No snow in sight as could have been expected. Only strong wind with a temperature around 5 degrees Centigrade. Not that I miss the snow, but I think the plants in my garden are wondering which season it is. Bulbs are starting to show and what will happen to them if snow and cold weather arrive, I simply don't know.
Although our garden in moderate in size, it holds around 70 rose bushes - I love roses! Especially rugosa and moss hybrids. We also have some trees and other bushes, along
with lots and lots of perennials and annuals...I couldn't live without my garden! (And my family, of course...)
The part of our house that I love the most is our verandah. We installed heating in December and seedlings and tropical plants are thriving out there. (I do too, when I sit there, basking in the sun, with a cup of tea overlooking my plants.)
This is my first entry on this blogspot. I've decided to write in English. I spent a couple of years in England when I was young, and I love the language and would like to keep it up.I have another blog too, where I use my native Swedish tongue. I started it this autumn. You can find it here:
rosor och ris
In this entry I've shown some of my whitish roses. They
are from top to bottom: Morden Snowrise, Bland Double de Coubert, Schneekoppe and Jacqueline du Pré.That was all for today. Next time I'll show you some more photos of my greatest hobby: my plants and my garden.
Cheers! /Katarina

Hello Katarina,

Congratulations on starting your new blog. I like your roses; I don't have any of them. I want to plant the Blanc Double de Coubert. Do you find that it is a good repeat bloomer? I've heard mixed reviews.
heirloom gardener: Yes, I think it's a good repeat bloomer, although it's not a continuous bloomer. At least not here in our climate. It's a lovely rose...

katarina Kinnah...behövs egentligen kommentarer....så uuuuunderbart...!!!! Du har rosor som jag bara måste ha.... Kanske vi skulle byta lite rötter...:) Har du också två bloggar nu??? :) Men du har en hemsida också...och det har inte jag... ;) Kram Annie
Thanks for visiting my blog! Your roses are all so lovely. I don't grow any, so I always enjoy seeing them in other gardens. Your missing snow? I've got it, here in Northern Illnois. I was wondering whose snow we were getting buried under.
