| Meaning of Roses of different colors | | 2008-05-30 22:55:50 | | Rose is the obvious answer when it comes to giving gift for someone.

| ThankU for the roses! They were very pretty. | | 2008-02-17 05:50:00 | | All of that started almost a year earlier. We had been in the same college. I was two years senior to her. Even though we were exchanging text messages for almost a month then, that was the first time I called her on her cell phone. “Hi, when is your birthday?†I asked her. “I was just updating my contact book.†“Oh, my birthday was just a few days back, you are late.†She replied coyly. “Won’t you will have a birthday next year,†I persisted. So she told me her birth date and I hung the phone. A lot of things had happened between us in the next eleven months. The first seven months were great but the last four months were like hell for me. We had not talked even once during those four months of our estranged relationship. But I still believed, after all its not whether love takes you to hell or to heaven, important thing is that you are transformed by it. I was not sure, if I should call her to wish ‘Happy Birthday’. I had two days to decide. It was Saturda | | By: Writers Blend - The Intellectual Mindscape [RSS] | | |

Did you buy something for your partner? Flowers? No? My friend Karen from Waterleaner bought a mouse for her beloved hubby... I wonder if you buy something special for your pet as well.. hahaha.. why not? You love them as well I am sure!I have some friends who often buy quality gifts at cheap prices with Internet coupons for RedEnvelope.com, Things Remembered and Hammacher Schlemmer. Don't you love living in this internet era? We can get anything easily we want right in front of our door! Yes, we are not supposed to want everything instantly because that's not good at all.

| Valentine’s Day Roses | | 2008-02-14 08:50:00 | | Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!This one is 'Julia Child'I found some old rose photos that I hadn’t gone through before, mainly since they were not marked with names. So for Valentine’s Day I mustered up half a dozen digital rose pictures. There was a rose festival on this blog that started on September 30, 2007 and continued for several days in October if you would like to see some named roses.Molly is home and doing as well as expected. I have my hands full with helping her so I won’t be saying much here over the next couple of days. There is a long road of recovery ahead and we are certainly not out of the woods yet. It has been worth it so far to have a few more days with a trusted and faithful friend. Thanks for the emails and comments of support, that really meant a lot to me.This probably adds up to a couple of dozen roses. I think this is 'Eureka' | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

| English roses on Sunset Boulevard | | 2007-11-07 02:09:25 | | IIPM MANAGEMENT INSTITUTEPirates and Mossgate: A tale of two Ks!Two British beauties – one who has ‘bent’ it in style in the UK movie scene and consequently Hollywood, and the other Moss who has gathered a few dazzling stones as she has rolled along in her ‘super’ modelling career. Together they represent the new wave of dazzling British celebrities and are proudly at the forefront as the most recognizable faces of that clique. We, if you have ignored the hints till now, are talking about Keira Knightley and Kate Moss. Kate Moss represented the new wave of super-models and was known almost as much for her pencil-thin figure as her drop-dead gorgeous looks. A face that has been worthy enough to launch the thousands of campaigns and dozens of top notch brands that it has, Kate started her career in 1988, when she was discovered by the founder of Storm Model Management at the JFK Airport!At that time Keira was still a kid with severe problems in reading and writing (though officially never classified dyslexic), but that did not stop her from asking forher own agent at the ripe age of three! She overcame her limitations with enormous effort and took up acting on the side. Perhaps acting was in her genes, after all actor Will Knightley and playwright Sharman Macdonald are her parents! She got her wish of an own agent as she turned six and did small roles on TV and a few movies (mostly in her summer holidays).Meanwhile, Kate catapulted to the status of a super-model and walked the ramps of the fashion capitals of the world. Her weight, or the suspected lack of it (“I am not anorexic,” she always maintained) made her almost an anti-supermodel, contrary to the curvaceous look that the others (like Cindy Crawford, Caludia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell) carried.Keira was first noticed as the British friend helping a girl of Indian origin realize her dream of playing football in Parminder Nagra’s sleeper hit Bend It Like Beckham.

