Red Roses

 Summer, red roses are blooming. Some gardeners consider red roses to be a bit of a hackneyed symbol of love. But if you look at the plant, how it diligently opens its buds, how it withstands wind and rain, you can say that the red rose is a very resilient plant. 

 



 

It is believed that one red rose is a romantic symbol of love. This is a more discreet way to express your love for someone. Roses with red buds can be found among hybrid tea roses to floribunda, climbing and bush roses - these best varieties are distinguished by bright red flowers, captivating aroma and versatility. For example, the Flamentanz rose (above) winters well, blooms in June - July.

 

 

My other red roses are quite unpretentious, they can withstand winter frosts and snowdrifts. The bushes are low, completely covered with snow in winter and tolerate frosts very well. In spring, you have to cut off dried branches, but new shoots quickly grow in their place.


 


The last photos show a red-carrot rose. After the winter it was very weak, in June it had 4 branches and blossomed. The flowers are an unusual color, they smell wonderful. 



Do you love red roses? What red roses do you have in your place?

  1. Deine roten Rosen schauen wundervoll aus, liebe Nadezda. Genieße ihre herrliche Blütenpracht, ich hatte mal eine rote im Terrassenbeet, sie gibt es aber leider nicht mehr.

    Einen sonnigen Sonntag
    wünscht Dir

  2. Your roses looks fantastic, Nadezda. I have very few red roses. One of them is 'Munstead Wood' from Austin roses.

  3. Your roses are fabulous, Nadezda. Summer is drawing to a close now and the nights are already starting to get longer, so it’s especially wonderful to have this burst of colour. Very best wishes - David

    1. You are right, David, the nights are getting longer, the sun is not as high as in June. Red roses add bright colors to the days.

  7. Las rosas rojas me gustan mucho, las tuyas son preciosas. Yo tengo varias en el jardín, pero ahora mismo no están nada bien, hace muchísimo calor y están sufriendo, aunque las regamos mucho. Besos.

    1. Claro que las rosas no toleran bien el calor, Teresa. Suelo regarlas en los días calurosos. Hace más calor en tu ciudad que en la nuestra :(

  8. Dear Nadezda!
    Your rose bushes are beautiful. Summer is slowly ending, but the African heat is still present. Our plants in the gardens are tired of water and rain.
    I wish you a happy week.

    1. I agree, Lucia, there is a lot of rainwater every day. The poor roses don't have time to dry.

  9. Che belle rose! Qui purtroppo è un pessimo anno per le rose perchè il nuovo coleottero giapponese sta facendo una strage (Popilia japonica). Gli altri anni si è diffusa in Italia del nord ma quest'anno l'invasione è arrivata anche qui nella Svizzera del sud. Spero che l'anno prossimo non aumentino ancora perchè i danni sono notevoli.

    Un abbraccio.

    1. Orribile, Gabriel. Non sapevo di questo coleottero. Mi dispiace tanto per le tue rose! Spero che ci sia un rimedio per combatterlo.
