As long as my current garden is a sepia brown colored mess you have to put up with me going to my archives and pulling photos from there. Because honestly, who wants to look at frost damaged plants on Instagram in spring? Certainly not me especially since I have this sight every day when I open my front door! So today I found a photo of a hybrid tea rose called ‘Moonstone’ for you that I grew in my old garden in San Diego. It was one of the few hybrid tea roses that I could grow organically on its own roots with a no spray regimen that bloomed willingly and profusely. Something which I probably can only dream of in the challenging climate of Austin that I live and garden in now. I love the elegant, big, ivory-white blooms with the pink edged petals of this rose. Sadly, it doesn’t have any scent to my nose. Back to my garden in Austin, upon closer inspection yesterday, I can now say with certainty that I didn’t loose any of my seven roses to the arctic blast. Phew! All are leaving out nicely, some are more vigorously than others, but they all made it and are waiting to be fed the first time in the season. That shows again how resilient roses are! How are your roses doing one week into the month of March? Hope you all have a good start into the new week! #organicgardendreams #rose #roses #flower #flowers #bloom #blooms #rosebloom #roseblooms #hybridtea #hybridtearose #hybridtearoses #moonstone #moonstonerose #rosamoonstone #roselover #rosesofinstagram #roseconnoisseur #gardening #elegant #elegantrose (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKUuHfgE-9/?igshid=1fzszywfqwnoq
