2009 Moosey Roses Calendar

I produced two Moosey Roses Calendars in 2009, and here they are ready for recycling - when the days and dates match up again! And of course, like all my other Moosey calendars, they are free to download.

This first calendar features all home-grown roses. I had fun choosing my favourite rose photographs - but which beauties to leave out? There was no subtle air-brushing to remove black spot off the leaves, either.

Roses arrive in my garden all the time, often rescued when friends dig them out. Others come from bare-root rose packets suffocating in the supermarket. And I'm trying to collect all of David Austin's English roses - his pastel beauties grow really well in New Zealand garden conditions. Must be that brilliant Southern Hemsphere summer sunshine!

2009 Moosey Roses-1 Calendar (PDF 4.00 MB)

The 2009 Moosey Roses-1 Calendar has one image and one month's dates per page. These are great for printing off one at a time and pinning up on the kitchen noticeboard.

You'll see the file size by the PDF icons. It's best to right click and save your calendar somewhere sensible. You might even have time to make a cup of coffee and pull out a few weeds if you don't have broadband! Ouch!

More Roses

For the second Moosey Roses Calendar I went further afield than the confines of my own shrubby rose garden to choose the images. You'll enjoy the luscious colours of Sam McGredy's hybrid teas, photographed in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens.

But I couldn't resist the home-grown Rhapsody in Blue and several of my beautiful anonymous pink roses. In fact, it gets more and more difficult choosing which roses to leave out! Hmm... Ten rose calendars later...

Christmas Presents

Like my other original calendars, the 2009 Moosey Roses-2 Calendar was produced as a Christmas present for a gardening friend. She asked for pictures of hybrid teas. She also didn't want any of the roses named - she's had fun all year trying to guess which is what!