| 2007 Rose Festival ~ Day Three ~ Grandflora Roses | | 2007-10-02 12:21:49 | | Grandiflora Rose 'Tournament of Roses'2007 Rose Festival ~ Day ThreeGrandflora RosesThe Rose Festival continues with Tournament of Roses a Grandiflora rose that is named after the huge New Years Day celebration in Pasadena, California. Here is a link to the Official website which has a lot of information on the festivities:click hereFrom the history page:“The first Tournament of Roses was staged in 1890 by members of Pasadena's Valley Hunt Club, former residents of the East and Midwest eager to showcase their new home's mild winter weather.""In New York, people are buried in snow," announced Professor Charles F. Holder at a Club meeting. "Here our flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear. Let's hold a festival to tell the world about our paradise."I have always wanted to attend the party. I guess some people want to go to the World Series or the Super Bowl but I want to go to the Tournament of Roses. That is like those two events rolled into one. Someday I will get out there but since it requires traveling over the holidays I will have to convince my wife to go. I entered the sweepstakes to win a free trip but I know those are mostly to get my name and address to spam me.Grandiflora Rose 'Tournament of Roses'About the rose. This is another William Warriner/ Jackson and Perkins introduction. I seem to be typing that a lot lately. It is a lovely pink double flowered rose that doesn’t grow too tall (3-4 feet, in my garden). There is really not a fragrance to speak of. It won the AARS award in 1989, the year after its introduction. One other note about this rose, when the Montreal Botanical Garden did a study on Black Spot, Rust and Powdery Mildew Tournament of Roses showed a 0-5% infection rate, one of the best.Petal Count: 17-25Parentage: Impatient × SeedlingSynonyms: JACient, Jackson & Perkins Rose PoesieAnother Grandiflora from ‘my’ garden is this beautiful white rose called ‘White Lightnin’. It is a relatively small rose but it has a nice pure color to it. It has kind of a lemony-citrus smell to it. This rose was bred by Jack E. Christensen and introduced by Armstrong Roses. It turns out Mr. Christensen has a website:List of Christensen RosesYou’ll see he has bred some beauties!and his Home Page:Jack Christensen Home PageJack Christensen's Grandiflora rose ‘White Lightnin’Parentage: Angel Face × MistySynonyms: AROwhifJust a quick word about Grandiflora roses. They are descendants of Hybrid Teas and Floribunda roses. The often have the long stems, large flowers and bud shapes of the Hybrid Teas and bloom one to a stem or in clusters like a Floribunda. This class of roses was started for the rose ‘Queen Elizabeth’ in 1954 and that is still the most popular variety of this type.Group shot of Grandiflora Rose 'Queen Elizabeth''Queen Elizabeth'Origin: Dr. Walter Lammerts, 1954, USPetal Count: 38Parentage: Charlotte Armstrong × FloradoraFragrance: MildSynonyms: Queen of England, The Queen Elizabeth RoseThis rose was bred to mark Elizabeth Alexandra Mary’s ascension to the British throne in 1952.This is a cool USDA Zone finder by Zip Code I found at the Jackson and Perkins site:Zone Finder by Zip Code (US only) | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

