The Many Faces of Janet

The rose 'Janet' that is~~~
In our family garden bed, my namesake plant has been blooming for the last week or so.  It is a David Austin rose.   Listed as a climber, it can be pruned to shrub form, which is how I prefer to keep it.  So, without further ado I present 'Janet'---













Sure glad to have this beauty in my garden.

  15. She blushes! One might almost say she gets hot flushes, since it only happens as she ages ;-) Beautiful.

    Catherine, so far in my family garden I have a Rebecca Clematis and a Rachel Peony, my two daughters, my rose and am waiting on a Charlie's White Peony for my husband. Also have a Ledebouria cooperii for our last name. Still knocking around which plant to add for son in law to be....Alex.

    Daricia, After having looked at a number of plant lists, you never know what names you might find! thanks.
