Today I have a rose for you that I grew in my previous garden in San Diego: William Shakespeare 2000. This gem was once very hyped by David Austin Roses as one of their most beautiful red roses and I agree, but only about a decade later it almost seems to be forgotten, a faith that sadly happens to many wonderful roses. In my opinion William Shakespeare 2000 deserves its place in the gardens of the world. The beauty of his large, velvety, crimson red (their color is a little darker than my camera was able to capture), very full, cupped, quartered blooms speaks for itself. On top of that, they also come with a lovely strong old rose fragrance. Do you remember William Shakespeare 2000? Do you grow one of these forgotten roses in your garden? A rose that is now rare or maybe even out of commerce? Please share, so that we all can rediscover and get reminded of these rose jewels that got thrown out of the limelight in the course of time. I want to end by saying that I continue to stand with the people of Ukraine. Their situation gets worth by the day. This unbelievable cruel war that brings so much suffering to so many needs to end. 🇺🇦💛💙💔🕊🌻 #organicgardendreams #rose #roses #redrose #redroses #williamshakespeare2000 #williamshakespeare2000rose #englishroses #davidaustinroses #forgottenroses #flowerphotography #fortheloveofroses #roselover #roselovers #organicrosegrower #rosephotography #rosegrowing #growingroses #beautifulrose #beautifulroses #rosesofinstagram #instaroses #fortheloveofroses #rosebloom #roseflower #roseconnoisseur #bloom #flower #gardening #rosegardening (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CauoFuruxDp/?utm_medium=tumblr

It is a little past the middle of winter and I am missing the rose blooms. Here in Austin, where my husband and I chose to live, we truly have four seasons, even though we didn’t have any snow yet this year, we did have substantial frosts and nature is resting. My garden is predominantly green and brown and except pansies I don’t have anything else flowering at the moment. So the joy when the roses start to bloom again will be great, that is for sure. In the moment I just revel in the anticipation of this years rose season to come and pass the time by digging out old photos like this one. Unfortunately, I don’t know the name of this beauty but I am fascinated by the quartered bloom form which leads me to believe that this is an Old Garden Rose (if you have any idea what rose variety this could be, please let me know in the comments!). I also love the many subtle shades of pink appearing in just this one bloom. The complexity of this rose flower is quite fascinating to me! Are you also dreaming of the upcoming rose season? Wishing you a lovely Tuesday! #organicgardendreams #rose #roses #pinkrose #pinkroses #rosebloom #roseflower #roseflowers #pink #gardening #missingtheroses #dreamingofspring #dreamingofsummer #rosegrowing #quarteredbloom #quarteredbloomform #flowers #flower #bloom #blooms #flowerphotography #flowersofinstagram #flowerpower #roselover #roselovers #fortheloveofroses #rosesofinstagram #rosestagram #rosephotography #roseconnoisseur (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZJ2Yy-OrP9/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ah yes, she's dropped another Rose photo zzzzz 🌹This big beauty is plucked from an ancient bush left behind by the previous owners. I've no idea of its name or breed but I invariably call it #@%$ , as it seems intent on ripping me to shreds every time I try to negotiate my way 'round it with the lawnmower! 😤 🌸Having some great fun with springtime snaps this year, ditching the DSLR and having a fling with the smartphone camera instead. If you haven't explored this as a serious option 'til now, I highly recommend it..📷🤳🏻 . . . . . . #restorasnap #remembrancerose #rose #rosegrowing #gardenlover #bouquet #oldfashionedroses #whatroseisthis #attackofthekillerrosebush #helpwithroses #doireallyneedanotherhobby #smartphonevsdslr #cameraphone smart #springroses #photographyforbeginners #rosesforremembrance #loveroses #aquawall #hotpink #summerstyle #familylove #familytree #genealogy #plantroses #memorialroses #memento #smartphonephotography #smartphonephotographytips (at Sydney, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGhnneYJwow/?igshid=t87vi774iuem
