What a vibrant colour they are Mick! Now here is a rose with no name in the garden……And it is not Double Delight, but agree it is very similar. I'll have to keep looking through my catalogue.

Here is another rose that has lost it's 'tag' and now can only be identified by comparing it to rose photos in my Ludwig's Roses Catalogue. I t h I n k. it could be a rose called Anneli van Rooyen It is so unusual and I love it!

One more for today - I'm deadheading as the weather is perfect to be outdoors. This one is "Grassland Meander".

I thought it was all finished, but my hibiscus is definitely threatening to bloom a few more times.

If you ever want to buy a stunning red rose that lasts for days on end, look no further than a rose called "Five Roses" in honour of the Tea makers. Not sure if the tea is available in UK and elsewhere but its South Africa's best seller in the Tea stakes. These were picked and are on my dressingtable so they would not be spoiled by the rain. In the same vase furtherest back in pink with slightly green outer petals is rose "Table Mountain" and wedged between is a pretty little rose but no name. "Table Mountain"

Tods rose made me realise that some of mine are now in flower, it ain't June for Gawd's sake And this doesn't know it is not April and has been flowering for some time now

My hibiscus has begun a November blooming season. Incredible.

That is amazing, but they're inside, so rightfully confused about the season.
But Mossie's Lyoris and rose this late into autumn are incredible. Probably a sign of the end times.

Stunning roses Tod. #2883 sure looks like 'Double Delight'. That particular hybrid tea is known for it's fragrance. So, I am wondering if it is fragrant.
Mossie, I love your Lycoris, I only know them as being either yellow or the classis red variety that's prevalent here. I will always remember visiting St. Francisville, La. where Bixa's roots lie, during early Autumn/ Indian summer and the whole town blanketed in them. They repeat here and multiply in such a glorious way.

Well,thanks Bixa and Casi. I finally discovered the name of those pink lillies: lycoris squagimera. I had to look it up when Bixa mentioned it. I have had some growing in my garden the past two years and had no idea where they came from. The neighbour has even more which he didn't plant. I just read that they multiply over garden fences. I really like the delicate pink colour, and they bloom when there is not much else blooming -- in September/October here.

Tod, I was referring to Kerouac's hibiscus. I know your beauties were grown outside.

Here is the first pitiful November hibiscus bloom, but there are lots of buds developing.

Yes, they multiply here too and are a delight because they seem to just pop up and surprise you with their splendor. Some might consider a plant that does that invasive but, I never have. I have never seen a pink one. Red and a dark yellow are the most prevalent here. And, yes, their bloom time here is in October and that too adds to their appeal.

Mine are pink like those in Mossie's picture above. The pink are lovely, but see if you can get your hands on the red ones. They're are more open & "wilder" looking. Indeed cheery, Mick. I love pansies.
