Regardless the heavy rain that we got from the beginning of June till now, we managed to have beautiful Victorian hybrid Pelargonium Rosebuds on June 7. Victorian hybrid features clusters of tiny double blossoms, like a mini bouquet of roses. In years past, the blooms were used for small corsages or to decorate a buttonhole. Have you ever seen them?
Here you see in my silver Rose vase from left to right: the Geranium 'Pink Rosebud' (Pelargonium hybrid); 'Appleblossom Rosebud' and the 'Red Rosebud'. Below post you find link with address in Connecticut where we obtained also ours. There also is a link to a blogger in Norway with an even more extensive collection.
Not so easy to capture them during cloudy weather but this photo does show them clearly.
'Pink Rosebud' at the bottom; 'Appleblossum Rosebud' in the center and 'Red Rosebud' at the top.
Here is the 'Appleblossum Rosebud' Pelargonium budding inside our greenhouse...

This is a previous photo with the 'Red Rosebud' Pelargonium hybrid.
Yup, that's what my tiny silver vase is; from an antique silver handled walking stick...
Hope you enjoyed these mini rose bouquets!

ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteOne can only admire those that hybridize a simple plant and create such romantic blossoms!
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I have not seen Pelargonium Roses before. Thanks for sharing.
Dearest Munir,
DeleteThose beauties can surprise lots of people! Hope some will find out and buy them as they are great.
Hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful roses. You must have a green thumb and a passion to have such a variety of flowers and trees.
ReplyDeleteDearest Daniela,
DeleteBoth of us are the son and daughter of a market gardener; so we got dirt under our finger nails. YES, it is a passion and we will keep that alive for as long as we live. It is so rewarding!
Hugs,
Mariette
So beautiful, Mariette! You are so good with flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, these look so romantic and like real roses. One cannot resist them.
DeleteHugs,
Mariette

They are very beautiful, Mariette! They compliment your lovely vase so perfectly. I do love the colors - so rich. They look like velvet. Hugs xoxo

Baci,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,

Wow Mariette sono bellissimi questi fiori,regalano armonia,stupendi anche i vasi!!;D