| 2007 Festival of Roses ~ Grand Opening | | 2007-10-01 11:34:57 | | 2008 All-American Rose Selection Grandiflora rose 'Dream Come True' 2007 Festival of Roses ~ Grand OpeningDigital Flower Pictures.comTo officially kick off our Festival of Roses I have decided to feature the two All-American Rose Selections for 2008. I am sure it appears I am fascinated with the AARS winners and with my project to photograph all the winners since 1938 maybe I am. These two winners of the Class of 2008 represent a trend in rose growing to the almost over the top color blends. In the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden there is an area where they plant the AARS winners for the following year and I was looking for the 2008 winners and found ‘Dream Come True’ and 'Mardi Gras’. I kept my eyes open for more winners but later found out only two roses were selected. So I got both of them.‘Dream Come True’ is a nice blend of yellow and red. It was hybridized by Dr. John Pottschmidt of Cinncinati, Ohio and introduced by Weeks Roses. Dr. Pottschmidt is only the third amateur rose breeder to win the AARS award. It is an eye-catching rose and I like the layers that the flower has. It seemed to grow on a fairly compact bush and the group had a lot of flowers.Photo showing the complex color blending on 'Dream Come True'Some specifics on ‘Dream Come True’:Type: GrandifloraPetal Count: 26-40Parentage: Touch of Class x Unknown SeedlingFragrance: MildSynonyms: WekdocpotThe other AARS winner I photographed on Saturday was ‘Mardi Gras’. Again the plot of this rose was thriving and producing a lot of flowers. They seem a bit more variable than than ‘Dream Come True’. It has a beautiful blend of colors and also grows on compact plants.Floribunda rose 'Mardi Gras'Type: FloribundaPetal Count: 17-35Parentage: Arofres × Singin' in the RainFragrance: MildSynonyms: JacfrainBreeder: Dr. Keith Zary, United StatesIntroduction: Jackson and Perkins'Mardi Gras' reaches 3 feet in height making it good for planting in mixed perennial borders.The following information is from the AARS website, www.rose.org“AARS operates the world’s most rigorous plant trial program via a network of more than 20 official test gardens throughout the country and representing all climate zones. This sophisticated evaluation process results in a new crop of AARS winning roses each year, guaranteeing that only the best make it into your garden. AARS strives to identify roses that are easy to grow, and evaluates plants on more than 15 qualities, including disease resistance, vigor and fragrance.”The 15 qualities of evaluation are:1. Vigor2.

| Festival of Roses | | 2007-09-30 03:35:44 | | Hybrid Tea Rose 'Folklore'Digital Flower Pictures.com's 2007 Festival of RosesToday I went to the Bronx and visited the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden. The garden was so loaded with flowers as I walked down the stairs I thought it looked like a Rose Festival. That is when the idea came to me to have a Rose Festival on this blog. For the next seven days each post will feature one to several roses.Since my friend Ki at plants and rocks.blog is pretty much posting all the flowers that bloom now in the North Temperate Zone from his great garden I figured it was a good time to just concentrate on roses. I got a lot of good pictures in New York even though I was battling bright sun and a 20 mile per hour gusty wind and I still have some pictures from the Rose Gardens I am tending and the FDR and Vanderbilt gardens, so that should be enough pictures to cover it. Some of the flowers may have already been covered by this blog, however, these will be all new photos taken within the last two weeks.So without further fanfare or fanfaronade here is a sneak peak at the Official Digital Flower Pictures.com 2007 Festival of Roses.This is this rose that I went to photograph. The last time I was at the NYBG this rose really captivated me. Unfortunately the pictures I took of ‘Folklore’ didn’t come out very well. That made it the first on my list this time. My heart sank a little when I first looked at the patch of ‘Folklore’ and then I saw this flower kind of inside the taller growth and spent blooms. I wish I had used a tiny bit more Depth of Field but this is what I came up with. I am a sucker for roses of this color.I did manage to find this single flower of ‘Folklore’ on the edge of all the plants. I like the compact shape of the flower even after it opens. It really is a classic rose in all respects, shape, smell, color and size. This rose seems to get very tall, up to 8 feet, so plant it in the rear of the garden.Here are some quick facts on Folklore:Type: Hybrid TeaPetal Count: 50Fragrance: Yes, StrongParentage: Fragrant Cloud x SeedlingOrigin: Germany/W.

