Late autumn flowers

Yesterday I went to the plot to plant some new roses that had arrived earlier this week. 

We've been having an Indian Summer since Monday, beautiful, warm and pleasant aura. 

I can't even imagine that the weather is unfortunately going towards much colder temperatures. 

I still haven't done all in the garden that I had planned for the autumn, and what worries me is that frost and snow is forecast for the end of the month. 

I was surprised that there are still so many dahlias flowering.

 The trees behind them are shedding leaves, and the green color all around looks a bit worn out.

I planted new roses such as: Bouquet Parfait, Cesar, Schneewittchen (bushy and climbing), White and Yellow Fairy, Myriam and more. 

Some of the roses on a flower bed are still flowering and many have buds. 

Here Lavender Flower Circus - suits my wellies 😁

I also spotted some autumn raspberries hidden in the grass :)

All plant is just about 30 cm high and bears fruit like crazy!

Oh Wow / Purple Splash rose

Oh Wow / Purple Splash Rose - is a large-flowered climber. It can grow up to 400 cm high. 

I planted mine last autumn, but since then it has grown to about 1,4m high and bloomed a few flowers. It's still flowering though. 

The first developed blooms had been eaten by some insects so I had to wait more to see these fancy purple flowers. 

The first flowers had more white in a purple-white mix, but the next were darker. 

Cosmoses, my favourite annuals

Cosmoses (cosmos bipinnatus) are my favourite annual flowers.

I love them for their typical shape of petals, like in a children's painting. 

I love them because they're easy to grow, they self-seed and they flower till the first frosts.   

Most of them grow high (1,2m or even 2m), but nowadays you can buy shorter, dwarf varieties that will fit in any garden.

 They attract bees and butterflies. 

I absolutely adore them :)

Take a look at range of varieties I planted this year.
