Three eras of crimson roses..

At home in the rose garden.

There are 4 in this collage, but they cover 3 eras in rose growing.

Beginning with Slaters Crimson China, from the old world, and mixed with
European roses to eventually arrive at the roses we grow today. [bottom]

Mme Isaac Pereire - a Bourbon rose from 1881. [centre]
General Gallieni - a Tea rose from 1899 [top]

The modern Hybrid Tea rose, Dark Desire. [centre left]

Then a fuchsia, an unusual one, added because its also red.

We had a severe storm last night and a decent downpour of rain, hence no comments, sorry.
