Guess which rose Ispahan or Clytemnestra

Clytemnestra Climbing Rose



I give up in uploading too many pictures at the same time. I do not know how to make the pictures move and stay where I want them to. I will have to do that one at a time. It takes longer but if it helps, I have to do it.
Ispahan damask rose is much bigger and has more petals. Clytemnestra climbing rose has sweeter fragrant even lot of blooms out at once it still will not be heady as Ispahan I wonder why.

Bloom Bloom Bliss MidSpring!!!

I have only one orange tiger lily seems to be alive and in bloom. It is pretty when it is tall; this is the skinniest and shortest lily I ever have. I am so glad that I have some dutch irises because they are so beautiful when blooming all at once. I am hoping that I have enough flower to cut and put on the show which I do not have to buy anything. This is the reason I brought and planted lot of them so I will always have flowers in blooming and different from everyone. My yellow Southern Bell is blooming and the only three of roses from Jackson and Perkins alive.

My backyard is still just dust, dry sandy/rock, weed, poop, urinate traces, and 30 rock for the raise bed! It should not consider a back yard, but it should consider wasted land. I am hate to say that I cannot upload all 5 pictures at the same time to save me time; it always seems to fail. I wonder why. I used to have geocity which had every good upload system and fast! I hate to wait just for the pictures to upload one at a time!
I have annual red poppy which I save the seed pods for my deco art flower arrangement. Pink Jasmines are the new addition this Spring very short and young and have strong fragrance. The pink rose is Ispahan which has a light sweet perfume but if there are enough bloom will make a heady fragrance. I do not know whether anyone know or like guava fragrance. I wonder anyone ever smell the leaves of the Lantana and tell me what it smells like. I have Confeti Lantana's leave smell like--yes, you have guess where I am going with this--guava!

Koi Mountain Rose Soap Picture

I thought that since these soap is rose fragrant and I had lot of roses in bloom why not take the picture along with real rose. I forgot to take the picture of soap in the pink wrap paper.

Got the Baking Notebook! Rose Pictures

This dish is Salmon Mint with Walnut Raspberry
Vinaigrette (salad dressing) and a little Cajun spice which work well with fish. There is garlic olive oil and a flash of lemon juice.
I only remembered to get 16 oz of salmon last night along with painter tape to line the soap mold, and AA battery for the camera to take picture of the soap. I forgot the sour dough bread for today French toast! I had to make a 5 mile trip to get the good bread from Smith. There is one Mexican's supermarket but the place is always loud from the music and weekend the place always pack. I rarely went to this supermarket. There are only two of these supermarkets in town.
I was in a hurry to make the breakfast that I forgot to take the picture. I used three eggs, 3 tablespoon of milk, 1/8 tsp salt, a pinch of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. 1/2 tsp vanilla because I do not like the smell of egg when I eat. Cinnamon should overcome the smell but I do not like the strong smell of cinnamon much. Cinnamon bun is good but whenever I make it, I do not put much cinnamon and sugar at least for myself. I use 4 1/2 bread to make 4 1/2 French toast for two. I was not able to eat much this morning.
In order to get the Baking Notebook, I had to travel to my boyfriend's parents' house 45 minutes to go to the barn and search for it. I was luck this time to find it because I tried the last time I could not find it.
I had a good night sleep, except that I woke up with a cold that my voice change to croaked. Jordan wanted a share of the bed when everyone was sleeping. She made Jamie moved for her to get a good spot. Jamie went up and slept between us; thus, she moved most of my top cover down. I had only a layer of blanket so I got cold. I do not understand why I should got cold because that layer is the white goose down; perhaps, I did not have the whole thing cover around my body but just my chest.


The red rose is the Fragrant Cloud the smell is sweet and strong. To me it smell delightful. The cottage Old English cabbage like rose is Shasta rose. I think it is one of David Austen Rose which I admire and want to grown as much as possible in the yard.because they smell great and they are gorgeous!
I am baking rib in the oven right now. It had been marinated for an hour. I cleaned out the silver lining skin so that the meat can get much of the marinated sinking in to be tasty. I used virgin olive oil, garlic and onion powder, salt and lot of cracked pepper, Spanish balsamic vinegar, a little Worcestershire powder, and ginger powder. I set the oven @425 degree for 20 minutes, 400 degree for 20 minutes the rest will be 350 degree 25
minutes.

Rose from Rogue Valley Rose.com

I ordered the rose on Wednesday. They only ship rose on Monday weekly so I requested Monday, May 11, 2010 for my roses to be shipped by UPS Priority Mail. I just got them this morning.

Crested Damask™

This is a compact, relaxed shrub growing about 4 feet wide and 3 feet tall, with dark green foliage. The blooms are borne in clusters of 3 to 5 in great profusion for about 5 weeks in early Summer. Each bloom is pure OGR: 3.5 inch shallow cups of over 100 petals each, in a rich raspberry-pink hue with a button eye at the center.

