Another week for
Ruby Tuesday, and last night I looked around in the garden and behold no
Red. Any way so what I did this morning was with hope beyond hope I had something. I managed a Rose. the others are sort of red in the shades
This is a Chrysler Imperial Rose, a Hybrid- T. One of my favourites. I bought this for my Grandmother 30 years ago. She planted it and it has never moved from that spot. O did she complain about how much I payed for it at the time. Still she always adored it. This I think is the best
red rose of them all
This is a wonderful Peony and it opened up this morning. Still not quite there but close enough. This one is a
Burgundy in Colour. I think it is legal for
Ruby!!!!!!!!
Another wonderful Peony, a pink one. Maybe not truly
red but hehe close enough. I am not even sure what this colour maybe even called. So I say it is
Red!!!
A lovely about to open peony. I really like this picture a lot. Again maybe not a true
red here but close!!!!!
Here is a Morden Rose. They are named after a town south of Winnipeg, Manitoba. They where developed in Morden, Manitoba.. These are truly designed to survive with little hassle to the western conditions of central Canada and the USA. Again not a true
red but it is part of the spectrum!!!!!
This is my first Tiger-lily of the year, just opening up this morning. Here again, a stretch on the colour
red. Still it takes
red to make Orange!!!
I hope every one enjoys this post to-day as much as I enjoy posting for
Ruby Tuesday. I was having fun with the
red to-day so enjoy.
Lovely shots of peonies and tiger lilies! Brilliant colours!

ReplyDeleteMy Ruby Tuesday Link for you
oh sonny! what a gorgeous rose!
ReplyDeleteany money that you spent on it for your gramma has multiplied itself many times over in 30 years of blessings.
for sure and this is a living gift that keeps on blooming year after year and with the first sight of it each year, you remember your gramma!
sonny, in the last few days welland is just bursting with roses!..last year was a bad year and there were so few, so i think that god is giving us an abundance of them this year to make up for last year!
i hope that when your gramma's rosebush is in full bloom that you will post it and dedicate the whole post to that special little lady!
sonny, ruby tuesday includes all kinds of shades of red, so this is ok..all the light reds and the pinks..lovely peonies and that morden rose from our beloved manitoba!

ReplyDeleteNothing beats rubies in the garden! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! Yellow roses are my favorites, but I love red ones, too. And your peonies are truly spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHappy Ruby Tuesday from Joysweb!
That plant has been blooming for thirty years?! My goodness, I can't keep a weed alive for more than thirty minutes. All your flowers are gorgeous, too.

wow very impressing flowers..love them all! thanks for the visit!
ReplyDeleteAmazing flower pictures.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you are keeping your grandmother's garden that well.
I never got the technique of growing roses.
They are to delicate for my rough treatment.
The peonies on the other hand seem to thrive well in our garden.
I will still take some weeks before they'll bloom.
Now I'm waiting for the poppies, the lilacs and rhododendrons, they are all ready to burst.
To me gardening is the most sensible a human can do, and the most rewarding too.
One of my BBF Terry's many relatives, are you?
She's a bit mine as well, my Best Blog Friend.
I'm so fond of her.
I like these all, Reg, but especially the Morden rose and the peony bud.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit!
