Roses - Round II

This is the time of year when we get a good second flush of our many roses.
While some roses like Rosa 'Graham Thomas' and Rosa 'Emma Hamilton' go on producing flowers throughout the summer and autumn, some flower in flushes.

A notable cultivar is Rosa 'Windrush'
It has beautiful almost single white flowers, which are quite large, and are produced in flushes over a month or so. The first round this year was at the beginning of June. The second one is just starting. A hard prune after the first flush of flowers results in a second one that's almost as good.

One of my favorites, is a new rose I planted last year - A fairly new David Austin introduction, Rosa 'Lady of Shalott'. It has been slow to get going, probably because it's planted close to a mature Wisteria, but the flowers are lovely, specially when back lit by the evening sun.
