La Vie en Rose

 


I could easily say that my life is like La Vie en Rose,
because the Hurdal rose - Norwegian rose Hurdal blooms already abundantly
and looks stunning! It is an Alba hybrid, very high, about 4 m which makes it challenging
to photograph - it blooms high against the blue sky! Hurdal is inmensely vigorous,
almost thornless & has mild fragrance - and needs no care whatsoever.
I only cut away dry older branches. Dag Lyngar from Norway reports:

'Hurdalsrosen is perhaps the biggest alba in the World. It's believed that this rose came from the Giessen area in the south of Germany. But this rose doesn't any longer exist there. In Norway it is one of our most common roses. Hurdalen is a nice valley in Norway and the rose was brought to Norway about 150 years ago with a young seaman who fell in love with the young daughter of the priest in the valley Hurdalen.'






Also Rosa glauca roses have started to bloom. They are also high and large and grow near 
the borders of our property. Dart’s Defender is in bloom as well, still some Rosa rugosas to come.
Physocarpus opulifolius ’Dart’s Gold’ is beautifully in bloom as well.

Green & Rainy Weekend

It is raining cats and dogs - today and tomorrow!
I don't want to go out at all, I am pissed off.
From July archives some lime green photos for Mascha's

Green Weekend

This large steel planter sits on my old garden Singer.
Every spring I search sprouts of this lime Lysimachia mummularia from the garden and plant it here. I like the color.
An autumn look a few years back
A photo early this summer, Lysimachia mummularia starting to grow...
I am a bit disappointed with that lilac Osteospermum, it stays funny looking...



Lime colored Spiraea japonica makes a good contrast with blue Tradescantia x Andersonii
Lime colored Physocarpus opulifolius is a nice bush in dark corners
I so wish you have more sun than Finland!
