Spring is near..

Spring is near. I will not actually say it is here yet, but veeery close.

Let me present: La Paloma
I have two of this one in my garden. But I have some diffiuculties in making it stay healthy. It seems to struggle a bit. But I hope it will be better with age.
Jeg har to stk av denne i hagen. Men jeg har hatt litt vanskeligheter med å få den til å holde seg frisk. Ser ut til å slite litt. Men jeg håper den "vokser" det av seg.

I really hope this climber survived the hard winther we had this year. When I looked at it the other day, it dìdn`t look so great. But I am not giving up hope. Flowers with clusters of white flowes. Gorgeous!
Jeg håper virkelig at denne klatreren overlevde den harde vinteren vi hadde i år. Jeg kikket på den her om dagen og det så ikke så bra ut. Men jeg gir ikke opp håpet. Blomstrer med store klaser av hvite blomster. Nydelig!

Another Austin rose. This one has not been given the best conditions in my garden. I am sorry to say. Normally it struggles with too heavy Geraniums surrounding her. But this year I have moved away some of the invasive friends, and we hope for a better year.
Enda en Austin rose. Denne har desverre ikke fått den beste plasseringen hos meg. Beklager å måtte si det. Vanligvis sliter hun med noen litt for invasive geranium som kvele henne litt. Så i år har jeg flyttet litt på disse i håp om at hun trives bedre med litt rom rundt seg.
