A posy for Posy

Beautiful!

I agree with Annella

thanks both of you!

That is a gorgeous Rose Karen! I haven't seen one as dark before, beautiful for November.

Its stunning, Karen!

That rose is straight out of a Dutch Old Master - so beautiful!

Thanks eveyone. Last roses of the summer sad to say. :)

Hi Karen, what is the name of that rose, please? It has beautiful and unusual colour.

It's Munstead Wood Katarina, a David Austin rose.

mnnn. David Austin. Some of his do well in Vermont. The color is absolutely wonderful. That looks a bit like our Laurel? In the Center. Perfect for the Charity open house we have all over everywhere in the summer. And your house too. Thanks, i love it.

:) You're welcome! :) yes, it's Laurustinus, or Viburnum Tinus Posy. Not absolutely fully hardy I'm afraid, it will be knocked back in a hard winter here.

Hi Karen, thank you for the name of the rose. It is wonderful colour, very unusual. Do not worry about Viburnum tinus. We have frosts here mins 25 Celsius for several weeks in the winter and my Viburnum tinus didn´t die. One secret advice - if you have now a lot of fallen leaves (from fruit trees they are the best), then use them as mulch around this Viburnum. I am sure, it will survive :) Good luck.

Thank you Katarina. I have been doing exactly that will fallen leaves and bark chippings! :)

So beautiful Karen

All finished now except the Viburnum and also some of the Cosmos. They have lasted better than I expected! :)
