We have some roses blooming in our garden now. This first one is an "Old Garden Rose" called "Bouquet d'Or", a Tea-Noisette Rose
introduced by Ducher in 1872. Nicely fragrant.



Next is "Climbing Snowbird", a climbing hybrid tea rose hybridized by Weeks in 1949. It has fully double white blooms that often have pale yellow centers, and have a mild but sweet fragrance. When fully open, the corollas look more like an OGR or David Austin "English Rose". Our plant is probably 8-10 years old now and thus well-established, so has about 8-10 foot tall canes on it each year. As you can see, some of the canes are even lying on our roof, so I'll need to cut it back a little after the first bloom cycle. 

Ohhh, how lovely.

I took one look at that second one and said, "David Austin"!!!  I sure does look like one.  I had a lovely David Austin for many years but it died a couple of years ago.

These are sure beautiful!

Your roses are beautiful.  The climber has beautiful blooms.  How big across are they?

Well done, as more varieties bloom let us see them.

Beautiful!!! 

Thank you all for your nice comments. I'm glad you enjoy them.

Judy: They vary from about 3 1/2" - 4 1/2" across when fully open.

They are beautiful!
