In English:
My photos are from many years. Roses are not flourishing in our garden. The problem is winter, hard winter. We have had many species, but during years they have died. When watching my last photo from the rose called Westerland, my heart bleeds. It was my absolute favorite rose and it lasted only two summers. Sob.
En español:
Hace muchos años que saqué mis fotos. Las rosas no florecen en nuestro jardín. El problema es el invierno, el invierno duro. Hemos tenido muchas especies, pero durante años que pasaban, han muerto. Al ver mi última foto de la rosa llamada Westerland, mi corazón sangra. Era una rosa mi absoluta favorita, pero vivió sólo durante dos veranos.
En francais:
Mes photos sont de nombreuses années. Roses ne sont pas florissantes dans notre jardin. Le problème, c’est l’hiver, l’hiver dur. Nous avons eu de nombreuses espèces, mais au cours des années, elles ont trouvées la mort. Lorsque vous regardez ma dernière photo de la rose appelée Westerland, mon cœur saigne. C’était mon absolue favorie et elle n’a durée que deux étés.

Those are all beautiful, but the last one is clearly my favorite.

Thank You commenting Montucky.
I have been this photo many times when I have made electronic congratulation post card. Every one has liked it and what was best that this rose was from our small garden.

I want to touch the last rose, it is like red velvet! All of your photos are amazing, I can smell the perfume here in Canada!

Hi Jackie.
You are so right, when in flower, there is in the air perfume of roses. Morning coffee on terrace and roses are which are eye candy, they are good combination to start a day.

I love the first orange one!

Hello jpcapit.
Your choice is the newest one from last summer. My wife decided to try once more with roses. All those new we bought last summer are still alive. Now we are waiting for flowers. Thank You commenting.
Comment by sartenada — July 2, 2010 @ 16:24 |
What a lovely, lovely variety of roses. Gorgeous! I love them all and especially the orange roses.
Comment by Anna — July 3, 2010 @ 14:23 |

Good morning, Matti,
welcome back. I looked in between your page and saw no new images. Today I started a new trial and am very impressed by the beautiful roses. Color I liked particularly well, the golden yellow roses, and finally the red rose. All other roses are in color, also very beautiful. I especially like the pictures on which the insects and water droplets can be seen on the flowers. It is too beautiful to admire them all. All roses are beautiful and perfect in reproduction. Your garden is the true glory and the fact you can be proud of. Many years ago I had a garden with beautiful flowers and a garden pond. A garden is not only joy but also a lot of work. But it is a pleasure to take care of him at all that it grows, thrives and blossoms to delight. The winter pictures I also admired. Both seasons are beautiful pictures. I hope you had a great holiday experiences and that you and Anja, are well. e-mail following the weekend. I wish you and Anya all the best and still beautiful days in your beautiful rose garden. I look forward to the next pictures.
Sincerely Christel

Hello Christel.
Thank You for Your kind comment. You are so right, garden is requiring plenty of work. Anja says that when she starts from one corner, then others are crying her to come to take care.
Our car holiday was success, very enjoyable as every time, except one case. We were inspected by customs about 20 kilometers outside Kiel on road after travelling one week. Those people who were in service of customs were very rude against us. I cannot understand it. But, I think that it happens still nowadays although we are living on 21th century. Some training might help to treat old couple who are spending holiday in Germany and not for the first time. Sorry to say this Christel, but this touched us very deeply, we who are friends of Germany.

Bonjour Frammy.
Je vous remercie. Le jardin de fleurs est la fierté de ma femme. J’essaie d’aider à elle aussi bien que je le peux.
Comment by sartenada — October 4, 2010 @ 07:00 |
Wow, the westerland rose is stunning. Talk about vivid red and perfection! I can see why it is your favorite. I also really like #7–the deep, almost orange, yellow is unusual for a rose.
Comment by kateri — July 31, 2011 @ 05:42 |
Hello Kateri.
Thank You for Your visit and nice comment. I had to check that #7 and I like it too. It is yet in our garden although garden is changing.
Happy Sunday!

I can imagine breathing in the fragrance coming from them. Ahhh summer and beautiful flowers. Beautiful photography!
Comment by Rosh — February 28, 2014 @ 01:42 |
Hello Rosh.
All these photos are taken from our previous home where we lived from 1993 to 2012. My wife loved gardening and she tested many flowers. Some died and some continued to live. In addition to roses she loved Azaleas and Rhododendrons. We were the first ones on the area who made hedge made from cultivated willows. During summer it served tfor us a nice coffee corner! 🙂
Thank You comment. Have a lovely day!
Comment by Sartenada — February 28, 2014 @ 08:12 |
I had never seen such a display of roses before!
I love, love, love this post!

Buongiorno Anna.
Thank You for Your comment. I am happy that You loved my wife’s roses in her small garden. Next summer I’ll present more flowers giving the Latin name also that everyone can know what they are.
Buona giornata!

What beautiful Roses, I can almost smell them. Great photos. The Pink one’s look a lot like the Wildrose of Alberta.

Hi Linda.
I am glad That You loved our roses in our small flower garden. Thank You leaving Your comment.
Have a nice day!
Comment by Sartenada — December 18, 2014 @ 10:49 |
You have grown many beautiful roses through the years. In NW USA we have had a particularly mild winter the last few years, that some people say is due to ‘global warming’. Plants that barely survived some harder winters are now thriving. If you are also experiencing any milder winters, perhaps it is time to try planting a rose bush again! Good luck

Hello Susan.
Thank You commenting. We owned our small garden beteween 1993-2012. It situated about 50 km to the north of Helsinki (60° 10′ 15″ N, 24° 56′ 15″ E). Then we sold it and moved to a small town called Mikkeli, which is on our Lakeland area. Maybe next summer I will show flowers we had in our garden.
Happy weekend!
