Oct. 20-24, Bay area SFO: what'll be blooming?
Comments (7)Most all kinds of roses bloom around here in late Oct, except the "once blooming" ones, and this year some of THOSE are blooming now, so who knows? We had a really cool summer for us - the roses love it. Most of my roses put out some bloom in Oct, Nov, and Dec - we really have a 12 month season. My old tea roses, in particular, love October, but so do many of the HTs. So, I would check out the gardens noted above. Also, if you can get up to Sacramento (depending on where you are in the East Bay, it might be even closer than San Jose), be sure to go to the Sacramento Historic Cemetery Old Rose Garden - it is amazing. They have planted old roses rescued from all over No Cal there, among the historic grave stones. By October Sacramento will have cooled down to livable temperatures for humans. Hope you enjoy your trip! Jackie...See MoreJust a few more early blooms.
Comments (7)Here's a few more that were open this morning: another blossom of Soleil d'Or Its parent Persian Yellow, which was rather hard to photograph--the petals kept reflecting too much light. another of Persian Yellow's decendents, Harrison's Yellow. Looks quite similar doesn't it? Actually Persian Yellow's blooms are a bit larger. Stanwell Perpetual is very chlorotic this year, so much so that its blooms are white instead of pink. Its actually going to a new home later today, hopefully it will be happier there. Reine des violettes is not looking so violet--I guess is got too hot too quickly to see the really purple blooms it had last autumn. and one more blossom from the Rosa santa Richards not Andrews band befoe I remove it and the rest of the buds and give it a chance to grow. This blossom shows off a bit more of its pink tint than the last post did. I had a few more blooms, but the one of my very favorite rose, Geranium Red, was looking rather battered and I refuse to photograph him looking less than his best. But oh, the fragrance!! Speaking of which, I've always heard Persian Yellow and Harison's Yellow had very bad fragrances, but I found them mild and pleasant....See MoreEarly Summer Jade Updates, and a Few Others

Comments (8)Even though December is statistically the coldest month ever-blooming roses are often still out at Christmas here, with January being about the only time of the year when roses don't seem to be doing anything - I've had problems with rooting rose cuttings in the ground and then never getting them transplanted because they were in leaf most of the time. Spring for roses here is Feb. In fact a local weather professor says spring in general for us is Feb-Jul, with the annual summer warming and drying not fully overcoming the lingering winter wetness until Jul....See More- 23 days ago
