As the blooms of 'Belle de Crécy' (Gallica, 1829) fade, they turn a wonderful range of colors, getting very close to purple at times.🌱 #RoseWednesday #roses #heritageroses #zone8b

ROSE WEDNESDAY!!! My favorite day of the week. This one is not mine but the dowager queen winner from the rose show a few years ago. An heirloom Yolande d'aragon from Satish Prabhu. #ARS #americanrose #roses #rosewednesday #🌹 #heritageroses #bloomscrolling #flowerpower

Our co-ops launch party is this Saturday. I'm so excited to sell these heritage roses!!! #utah #roses #heritageroses #bourbonrose #coop #bloomscrolling #flowerpower

I am always looking for fragrant yellow roses- Poet’s Wife still the best for old rose scent but Wollerton Old Hall has a nice anise fragrance. Any others you like? #roseWednesday #DavidAustinroses #heritageroses

In my spare time I also grow Heritage Roses (albeit as a complete beginner). This was the most recent one to bloom for the first time. Rosa Margaret McGredy (Samuel McGredy III before 1925). This was one of the roses used to hybridise the famous Meilland Peace Rose. 🙂 #HeritageRoses #GardenHistory
