Here are my favourite pink roses: English Rose ‘Gertrude Jeykll’, Delbard ‘Chartreuse de Parme’, and Rugosa Rose ‘Anne Endt’.
The light pink rose is English Rose Strawberry Hill, which has a strong scent but one I don’t like as much.
I love the long buds of the Rugosa, unfortunately the open single flowers lost their petals on the way home. This is a rose which bees love as well. There are a lot of little dianthus in here as well, so the scent is amazing.
Pop round to Rambling in the Garden to share some garden fireworks.

A truely beautiful arrangement Cath, lovely pinks, I can imagine that the room will also be wonderfully scented too.
Thanks Noelle, it did scent the room. The roses are almost gone now, just a few buds left, but the dianthus are still looking good. BTW I loved your Fuschia ‘Star Wars’ – I am looking out for it, just such a pretty colour combination.
What beautiul roses – and how quickly you moved from spring bulbs to roses! What months do your roses usually flower in?
Thank you Cathy. They didn’t really die back completely this Winter – we didn’t have much cold weather. They normally do a flush around now, and then on and off all summer and maybe another flush in April as the weather cools.
O, so lovely and reminiscent of beautiful summer days. I can almost enjoy the fragrance from here.
Thank you, I’m looking forward to beautiful summer days.
Another gorgeous composition! The Ixia provides the perfect accent.
Thank you!
This is a feast for my eyes. What wonderful roses in beautiful colours.
Thank you 🙂
G J is my favourite Rose. Heavenly scent but a bit prickly
Mine too – it’s one of the best scents and relatively healthy. It is prickly, although I have worse ones.
I don’t think I have ever seen so many beautiful pinks in November…stunning vase and I especially love the roses.
Thank you, I feel like I need to try some new ones, I just need to find / make a good spot for one.
Lovely, wish I was there.
I think your weather is better than ours at the moment, it won’t stop raining here. 🙂
Such a sweet arrangement…I’m sure it smells heavenly, too!
Thank you 😊 it does smell nice – it’s one of those ones which scents the air around it.
So glorious. Sigh (with envy)
Thank you 😊
Your roses are beautiful Cath, and so early too! Or perhaps that is normal in your climate? I love the scent of Dianthus and can imagine the whole bouquet smells delicious! 😉
I think it’s pretty normal. At this time of year we get the usual mix of warm days followed by cold and rain. It’s less windy this year so far which is a bonus. 🙂
the nosegay and the teardrop vase complement each other perfectly.
Thank you 🙂
Delightful roses – looking at them takes me right back to June. They immediately got me googling, particularly for ‘Chartreuse de Parme’ – what a special rose. I could almost smell the roses and dianthus coming off my computer screen!
Chartreuse de Parme was the first rose I bought for this garden. I thought that I had ‘gone off’ roses, but I smelled this one while shopping for fruit trees and it took me right back to my grandparents garden.
I now have it on my list – looks lovely!
