REINE DES VIOLETTES

Your ZD & RdV look great!
They appear to be off to a terrific start.
I got a kick out of you saying " I'm not bragging". People are allowed to "brag" about two things ... their kids and their roses!
Thanks for sharing these beauties with us.

Brag away, Sara, they're beautiful!

Thank you Randy and Seil. It is a shame that with my lack of expertise in photography I can't capture the true beauty of these roses. Maybe it's the way the sun is hitting Reine des Violettes, it's beauty is breathtaking. Yes, I suppose I am bragging, I'm sure I will continue.

Sara-Ann, for second-year roses these are wonderful and you should be bragging. I have a fairly new Reine de Violettes and love seeing your picture. Mine has only had one bloom and I can see from your picture what I have to look forward to.

Hope to see many more pictures!

I got all the roses you mentioned this year as bare roots and will be excited as you if they looked like that next year..

Please keep bragging :)

Ingrid - Thank you so much, I hope yours does good. Thank you, SCG, I wish you the same with your roses. I really appreciate the nice comments.

ZD always puts on a great spring show. And the fragrance can fill a whole yard.

Reine des Violettes is really purple. It is more beautiful than I ever dreamed it would be, I love it!

ZD really started more blooming today.

ZD was the first of the OGRs we received at our house. She can really take a good cutting back after the bloom season, too!
I also have RDV to put in the ground nearby. Its a replacement for the one that was inadvertently yanked out in a weeding frenzy... Yeah, I was as mad about it as you can imagine...