Sabry!!
Cara Sabry,
DeleteInsieme con i vasi è certamente sottolineato la bellezza di questi gerani come mini rose...
Anche voi un buon weekend e bacio,
Mariette
Mooie bloemen en zo prachtig opgemaakt in de vazen.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteDeze geraniums hebben echt mini-roosjes. Dat kun je ook goed zien met de 5 Dollar cents die naast het kleine zilveren vaasje liggen.
Fijn weekend en liefs,
Mariette
Your flowers are amazing , your vases too dear Mariette!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you a sweet kiss!
Dearest Olympia,
DeleteThank you for your compliment. Those geraniums produce the sweetest little rosebuds and in the tiny vases they look so sweet!
Hugs and kiss to you,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletewundervolle Blüten in teuren, einmaligen Vasen.
Ein Arrangement, das nicht zu überbieten ist.
Einen sonnigen Start ins Wochenende wünscht Dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteDie Vasen sind so klein aber sehr fein. Die kleinste ist eigentlich eine silbere Schaltfläche von einen Spazierstock die ich auf eBay ganz preisgünstig gefunden habe. Niemanden hat geboten und ich hatte sofort einen Zweck im Gedanken!
Auch ein schöner sonniger Start in dein Wochenende.
Lieber Gruss,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette, these are beautiful!! what a lovely way to start my day of catching up on blog reading and social media. The extreme heat has been a challenge in our rose garden too ~ Mr. G. has managed to bring a few precious blooms into my writing studio.
ReplyDeleteYour renovations are looking fabulous! Love that you now have proper lighting going to your gorgeous gazebo - wow truly a labour of love to have it moved. Pieter is such a wonderful soul to be taking on all these projects, creating the perfect setting for you both and your furbabies. The colour choice is brilliant ~ we too are having to decide a colour for our home in the country. The renos at my city home continue and have me driving back and forth between city and countryside ... sorry I haven't been by as much as I would like to. Hopefully I can get back into my regular reading/visits soon. Keeping you in thought and prayers. HUgs and blessings, C. (HHL)
Dearest Celia,
DeleteOnce you are in that reno-mode it takes up almost all of your energy. Glad it is getting done and as for the roses, there will be other years coming. It is hard to fight the elements! But for having such sweet geraniums that produce mini-rosebuds is a true joy. I just mentioned in German that I found that mini rosebud vase on eBay as a lone cap for a walking cane, that nobody bid on. With its flat top part I knew right away what I would use it for! Thanks for your visits and you will get to see more of the home revealed.
Hugs to you and make sure you rest up!
Mariette
che spettacolo!!!!!!! fiori meravigliosi!!!!! un abbraccio e buon w.e. Lory
ReplyDeleteCara Lory,
DeleteNon pensi che queste sono in realtà i gerani invece di Rose.
Sono piccole gemme in forma de rose...
Buon weekend a voi e baci,
Mariette
Oh, my! These are exquisite. I've not seen this rose before. I must look for these. Thank you for sharing these special blooms.
ReplyDeleteDearest Sarah,
DeleteIt is not a rose however; but instead it is a geranium in the form of mini-rosebuds. You can see the 5 dollar cents that I placed next to that tiny silver vase. Links for buying these you find under my post.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Preciosa flores Mariette. Disfrútalas porque alegran mucho la vida. Tienen un colorido especial y maravilloso. Besos.
ReplyDeleteQuerida Enma,
DeletePor cierto voy a disfrútalas y con su color os alegran mucho. Son siempre pequeños cosas que danos alegria.
Besos,
Mariette
Beuatiful flowers and I love the vases.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Dearest Elna,
DeleteThanks for your visit and for liking these geraniums.
Those vases are a treasure find!
Hugs,
Mariette
Fiori incantevoli, sicuramente ti regalano bellezza e profumo negli angoli della tua meravigliosa casa. A presto. Paola
ReplyDeleteCara Paola,
DeleteGrazie per le tue parole. Sono le piccole cose nella vita che ne regalano belleza...
Baci,
Mariette
Oh they are gorgeous!! I love pink, apple, and red combination very much. Makes them look very sweet :-) The arrangement of only red is beautiful and gives such elegant look! The rose vase is so beautiful, too. Oh I enjoyed your photos very much!
ReplyDeleteDearest Tamago,
DeleteOnce again this is living proof how very little things can give so much pleasure. That tiny vase next to the 5 cent coin, is actually the handle of a walking cane. Guess an old Victorian model in silver from which the cane deteriorated and I could snatch it for almost nothing as nobody bid on it but I saw a potential for a cute mini vase for these tiny Rosbud geraniums. Thanks for liking and enjoying them too!
Hugs,
Mariette
Your flowers are gorgeous and Oh my goodness, that vase is to die for!!!
ReplyDeleteDearest Victoria,
DeleteGlad you too love them. I have three very special silver rose vases; all small to very small but they are forever keepsakes and with just one single flower in them they do stand out.
Hugs to you and happy weekend!
Mariette

I love you and Pieter has wonderful renovations with all of in the contryside your home.
Yesterday I has not happy with the dentist but nothing wrong in my tooth and next 29th July day I will has new tooth after that last days of August.
this is nothing to do anymore....
Hugs and love to you!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteThank you for visiting and for the special love! So your teeth will get done by the end of August. Finally that has been taken care of too. You went through so much for having to replace many of your teeth. If they say that motor biking is the most dangerous hobby, it also statistically causes fatal accidents; 35 times more than a passenger car. But you became a victim too, as a pedestrian. So sorry for what you had to live through. But you are a strong lady and have come a long way. For that I admire you a lot.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletewunderschön sind die Blüten und ganz zauberhaft das Väs´chen -
