One of my concerns was that the roses would not be blooming anymore in England when we would time our vacation in the first two weeks of July (usually we always go in June). Luckily I was wrong! Some of them are beyond their prime, others seem to be at their peak or a little beyond, and some are gone over, but there are still many to see and enjoy. I wonder if they had a very cold spring in England this year and that is the reason the roses are still blooming relatively profusely? Or do some re-bloom already? Maybe my British followers can enlighten me? Whatever the reasons are I am beyond happy that the roses are still blooming here. After all, an English garden/cottage garden without a flowering rose just doesn’t seem right. And who doesn’t want to see a climbing rose conquering an old cottage? I am sharing in this post my favorite rose that I saw today. Its dark burgundy red color was so deep and velvety in reality, but unfortunately my camera wasn’t fully able to capture it properly. The rose still looks amazing, doesn’t it? I guess, it is a David Austin rose, maybe Munstead Wood? Would you rose lovers out there agree? Or do you have any other suggestions what variety this could be? Wishing you all a lovely rest of the Monday and my American followers a wonderful and safe 4th of July celebration. #organicgardendreams #rose #roses #redrose #redroses #cottagegarden #cottagegardenstyle #rosephotography #flowerphotography #rosesofinstagram #roselover #rosegarden #englishgardens #englishgardens #cottagecore #darkredrose #darkredroses #fortheloveofroses #cottagegardens #rosegarden #england #cotswolds #cotswoldslife #englishrose #englishroses #davidaustinroses #davidaustinrose #cottageflowers #bloom #flower (at Castle Combe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfmeeOwq96R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 29 August 2023

In a cottage garden was this narrow petalled Leucanthemum x superbum cultivar (Shasta daisy, ox-eye daisy). This is a great plant for the border or in a meadow planting.

Cottage garden, California style! Look at that vigorous Climbing Cecile Brunner rose totally engulfing the rustic wood arbor. Isn’t that glorious? The photo was taken on my recent trip to La Jolla, California, but I have seen a Cecile Brunner rose growing up the side of a building at a local nursery here in Austin as well. I am tinkering with the idea of planting this rose in my own garden and let it climb along a fence. What do you think, shall I give it a try? Anyone having experience with growing this rose? Hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! It is too hot for me to be out in the garden today (forecast predicts the highest temperatures to be 95 F/ 31 C) so washing pots and pans it is after I am done with this post and filing some papers later. Not my favorite tasks but I will feel so much better when it is done, or so do I tell me… #organicgardendreams #cecilebrunner #cecilebrunnerrose #cecilebrunnerclimbingrose #climbingroses #climbingrose #pinkrose #pinkclimbingrose #pinkclimbingroses #rose #roses #rusticarbor #cottagegarden #cottagegardens #gardening #garden #gardens #cottagegardenstyle #californiacottagegarden #fortheloveofroses #californiaroses #vigorousrose #rusticgarden #gardendesign #gardeninspiration #rosesofinstagram #instaroses (at La Jolla California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdlgIdQujjo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Birdbath in the garden.🕊🕊🕊 I like to take leftover cut flowers and float them sometimes bees and butterflies - will hop on the blooms to take a drink. #alfordsgardens #birdbath #flowers #gardendesign #gardendesignersoninstagram #gardenplan #landscapedesign #gardenlove#romanticgarden #gardeninspired #cottagegardens #gardendecor (at Alford's English Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZKn2TJxjm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Um lindo quarto para chamar de seu e flores para alegrar o domingo. . . . @acquired_by_andrea . . . Follow 👉@soniafragadias👈 . . . acquired_by_andrea 🌸Big question ~ Tucked or Untucked? 🌸That is the great debate in our house when it comes to sleeping with the top sheet. I prefer it tucked under the mattress for a cozy wrap like feel while Dave prefers it untucked for a less restricted feel. 🌸Whether you are a tucker or non-tucker, I believe bedding plays a huge role in how we sleep. With each passing season I acquire new sheets for a fresh look and feel. With spring finally here @bollandbranch bedding couldn’t be more perfect! #ad 🌸What I love most about @bollandbranch luxury bedding is that it’s the very best quality. The cotton Signature Eyelet Sheet Set is incredibly silky to the touch and even gets softer overtime. The details of embroidered eyelet band in the Shore colorway are exquisite. In addition to the sheet set, I acquired the Heritage Quilt and Shams, the Waffle Bed Blanket, and the Cable Knit Throw Blanket. The heirloom quality bedding I received from @bollandbranch is ideal for the warmer months ahead and I know we’ll be sleeping much better at night, tucked or untucked! 🌸SPRING SALE ALERT! I have exclusive access to Boll and Branch’s spring sale ~ Use code ANDREA20 for 20% off your purchase! This is Boll and Branch’s best offer of the season so take advantage of this incredible offer while it lasts. 🌸Head to my stories for a closer look at the bedding in our primary bedroom and links to shop. #bollandbranch #bollandbranchpartner #ad #luxurybedding #bedding #primarybedroom #luxurybedroom #spring #springflowers #tulipseason #cottagestyle #cottagegardens #victoriamagazine #flowermagazine #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #blueandwhite #blueandwhitehome #grandmillennial #pinkdecor #newbedding #freshsheets #southernchar#soniafrdias #soniafragadiasdesigner #soniafrdiasdesinerdeinteriores #soniafragadias #soniafragadiasdesign (em Itaipava, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdA63CcOFtT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
