Oh My, are the Roses Blooming..With or Without My Help...

I have been gardening for a little over two years now so I am not the voice of experience when I say these things.  But unlike last year...the roses have really taken off, despite the fact I have yet to weed, prune, feed, irrigate, or deadhead.  I ponder if it was the rain, or the cold, or the fact they are more established or what?

In looking at this time last year, perhaps they are on time.  The majority of these roses were from bare root last year.

This is the picture of what the back yard looked like in 2012

This is what it looked like in 2013

And the following pictures is what it looks like now.

The knockouts were by far the first one's to take off.  I never have grown them from bare root.

Bottlebrush...I so terribly need to move these

 Pinata rose that I grew from bare root purchased at Dollar General

 Another Dollar General bare root purchase.  Joseph's Coat.

 Yes the garden needs to be weeded terribly.  The next day I cut the tops off of the mexican heather

 Knockouts were the first to take off

Green Ice

Sunny Knockout

Double Knockout

Peach Drift

William Baffin finally bloomed

 Very pretty flower

 Rock N Roll

Not sure

This was a dollar general bare root that was labeled charisma...I don't think that is what this is.

 Ebb Tide

Whatever this Charisma rose imposter it...it has multiple colors and definitely a climber

Don Juan

More Knockouts

Electron

I belive this is Tiffany

I know this does not look like much but this bush is my prettiest read rose.  It was supposed to be a Promise Rose.  I don't think it is.  It maybe Chrysler Imperial.

I don't know what these rose bushes are.  When mom bought them for me it looked like a tree.  They are definitely ogr I think.

I have well over 100 roses in this back rose garden.  So the garden is just getting started.  It's probably only at 40% blooms

Trimmed up around the back porch

Trimmed down the mexican heather

Removed the weeds

 The garden is starting to look nice as I begin weeding it.  After that pruning feeding, etc...

It rained over 3 inches in a few hours last night.

Rose of the Week...Tiffany Rose

The rose of the week is the Tiffany rose.  I planted two of them as bare roots this past winter.  One is a great deal smaller than the other despite similar conditions.   It's an award winning rose by the AARS (my understanding).  

The other rose I have is not very tall...but this one has grown to about 4 1/2 feet.

It's blooming rather profusely.  I did give it a full does of Bayer Rose care.

The blooms are very large and elegant.  You can see it's size in comparison to my hand.

If you would like a link to read more opinions of the Tiffany rose, click HERE.

Right now it's blooming profusely which is why I chose it.

It is a hybrid tea rose.  The web reads that it grows up to 4 feet but my experience has been given enough water...roses can grow taller.

Web reads that is hardy from zones 4 to 9.  It does have a fragrance.  

I have read that it can get bushy, but this one seems to be upright.  It has bloomed fairly often.
