Roses, Roses, Roses...

Finally, after some failures, new arrivals, and replacements, my thirteen archways in the Hazelnut Orchard are weeded, mulched - and the rose names fully organised. Enjoy!

The unknown rose on Archway Five came with the label Handel. It is definitely not Handel - pity, since 2009 is his anniversary year, and I love his music. Other unknowns were donated roses from a friend's winter garden clean-up. So far they've sulked and refused to flower - time will reveal all. And Lady Hillingdon is hanging on to orchard life by a thread, so to speak...
