Nostalgic Rose Bed 🌹🌹🌹

If you think that I have enough roses in my beautiful rose garden, you do not know me. I always try to create a new era that would have the beautiful romantic feeling and I like nostalgia so much. So today I will show you how I created a new rose bed this year and explain for you which roses I choose and why. This new rose area, nose bed, is now beautiful. New roses are in there but in the past there was nothing. In this part of the garden there were only just berries in there and no one actually wanted to eat them. So I decided already two years ago to recreate this area. First I put the beautiful bench over there and created a kind of focal point not just only for sitting on the bench but also some kind of design for this area. And then this year I wanted to create a new area here in the back because sitting over there and watching to the right there was nothing to watch, nothing to see. And honestly I did not like to go in this area of the garden because of the emptiness it had. So I decided that I will create a new rose bed here in the back. So I cleaned everything. I cleaned all the old berries, all the rubbish here and also all the weeds. And even we had some issue with my husband in the heat to put away the root of the old cherry tree. Probably it was the cherry tree but we simply had to remove it. And this is something that I always recommend. Remove all the stones, old roots and weeds from your future rose bed before you plant the roses. Because there is a pretty wide wall in the back and it's just a garage from our neighbor I've decided that I will place some rambling roses in this area. Already last year I placed a beautiful rambler perfumia silueta that bloomed already this year and it's really beautiful rambler. So I wanted for the new rose bed a rambler. I came across a beautiful rambler called Aristid Briand. Aristid Briand is a wonderful rambler that will grow two to three meters and I simply could not resist to get this rose. It has such a striking bloom. The color is pink, fading into white and there are more than one pink shades in this rose and it's fragrant. So when I saw the rose at the breeder I decided very spontaneously that I will take this one for the wall. I wanted also to create a little bit something different to the perfumia silueta that is a very interpurple color. So maybe occasionally they will meet or you will have a look on this whole wall and I wanted to see some kind of difference but not the big one. When these two roses one day maybe just match the canes they will look beautiful. And I also wanted to match the other roses that I got for this area. The one rose that is planted just in the back is a wonderful white rose called Brac Castle. When I created the bed opposite of this one and plant the bed I considered this rose for that bed. But sometimes you know when you plant roses you spontaneously and I very often just get my feeling decide to put the rose somewhere else. And this was the same with Brac Castle. So I planted it here and it just looks beautiful. If you want to create the nostalgia and romantic in a rose bed it's very good to use white colors and combine them with soft colors. And I've decided to keep this rose area into white, pink and kind of romantic. This nostalgia is then supported by the second rose that I got. This was a rose that caught my attention when I was shopping. And I already saw it in a catalog and I saw it even in a beautiful exhibition in Frankfurt Palmengarten. And this rose is called Pashmina. Pashmina rose has huge clusters of wonderfully pink bloom. But it's growing arching. So I expect that this rose will be pretty just big 80 centimeters big but providing this area a huge amount of this soft pink romantic. The next white rose that I just put on the opposite of the white Brac Castle is a rose called a Gräfin von Brühl. This rose is just beautiful. It does not grow that big. I think maximum 50 centimeters but has a huge amount of beautiful white colors. And it's so a bee magnet. I like roses that provide a lot of feed to food. Food is the right word in English. A lot of food to pollinators. And this one is just such a sunshine. So I thought that to put the Pashmina rose in between of the Brac Castle that it's a little bit cooler one will create simply beautiful feeling. Before we go to the last rose that is planted here as a standard let me speak about the perennials that I put to this rose bed. As I said the nostalgic and kind of romantic feeling is very often put together with pink, lavender, purple colors. And I could not resist a beautiful foxglove that I've seen in a shop. So I got two. I usually get two. And I placed them beneath the roses. Another perennial that I considered for this rose bed was a beautiful phlox. The color is just a kind of pale, pale lavender. And it's good because it blooms in the times when the roses are posing. So it creates a very good feeling in this area as well. And the last perennial that I also put here in the back and it blooms pretty early in the year is Columbine. This one is beautiful blue. And therefore I decided to plant this Columbine here just to make this area and support the colors that are already there and the roses that then get this romantic feeling that we want to have. So coming to the last rose that is planted here. It's a standard one. And it's a rose that is already a repetition of a rose in my garden. It's a beautiful rose called Mozart. And I just feel that this rose is the right one in this area because somehow the colors in the very subtle bloom that we can see just like here are also in the rose Aristide Briand and a little bit in the Pashmina. So everything is rounded up. And this rose brings a lot of structure to this rose bed. And provides another important point in the design of this garden. This rose becomes a focal point if you want to come from that area in the garden. So I placed it directly on this path so that when you want to join here this area you will have to see this rose blooming. On the opposite side if you sit in the living room where I usually sit in the morning and drink my coffee. I will see this rose from that area. Well not the whole rose but at least the bloom. And this is something that I truly love. To see the bloom. To enjoy the bloom. And I hope that you will create your rose bed as well. You will enjoy the roses in your garden. The beauty. The nostalgia. And finally will feel good. Love your roses. And I see you next time.
