Another
Ruby Tuesday, This one is special for me. My favourite Rose of them all is in bloom so here it is
My favourite Rose of them all is named for this Lady, our Queen, the Queen of Canada. If you have not guessed it yet, it is the Queen Elizabeth II Rose and here it is.
I am breaking the rules actually as I did not take this picture of Her Majesty .
If this is not perfection, then I have no idea what is. This rose is stunning. I have shown pics of it in previous entries. It is worth the look.
I just love any rose at this stage. The buds are just beautiful
This is a Dr. Huey Rose. It is an old rose type dating from 1914. Every body that has roses to-day actually have it as it is the root that most roses are grafted to now. I bought this one by it's name so it is not a graft. It is very beautiful.
Here is M. Champlain. He is an Explorer Rose and that series of Roses were designed to with stand the Canadian winters.
Here is Dr. Huey on the close up.
The inner sanctum of the Tiger Lily. I find that this is very beautiful.
And finally this week the
Red Portulaca. A great little flower that was so popular n the past in the annuals garden.
Have a great week every one and enjoy the
Ruby Tuesday. Please check out as many sites as you can. It is wonderful to see so many dedicated posters
Dr Huey is spectacular!Wishing you a Happy Ruby Tuesday!

ReplyDeleteonce over a year ago we met donna over at niagara- on- the- lake.

You have shown us so many lovely red blossoms. Are they all in YOUR garden?
ReplyDeleteEG all flowers and plants here are from my Garden. If I should ever post beyond my yard which I have, I always state it. thanx for the comment and the lovely observation.
ReplyDeleteTerry, Queen Elizabeth II is our Queen, that has not changed what so ever. She will remain so till she dies. I do understand that some people believe that since the constitution that was not the case but it has been entrenched solidly.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the sisterhood blog, I looked it over a lot to-day. She truly seems to be a very nice lady. Better I enjoyed her Blog a lot.
Stunning images all up and down the page! :)
ReplyDeleteIt appears you have a BEAUTIFUL garden.
Thanks for your visit and I'm glad you liked the music. :)
Long Live your Queen! as lovely as the roses ... thanks Terry for dropping by .. On This Side of Town
ReplyDeleteVery pretty roses!
ReplyDeleteYour roses are in great shape. Does rose is hard to maintain? I love asiatic or tiger lily they just multiply each year and they are gorgeous too. Happy tuesday!
ReplyDeleteMy Reds
Very beautiful and lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe last one is known as the Japanese rose here, love all your photos of the flower here! Are they from your garden?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My garden is also in full bloom this year but earlier than previous years. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnne-Marie