| Half a Dozen Roses | | 2007-09-27 12:26:13 | | Hybrid Tea Rose 'Brigadoon'Half a Dozen RosesThe rose garden at the farm is coming along nicely and I decided to take some pictures over there. I was joking with my co-workers that I was the ‘Head Rose Grower’ at the farm. I reality I guess I am but I am also the only rose grower. I inherited all of the varieties in the garden. In a way that was helpful as I am growing a lot of roses I would have never chosen due to my own prejudices and previous bad experiences with some varieties and types. I probably would also have been worried a lot about colors. Instead I have this huge mix of varieties and colors that I wouldn’t have dreamed up on my own. I think there is a little lesson in there for me. Since there is room for about 35 more roses I will have to keep this mind when picking out the new roses.Starting out with one of my favorites, and that is always subject to change, a beautiful pink blend (really hard to describe how beautiful the color is) Hybrid Tea Rose. Bred by William Warriner in 1991 and introduced by Jackson and Perkins in 1992. This rose has a petal count of 30-40 petals and a nice fragrance. It was an All-American Rose Selection in 1992.Parentage: Seedling x PristineHeight: 3 feetSynonyms: JACpalMoving on, there are several white roses in the garden. White Lighting and Moondance have both been good performers. This one, Pascali, is a small flowered Hybrid Tea. I don’t know if my bush is producing small flowers or that is the way the rose truly is. The Lens family bred this rose in Belgium in 1963. It was a 1969 All-American Rose Selection.Hybrid Tea Rose 'Pascali'Fragrance: NoneParentage: Queen Elizabeth × White ButterflyHeight: 30 inchesSynonyms: Blanche Pasca, LENipHere is another white one, although it is technically a white blend. ‘White Delight’ is also a Hybrid Tea rose and another one bred by William Warriner. I couldn’t find a lot of information on this rose other than the temperature has a lot to do with the color of the flowers.Hybrid Tea Roae 'White Delight'Fragrance: MildParentage: White Masterpiece × FuturaSynonyms: JACglowI posted a rose named ‘Molly Mc Greedy’ a little while back that looked very similar to this rose. I think the color is a little darker and the buds are more pointed on this one, but the color scheme is close. How could you not love a rose named ‘Love’? This is another William Warriner and Jackson and Perkins introduction (am I sensing an unintentional theme here with the Warriner roses?). It is a very beautiful disease resistant and heavy blooming rose. It won the AARS award in 1980 and also won a Gold Metal at the Portland Rose Trials that same year.Grandiflora Rose 'Love'Type: GrandifloraFragrance: StrongParentage: Seedling × RedgoldPetal Count: 30-35Synonyms: JACtwin, 71-5324In the large flowered category we have the apricot blend Floribunda ‘Honey Perfume’. This rose was also an All-American Rose Selection (2004). It is (in my garden) a tall plant that’s has had continuous blooms in large clusters. It has a very strong pleasant fragrance and the flowers are a beautiful color. It has shown good disease resistance so far. Although also introduced by J&P, it was bred by Dr. Keith Zary.Floribunda Rose ‘Honey Perfume’Parentage: Seedling × Amber QueenPetal Count: 25-40Height: 42 inchesSynonyms: JACarqueFinally, I feel a bit like I am running a marathon here, is a rose that I said I didn’t really care for previously. However, upon further review I think, 'Scentimental' is unique and beautiful. It has a bit of whimsy and that isn’t a bad thing in the garden (in moderation). It is a Floribunda and considered a red blend, striped rose. It has a strong fragrance and fairly large flowers. Each of the flowers has a different pattern so that is kind of fun. This was the first striped rose to win the AARS award (1997). Bred by Tom Carruth for Weeks roses it was introduced in the United States in 1997. For more information on Mr. Carruth there is an article in this post:click here. There is a link to more information about the AARS awards if you are not familiar with them.Floribunda Rose 'Scentimental'Parentage: Playboy × Peppermint TwistPetal Count: 25-36Height: 48 inchesSynonyms: Scentimental Sunflor, WEKplapepThat’s all I have time for right now. If anybody has been growing any of these roses please post a comment. I would be happy to hear of your experiences. | | By: Digital Flower Pictures.com | | |

I appropriated them for a short time for some photos.The spiral pattern you get with the opening petals is quite cool to look at, but - even better - they seem to have their own inner light making the centre brighter, which I can't explain. This can be seen especially well in the image below but the photo on the right is my favourite.

