Here are a bunch of roses – in order Super Elfin, Lady Emma Hamilton, For your Eyes Only, Red Carpet Rose, and Pink Climber
This evening we all dined on roast lamb, Yorkshire pudding, boiled potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, runner and green beans with which I drank the last of the Shiraz and Ian and Dillon drank Moretti.
I love the delicate pink of the Pink Climber.
Thanks very much, Liz.
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I’m amazed at how well the flowers have survived your recent wild weather, guys. Nice! Dinner sounds sooo good! ????????
hanks very much, John
Ahhhhhhhhh
Thank you very much, Alys
Wow!!!
Seems like such a pretty neck if the woods you live in and you seem to be eating well!
Thanks very much, Sweet
I thank you for all the magnificent winter roses, Derrick. You made my day.

Thanks a lot, Toolepedal
Such lovely roses–I can almost smell them from here, as well as the lovely meal! Thank you for sharing them–
Much appreciated, Donnalee
Beautiful
Thanks very much, Bridget
Aw! One year I had a yellow rose blooming outside my bedroom window in late November. In my climate, however, the poor thing was frozen the first day of December. Lucky you to have garden roses this time of year!
Thanks very much, Doug
What a beautiful collection!
Thanks very much, Riba
Love them all.
Thanks very much, Arlene
Hope you are keeping well and festive! Great rose photos! 🙂
All well now, Quercus. Thank you very much
When we went to Little Gidding we saw a cottage garden with roses in it – yours are doing a remarkably good job of persisting.
That peach rose.
Beautiful
Thanks very much, Mimi
Always welcome
Roses are obviously more hardy than we think. The tough ones in your garden are lovely to see.
Thank you so much, Anne
Supr Elfin is a really bright beautiful colour, especially for a rather dull, dark Boxing Day.
Thanks very much, John
Such beautiful roses of gorgeous colors with lovely names!
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn XX
These are beautiful, but how have they have managed to survive the gales and the onset of winter is a miracle.
It is rather. Martin has done much cutting back which should give us many more soon. Thanks very much, Sue
Your Boxing Day roses are all the more special for providing such beauty in late December. <3
Thank you so much, Merril
Roses in December – who knew? lol
Thanks very much, GP
Beautiful but confusing picture for this season. However, even in winter time your garden is blooming and it is good sign for the next coming year!
Thank you very much, Alexander
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
What a joyous display of winter roses, Derrick and Jackie! Thank you so much for that!
Much appreciated by us both, Lavinia
Amazing that you still have roses in December, Derrick. Have you had no freezing temps?
Just one morning’s frost some weeks ago. Thanks very much, Judy
Lovely roses for late December, plus so many different types. Good dinner.
Thanks very much, Pat
How resilient!
Thanks very much, Andrew
It’s nice to see a spot if color in the winter.

They are all so lovely!
Thank you very much, Dale
Beautiful roses.

The roses are still looking good. It’s amazing despite the weather. My geraniums and jasmine on the balcony are still doing fine as well
Thanks very much, Geetha
