bon-bons on Christmas Eve …

Q.  Did you hear about the leopard who had a bath every day?  A.  He was spotless!
Hope you didn’t buy the same pack of bon-bons …

If you see a particular rose which you would like to order for winter, store it in your wishlist on the website! Here are some pics of roses which have been stand-out beauties in the recent hot weather and would be worthy of adding to your wishlist …

GOLD BUNNY
Floribunda rose which sported out to a Climbing rose –
warm yellow, full petalled blooms in abundance over the whole flowering season.

TINTERN
One of the most rewarding roses to grow in almost any location in the garden – it’s a fantastic rose in tubs too! This versatile rose is so stunningly bright and vivacious with orange blooms and a yellow reverse. The shrub is so healthy and so very free-flowering – it produces great hips too! One of the most carefree roses … very highly recommended!

GRA’S BLUE
MULTI-AWARD WINNING modern patio/miniature rose of incredible beauty, fragrance and proven disease-resistance. GRA’S BLUE is hailed by the growers and all those who see it as a true ‘little beauty’.

– yes, it was sold out for a while but we have magnificent plants
available NOW. Positive approach …
