Normally the one thing I give up for lent is my new years resolutions but since I am a late starter this year I will stick to the Rose this time.<br /> This month I will be ordering some new bare rooted roses of ‘Ruby Wedding’ and will leave you to guess why.</p> <p><strong><br /> Masquarade Rose</strong><br /> Masquerade’ (above) is a floribunda rose with dark green <a title="foliage" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/foliage/">foliage</a> and semi-double <a title="flowers" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/flowers/">flowers</a> of mixed yellow turning red as they age.<br /> As a climber the Masquerade will grow upto 6 feet tall and repeat flower through the season. It has fine colouring, negligible scent but is OK for a north facing position.<br /> Baby Masquerade is a cross with tom thumb but retains all the Masquarade charecteristics on a 10″ high plant. </p> <p>The velvety, deep red rose (below) was established in my <a title="garden" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/garden/">garden</a> when I moved in almost 30 years ago and I have never known its name. Perhaps I should do some digging through rose catalogues to find out.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hortoris/4323351650/" title="Rose "><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4323351650_1a15057e92.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Rose" /></a></p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_28296" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a28296" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a28296" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX28296X5X0XaXarticle_rater_28296Xarticle_loader_28296X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX28296X4X0XaXarticle_rater_28296Xarticle_loader_28296X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX28296X3X0XaXarticle_rater_28296Xarticle_loader_28296X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX28296X2X0XaXarticle_rater_28296Xarticle_loader_28296X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX28296X1X0XaXarticle_rater_28296Xarticle_loader_28296X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_28296" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a28296">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
