Hello everyone,
Busy in the garden today. My friend from the Rose society came today and helped me landscape a new planter with ferns, wax begonias and a beautiful Sarah Bernhardt peony.
Today I have some photos of the pergola garden. The lupins are in full bloom and I love them so much. I've wanted to grow lupins for years and this year is the first year I have been successful with Lupins.
'Secret'
This hybrid tea rose has fragrant blooms. Defined in its patents as a bicolor bloom of Naples Yellow and Venetian Pink, in the garden most of these blooms are tricolored, with a tinge at the base of the petals of Naples Yellow that quickly blends to cream and turns to Venetian Pink (or when I was a kid- bubble-gum pink) near the edge of every true tea shaped petal. Amazing -- like a multi-tiered divine pink cake with a lemon butter fillings, and endless butter cream!
'Garden Party'
The color is basically ivory white, turning into cream with a hint of pink as they age. These cool shades look soothing among brighter colored roses, whether they are for a flower arrangement or used for bedding roses in the garden.
It is a very free- flowering rose that repeat blooms all season long. There is a pleasant sweet tea rose fragrance.
'Secret'
The rose is planted next to the lupins.
My favorite Lupins and Secret Rose

Just lovely - I also love lupins!
ReplyDeleteYour roses are gorgeous!!!!! Stunning. Great photos too. Seeing your roses make me wish I had sun to have beautiful roses. I love lupins too. What zone are you in? I don't see lupins around here.
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie,
DeleteThanks for your comment. I live in zone 9. I planted the lupin seeds last fall and I babied the plants all winter. I was so excited to see some blooms appear this year. I've been reading about the care of lupins. After they have finished blooming I will cut the blossoms off and they will bloom again next year. Yay!!!
Sweet♥
It's a lovely garden! I need to add lupins to mine asap! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers Betty!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Betty! I have been enjoying my roses and this year I might add something new like this.
ReplyDeleteSherry
pretty nice blog, following :)
ReplyDeleteI love lupines. I used to have some but lost them all. I should plant some again! The roses look beautiful! I can't wait to see things growing here. So far just daffodils and tulips are on their way up from the ground!
ReplyDeleteHi Betty, I love your roses and your Lupins! You really do have a lovely garden. :) I've seen Lupins planted en masse by the highway in our area, and they make a fantastic show; they really are amazing flowers.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Seasonal Sunday -- have a nice weekend.

Beautiful flowers, Betty! I love the colors of your lupins and roses together. So soft! Your camellias are gorgeous, too. Blessings, Bess
ReplyDeleteYour garden is a delight and I love the Lupin and Roses...HPS (I am still catching up) Michelle
ReplyDeleteYour lupins and roses are gorgeous. I used to have lupins in my garden after seeing them all of Maine. I wonder what happened to them? Time to plant some new ones I think.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your post with Seasonal Sundays.

Would love to have you join Fishtail Cottage's garden party this Thursday! May 1st is the first party of the season! hope you see you! xoxo, tracie
ReplyDeleteMuah! so great to see you over here at the garden party! love your pretty pictures! xoxo, tracie
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your lupins. I've been able to grow them for a year or two when purchased as a flowering plant and then they disappear. A fellow blogger from a maritime province sent me seeds for wild lupins which I planted last fall - and nothing!
ReplyDelete'Secret' rose is the prettiest pink I've ever seen.
Beautiful flowers and I am on the hunt this year for lupines....love the height they give! How do they do as a cut flower do you know?
