Hello GPODers!
After weeks of primarily fall images and with plenty of us already feeling winter creeping in, we’ve got a refreshing change of tempo at present. Lynne Leslie has shared her lovely backyard in Wellington, New Zealand a couple of occasions prior to now (Lynne’s Backyard in New Zealand, Lynne’s Backyard in New Zealand 2, and Mid-Winter in Lynne’s New Zealand Backyard), and we’re getting one other replace of her sensational flowers that sign that summer season is across the nook.
I possibly one other publish from the opposite aspect of the world and with one other local weather is perhaps of curiosity, Lynne Leslie
We have now had a really early ‘first flush’ of roses right here in Wellington, New Zealand. Perhaps my change of feeding schedule has one thing to do with that. I’ve begun to make use of blood & bone month-to-month (with preparatory rose meals September and once more late December as per my ordinary feeding schedule). I desire to make use of pure merchandise wherever doable. The robust gales this time of 12 months coincide with all of the spring flowers and play havoc with roses, Canterbury bells (Campanula medium, Zones 3–9), lupins and poppies.
Shirley poppies. I like rising crops from seed and cuttings. I like the pink poppies and this 12 months had a beautiful smooth pink double which is able to hopefully give me seed for subsequent 12 months.
Pink lupines (Lupinus polyphyllus, Zones 3–9) earlier than they had been devastated by the wind.
Notice from the editor: New Zealand has a wealthy historical past of cultivating roses after the plant was launched to the nation within the early 1800s. Due to this and strict laws on importing overseas crops, a lot of the cultivars in New Zealand gardens are fully totally different from these we develop in North America. Clearly, you gained’t be capable of discover US hardiness zones for these New Zealand varieties, so that’s the reason they’re omitted from a lot of the roses under.
Kaiteri Gold climbing rose (Rosa ‘Kaiteri Gold’) – such a powerful rose which stands the wind fairly effectively.
Inexperienced with Envy (R. ‘Inexperienced with Envy’) – at all times in flower and lasts effectively when picked.
Arrowtown (R. ‘Arrowtown’) – one other climber. I prefer to cowl fences the place doable.
Glamis Fort® (R. ‘Glamis Fort’, Zones 5–10).
New Zealand Gardener (R. ‘New Zealand Gardener’).
Want Come True (R. ‘Want Come True’) – I gained this rose from the grower and it’s considered one of my favourites.
A Gardener’s Dream (R. ‘A Gardener’s Dream’)
If I cram in loads if perennials they preserve the color going between rose flowering. It at all times amuses me how gardeners at all times discover different gardeners to talk to when out strolling and socialising. I’ve many teams by way of my backyard this time of 12 months and d it’s so pretty to share it with others. Gardeners are at all times beneficiant with their information and crops and we’re at all times studying from one another. What a beautiful passion.