Sia chiaro che i Guns sono indubbiamente una delle band che hanno fatto la storia, guidando la scena street metal di Los Angeles dalla metà del 1985 e poi con un cd, l' anno successivo, senza pari: "Appetite for Destruction" seguito, qualche anno dopo dagli altrettanto fortunati "Use your Illusion".Sta di fatto però che è incredibile il numero di date fasulle del rilascio di Chinese Democracy: sembra che ognuno si sia divertito a sparare la sua al riguardo, senza contare che magari milioni di fans ci credevano per davvero; le ultime due soffiate sono state il 21 novembre del 2006, dopod | | By: On The Rock | | |

| The Origin of Flowers and Roses | | 2007-07-11 06:51:50 | | I wanted to know the origin of flowers and plants. This made me browse through some sites. Then i came upon a site where i could find my answer. I wanted to share those facts here.
There is a zeal in every botanist to know the details of the fossils of his interest, i.e., plants and flowers. This zeal made people to discover, and put forward the information about the oldest known fossils of the world.
According to scientists, Mosses were the first plants to emerge on land some 425 million years ago, followed by firs, ginkgoes, conifers and several other varieties. And fossil record says that flowering plants abruptly appeared out of nowhere about 130 million years ago.
The still unanswered questions are, Where did they come from, and how could they have evolved so suddenly without any transitional fossil links to other ancient plant species? This mystery remains a puzzle and refered as "An abominable mystery" by 19th-century naturalist Charles Darwin.

Here is an except from the history of the Rose Garden:“In June 1928, the Cranford Rose Garden celebrated the grand opening of what has become one of the largest and finest rose gardens in this country. It was designed by Harold Caparn, a landscape architect for Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Montague Free, the Garden's horticulturist. Caparn had drawn the plans several years earlier, at the request of Stuart Gager, the first director of BBG.â€Full History.

| Old Westbury David Austin Roses | | 2007-06-26 11:36:00 | | As I said yesterday Old Westbury Gardens had some interesting David Austin Roses. This was one of them. It doesn’t really show it in this picture but ‘Benjamin Britten’ is a real deep red with a touch of orange as the flower ages. It shows the red but not really the orange highlights. This rose has a great fragrance and a flower that has a deep cup. The plants had nice foliage and were in heavy bloom. Introduced in 2001 by David Austin with a varietal name of AUSencart. Named after the famous English composer, conductor and pianist Benjamin Britten.This one is Graham Thomas. Named after the British hortculturist Graham Stuart Thomas. It is one of the nicest yellow roses I have ever seen. It has such a deep and warm color when in bud. It can be used as a climber but these were being grown as a shrub rose.

| Miniature Roses | | 2007-06-14 12:03:00 | | Miniature RoseI am not sure which variety of miniature rose this is. About 15 years ago I bought about 50 mini roses and the tags have long since gone missing, as did some of the roses. Quite a few have survived and even thrived. I had my camera at work yesterday but only managed to take this picture, as the light wasn’t great. As a matter of fact it rained most of the day and was a like a typical English summer day. This rose was only 6 inches tall so rather than get down of the wet ground to take its picture I plucked a few flowers and set them on the stone. I was hoping things at work would calm down but it doesn’t look that way now. Everything is getting an extra spurt of growth with this rain and cool temperatures so I have had to run around and do some pruning to keep the walks and paths open. I went to another garden I take care of and it needs a lot of work, as things have again gotten overgrown. The more you prune things the more that encourages them to grow.
