This is the seventh post on the roses in our yard. The previous posts can be found by clicking on the tag ‘Roses’ below.
Acapella is one of our newer roses, and it resides in a container along our driveway. In addition to beautiful color, Acapella also has a delightful fragrance.
One of our most fragrant roses is Frederic Mistral. This rose has a tendency to branch all over the place, so it it requires a lot of pruning. But the the fragrance and color keeps it in our garden.
Glowing Peace is another offspring of the famous Peace rose. I really like the colors of this beauty.
Another relatively new rose for us is Lemon Spice. Both the color and the fragrance are ‘spicy’.
Medallion certainly takes the prize as the rose with the largest blossoms in our yard. I first had this variety nearly 40 years ago, although we’ve had this particular bush for only a couple of years. I think this rose definitely deserves a medal of some sort.

I really like the delicate veining on Acapella and Glowing Peace, but I LOVE the water drops on Frederic Mistral!

I usually prefer the deeper colored roses, but the Peace (and your new Glowing Peace) is among my favorites.