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, the scent is penetrating the monitor...I love roses so. That one of the bud is perfect...you can even see the 'web' between the petal and the bud.
ReplyDeleteMy R T is "lady in red"...a portrait of my daughter. Come by and view her if you can find time, I'd love your visit!!
To read that you're 'military' and then to see your roses gives me the feeling that you must be a very well balanced person!
ReplyDeleteRinkly Rimes, you made my day!!!!! I had such a great chuckle over your comment. My friends will tell you I am any thing but balanced!!!! All in fun. That said I have learned to enjoy all aspects of life and care about the little things. I have seen what man does to man and I have learned from it.
ReplyDeleteHi all thanx ever so much to the response to this Ruby Tuesday. I will respond to all at some point threw the day
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful roses! That QE II rose is perfect! I also love portulaca - its colors are so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteHappy Ruby Tuesday!
how wonderful to find your roses! do you know much about climbing roses?
ReplyDeleteand your mention of the Queen, i have been writing about one experience from my life working on the QEII, http://corazon.typepad.com/recuerda_mi_corazon/2010/05/honor.html
it might just touch your heart!
thanks for your visit, and your comment. i see we share a love of mexican folk art, and roses!
Reg, what a lovely colour the Queen Elizabeth ll rose is , simply stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanx ever so much Melanie. It is a truly a beautiful Rose.
ReplyDeleteRebbecca, Thank-you. I have a fairly good idea about them. However the one to make inquires with is Melanie, She has the know how on so much of these things.
ReplyDeleteI visited your site and read your story of the QE2. Just incredible and it did touch me in a wonderful way. I became a follower
Delphyne,m yes I love that Portulaca as well, It is hardly seen any more. A previous visitor stated it is also called Japanese Rose. That to is a wonderful name for it.
ReplyDeleteHOOTIN' ANNI, You should be here on a hot and humid day. The smell is almost over whelming. I did go over and Visit that blog, very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteRobin Than-you,
ReplyDeleteEden, That is one of my favourites as well. Huey is so sturdy and a great survivor.
ReplyDeleteThanx Dave, I appreciate your comment
ReplyDeleteA2Z, absolutely, my gardens are at least two weeks ahead of the norm and maybe even 3 weeks. My Irises are just about finished and they should be just starting.
ReplyDeleteJama, Thank-you for that info on the Japanese Rose, I had known that at one time but I had forgotten, Thanx for reminding.
ReplyDeleteYes all flowers here are from my garden threw out the site. If there is a pic not from my garden I mention that as well.
lazyclick, Thanx for the visit and the comment.
ReplyDeleteManang Kim, Most of my roses are actually very easy to maintain. I have used the types that are very hardy here in Canada, and the nicest part is that most are almost maintenance free. I do have a few Hybrid types as well, They require a lot of time and patients.
ReplyDeleteIowa Gardening Woman, Thank-you for the compliment.
ReplyDeleteVernz, I am a big fan of our Queen, and the rose named for her is deserving. My admiration of the Queen is based on her huge dedication to the people of the 16 nations to which she is Queen.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a Ruby Tuesday post today, but I sure have enjoyed yours! I love roses, and these are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much for exploring my site a bit. That was very kind of you and more so to drop a line my way
ReplyDeletesorry Carletta I forgot to mention your name in the previous comment
ReplyDeletetatess, I love the Tiger Lilies as well. I am a huge fan of Orange
ReplyDeleteLiza, thanx ever so much and also for visiting
ReplyDeleteFelisol, I have more yet to bloom and post. I will have people sick of roses by the time I am threw with them all.
ReplyDeleteNora Johnson, Thank-you for your comment to-day. You where the first of so many. I actually managed to answer them all so far
ReplyDeleteReg,
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you that Queen Elizabeth is THE most beautiful rose! They have long been my favorite!
I loved seeing all your roses and flowers today!
Junie
Thanx JunieRose2005, I have a true love for this rose myself. Thanx for checking my site out to-day
ReplyDeleteSo many comments and so well-deserved! The roses are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI have discovered, through trial and error, that roses do very well in my garden. I have five mini rose bushes and one regular size yellow rosebush now and I'm so excited to continue to expand my rose garden!
I responded to your comment on my RT post but in case you don't make it back there, here is more or less what I said: my fiance and I love Nova Scotia and we are coming up on our third year this summer visiting. Wayne has been dozens of times before we met. It's becoming like a second home to us. Actually, we are Canada fans in general. Also love Montreal.
Thanks for the comment. Have a great week!
wow thanx ever so much. Nova Scotia is my first love, I adore it there but things happened I now live in the Niagara region. Funny you mention Montreal. I adore Montreal and it is my favourite city in the world beyond Halifax. I have a real love for Boston as well except for Hockey and then it is Montreal all the way
ReplyDeleteOutstanding Ruby Tuesday post. Roses are always the right thing to post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Driller's Place and commenting. Glad you liked the boat. It's my favorite toy.
Thanks for stopping by my RT. Isn't it amazing how many different kinds of roses there are! I agree - the Queen's rose is stunningly beautiful. It's so perfect and elegant. Enjoy the day and the roses.
ReplyDeleteDrillerAA09, That boat is just fantastic, I could picture my self on Lake Erie showing of with it. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteLinnea W, I hate to sound like I am bragging but I actually have over 30 roses, Some do much better than others but each is so beautiful in it's own way.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you on the QE II Rose, just amazing