Gloire de Guilan

The fragrance does seem to increase as the petals dry, so I would think it excellent in potpourri as well. I love the slight irregularity of the petals which add a certain windblown quality. It blooms long and profusely on a healthy, modest size plant.

Ispahan I hope that since it is a damask type of rose that it will have strong fragrant unlike the rating; otherwise, I will be truly very disappointed.

Botzaris

For many, 'Botzaris' may be preferable to 'Mme. Hardy' as the shrub is smaller and more compact, growing to no more than 5 feet tall under most circumstances. The blooms of 'Botzaris' are snow white, with just a hint of red on the guard petals, most visible in the bud. The fragrance, as could be expected, is wonderfully rich; typical Damask. Individual blooms are about 3 inches in diameter, cupped and packed full of petals that withstand wet weather admirably."

Disease Resistant: Very Disease Resistant Thorns: Sparse Cutting: Good for cutting

Clytemnestra

This is a lax and spreading Hybrid Musk that is easily grown as a climber. The blooms are in clusters similar to Cornelia, but more yellow and apricot in tone than that rose. The petals pale and quill as they age.

Name: Clytemnestra Class: Hybrid Musk Height: 10-15 feet Growth: Shrub, may be grown as a climber Color: Apricot and Apricot Blend Bloom size: 2.5"	Zone: Zone 7 Bloom type: Loosely Double Rebloom: rrr Fragrance: fff Hybridizer: Pemberton Year introduced: 1925

I got Zephirine Drouhin rose as part of free rose on the "Split Stem" Rose List

You may choose a free rose from this list for every 4 roses you purchase at the regular price! (The number available is listed after the name of the rose - many are in short supply!) Please use the popup box at the end of the online purchase process or email us with your choices from the list below and include three alternates for each free split stem rose your choose - many of these roses are one of a kind! (ex. if you choose 2 free split stem roses, you need to include 6 alternate selections).

I have a problem with Zephirine Drouhin rose which as you see the picture on the right. It has a very darken rotten looking stem as the main body; therefore, I am not sure whether or not it will survive any longer than my other own root rose from Jackson and Perkins rose. I guess that I have to take some more picture and send to the company and complain about it before they will not take my word for it. I will let you know how all of my roses doing and what exactly the fragrant is like. I have to re-pot them today. I wanted to walk with my girls later if that is possible. They are getting used to have a regular walk recently.

My wish lists of damask roses:
Kazanlik
Mme. Hardy
York and Lancaster
La Ville de Bruxelles

I just took some pictures to see what I have right now. I have a lot! I just do not have place or a nicer pot to put most of them to display. I love fragrant, ever bloom flower, and evergreen tree. Any combination of these will make me very happy.
Since my yard does not have fence like all the neighbors, all the trash in the neighborhood land and stay in my yard! Which idiot trash their own neighborhood!? That is not as bad as the neighbor let their dogs poop in my front yard! These dogs run wild in the street. Some of these days there may be accident involving the "loving" pooch... They will have only themselves to blame.
I took Jamie and Jordan for a walk. They were well behaved in a way meaning that I still have to correct some of their manner but most were not as bad as before. We did not encounter any dog so it made sense to have an easy walk.

The rose above is Rose de Rescht Old Roses (Portland Roses). A good bushy plant, with, neat, full flowers of purple-crimson, held well above its ample foliage. Very fragrant. Good repeating. 3 ft. x 2 ft. I do not see the "purple-crimson" color so I am happy because that color is really dark but it will match with my crimson queen Japanese maple tree on the right. If you can see the bright red that gonna be seed which I am not sure whether or not it sterilize or easy to germinate. I like the maple because it has a cascade habit. This maple will give the house a sense of Asian style which is the same as the Koi Mountain name. The true name is "Harmony" Koi Mountain. It is too bad that I have a small backyard; otherwise, I will have a koi pond along with lotus plant/flower also. The backyard will have 8 types of plums, 5 type of apples, and 4 types of cherry. I have not mention the raise bed around the back wall will have climbing roses. Most of the rose is damask and will be on a shadier side of the house; otherwise none of the bloom will survive. I will collect most of the bloom and make nice dry bouquet. It is too bad that they will only bloom once in the spring time except for Autumn Damask R. damascena bifera 'Quatre Saisons.

I made pork tenderloin in tomato paste with white onion, cracked pepper and cajun style spices all in a slow cooker for almost 6 hours because it is a huge piece. The smell is amazing! I was thinly slice the meat as much as possible. It was cover in it own sauce and premium roasted garlic oil reserve Late harvest from TEMECULA OLIVE OIL COMPANY which is the best tastiest olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I have been using the Roasted garlic olive oil almost on everything and the citrus use mostly on salmon and chicken. The pomegranate balsamic vinegar is used on fruit salad that goes with pork chop. Yum! Let get back to this dish.There is lot of sea salt on the sliced tomatoes and a pinch of salt and pure unrefined brown sugar cane on the strawberry slices. The left over will be make into sloppy Joe and sandwich.
