This year [2026] the white Rosa rugosa have done very well, even if a little battered by wind, rain and now baked by the sun !

Crimble Eve, and the last rose bloom of 2025, sadly it didn't last much longer [due to the cold snap]

It is a very faded flower from the "Golden Wedding" owned by friends, given to them as a celebration of their reaching that milestone.

Not a particularly good image of the rugosa hips, but I've used them as a subject previously.

This is the first flower to open on a friend's "Golden Wedding" rose. It was bought for them to celebrate their Golden Wedding anniversary ...

It is a beautiful colour ...

gdn[R/24] - front door rambler

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

As it has been so wet, this climber / rambling rose has had a growth spurt this year [2024] and I'm going to have a fun job of getting it back under control.
It is, I think, "Madame Alfred Carriere" - which was introduced in 1879.
Also, there's some deadwood to prune away and clematis to detach. {plus more work around the door as I've managed to acquire some brambles in with the main clematis stem}.

The first decent bloom for 2024 on the rambler that lives next to the front door.
It is, I think, "Madame Alfred Carriere" - which was introduced in 1879.

I don't know exactly the variety of this rose. It was transplanted in at the beginning of May 2018, after being evicted from a garden in the west midlands, and took some time to get re-established.
It is deeply fragrant, with a ball / open cup double structure. The pink petals seem to have a tinge of yellow or orange, depending on the light.
This makes me think it might be "Abraham Darby" which was introduced in 1985.

gdn[R/21] / wpd[21] - red berry [R.rugosa]

nobody@ipernity.com (StoneRoad2013) — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 20:28:24 +0000

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

A very red and glossy Rosa rugosa berry or rose-hip.

This was my second choice for WPD 2021, I liked the composition and the depth of colour but the lack of leaves to the left seemed to be a fault to me.

gdn[R/21] - rosey bee

StoneRoad2013 has posted:

Rosa rugosa 'alba' with added Bombus lucorum [white-tailed bumble bee].

As happened several times this summer, I heard the distinctive "buzz" of a large bee working in the roses. After some exploring and careful watching I found her in this barely open flower. Just as well I found her when I did, because she flew off after this one, having filled her leg pouches.

gdn[R/21] - simple rose

This is an old variety of, I think, a musk rose. I will try and find the proper ID.

"Marjorie Fair" is my current best guess for this one [July 2021]

My rugosa "hedge" has more white than red bushes. This flower has somewhat elongated petals to the normal style.

Fully open white rugosa flower.
Most of this "hedge" are the white flowered veersion, with only a couple of the red type. Another plant the bees visit frequently.

gdn - white foxglove, and a red rose bush [R/21]

This year (2021) the volunteer foxgloves in my garden included this very white example. I shall attempt to save seeds from it.
My usual crop are the standard purple / pink wild variety. I've a few of those as well.
Many of them will reach just over 6ft (2m) high in their second year.
This one is already over 5ft [21st June] and has more growing to do ...
