June is Rose Month! Charles de Mills

 This is the last rose in the series for this year. It is also my favorite rose. This is the rose that got me into growing old garden roses. If I can only choose one rose to have Charles de Mills would be it. It seems to have stayed on the more pink side of purple this year, but it seems that most of my purples stayed pinker than normal. I think it was a weather related occurrence. You can see a short video about Charles de Mills here:

June is Rose Month! Marianne

 A Paul Barden gallica. Bred by using Duchesse de Montebello and Abraham Darby. It in a way leans/cascades down the hillside where it is growing. For me it does have some issues with rain and humidity combined with heat. It is very vigorous. Well worth growing. You can see a short video of it here:

June is Rose Month! Lemon Zen

 A hybrid Moschata rose. Bred by crossing the Musk rose with Graham Thomas. Blooms in clusters. It would probably be better grown on something horizontally, but can be grown as a shrub. You can see a short video about it here:

June is Rose Month! Lady of Shalott

 Quite a bit more similar to Pat Austin in color than I was expecting. This is the first summer in my yard so I shall see how it goes. It seems to rebloom pretty quickly, seeing how it has put out 2 flushes in the time that most of my roses have put out one flush.
