2024年頃から感じていたことに、どうしていつもビビッドカラーの花しかないんだろうか。というのがあります。
私の住む街では、80年後半に駅前から港まで続く、長い6車線の大通り沿いに、チューリップが延々植えられていたことがあります。
丁度、廃刊してしまった”流行通信”で紹介されていたので、気が付いたのですが。
チューリップは球根から発芽しますので、前年の冬頃に土に植え込むので、雑誌で紹介される前に、既にその新しい品種のチューリップが、市役所か区役所の職員によってセレクトされ、植えられていたことになります。
たまたま電車を乗り違えたかどうかして、制服を着た私が淡い色のチューリップが並ぶ大通りを、花姿のモードセンスを頼りに歩いた記憶が今でも美しく残っています。
どうしたのだろう？ 毎年のことなのかな？ と大人の人達に尋ねてみても、具体的な情報は得られませんでした。
毎年そうだよ。と言う人もあれば、知らない、という人もいて、翌年はどうだったか記憶していないので、きっと私が目を見張ったチューリップは無かったのでしょうね。
90年代は、毎年、駅からの大通りにチューリップが並ぶ、とラジオで言っていたような気がします。
で、ある年に途絶えてしまったので、がっかりしていたんです。
ガーデナーを細々とやり続けながら、どうしてチューリップだけでなく、ビオラも薔薇もシックな色が無いのかな、と思ったことがあるんです。
2024年に、ブログかInstagramでガーデナー達がいち早く、黒いビオラを植えていたり、24年に紹介された、褪せた色合いの縁が波打っている淡色のビオラも、とうに植えられていたのを見て、何故か花の苗は原色が多く、シックなものが無い。と、やはり思いました。

2025年、素敵な名前を持つ庭の薔薇は、丁度5月の盛りを迎え、一斉に花開いています。
いつも読んで下さる皆さんにはお馴染みの薔薇を、今年も変わらずご覧頂いていますが。
実はあの薔薇達は、花屋さんには無いんですよね。
それで薔薇と言えば、皆さんにお馴染みのアノ形だけが、プレゼントや日常の花瓶を彩る花に使われているんでしょうね。
私は薔薇を大苗で購入して育てて咲かせているんですが。
バラを育て始めて知ったんですが、薔薇の品種は百を超えており、現在も薔薇の新しい苗が生まれ続けているのは、皆さんご存じでしたか？
新種の薔薇でヒット作があり、情報の早いロザリアン達は、ヒット品種の苗（市販分）をたちまち押さえてしまう、というのが毎年の風物詩です。
この多くは、国産のバラです。
「コンフィチュール」は、おそらく愛を語るテーブルでも、生育を祝う小さなベッドの傍でも、
「葵の上（Lady Aoi）」なんていう、源氏物語の登場人物の名を着けた、美しい禅的な雰囲気の薔薇もあります。
切り花にして花屋に置いてください。
するとガーデナーのこちらにも、切り花を贈りたいという方々にも、品種を生み出すラボの方々にも、
伽羅のリボンが似合う薔薇達を、

ベランダやお庭を立体的に構成すると、少ないスペースでも広いスペースでも、映えますよ。
数年前見かけて好きだったのは、新築のモダンハウスの玄関先。
門の外の小さなスペースに、大ぶりの素焼きで、たった一鉢に、選び抜いた1種類の花を植えていました。
こちらは引き算の感覚ですよね。
人の趣味は止めないし否定しないけど、ガーデニンググッズのファンシーさは、我々ガーデナーにとって、大きな困りごとの1つですよね。（ペタリ・・・、ペタリ・・。）

As a Pierre de Ronsard Gardener, I have already exceeded some double digit years through.
One thing I have felt since about 2024 is why are there always only flowers in vivid colors? This is the reason.
In my city, tulips were once planted endlessly along a long six-lane boulevard that ran from the front of the station to the harbor in the late 80s.
I noticed it because it was introduced in the “Trendy News” magazine, which had just gone out of print.
Since tulips germinate from bulbs, they are planted in the soil the previous winter, which means that the new variety of tulips had already been selected and planted by city or ward office employees before the magazine's introduction.
Whether I happened to catch the wrong train or not, I still have a beautiful memory of walking down the main street lined with light-colored tulips in my uniform, relying on my floral mode sense of dress.
I wonder what happened to me? Is this an annual thing? I asked the adults, but could get no concrete information.
It's like that every year. Some said, “I don't know,” while others said, “I don't know,” and I don't remember what happened the following year, so I'm sure there were no tulips that caught my eye.
In the 90's, I think it was on the radio that every year, tulips lined the main street from the train station.
And then one year they ceased to exist and I was disappointed.
As the nursery rhyme says, red, white, and yellow, tulips are very strong primary colors.
As I continued to work as a gardener in detail, I once wondered why there were no chic colors, not only for tulips, but also for violas and roses.
In 2024, I saw on a blog or Instagram that gardeners were among the first to plant black violas, and the light-colored violas with wavy edges in faded shades that were introduced in 24 were finally planted, and I wondered why there were so many primary colors in flower plants and nothing chic. I still wondered why there were so many primary colors and nothing chic.

For those of you who always read us, you are seeing the same roses that you are familiar with this year.
Actually, you can't find those roses in flower shops.
So, when it comes to roses, only the familiar shapes are used as gifts or to decorate vases in everyday life.
I buy roses as large seedlings and grow them to bloom.
I think that if we could grow roses that are not available separately at farms and sell them for cut flowers at flower shops so that they can reach the city people, roses would become more accessible.
When I started growing roses, I learned that there are over a hundred varieties of roses, and did you know that new rose seedlings are still being born today?
It is a yearly tradition that there is a new breed of rose that becomes a hit, and rosarians, who are quick with information, quickly seize the seedlings of the hit varieties (commercially available).
Note : Rosarian is a gardener who grows roses.
There are so many names of roses, such as “Sora,” “Evantaille d'Or,” “Laterale Vert,” “Soiree,” and many other elegant roses that remind us of light modish colors, camelias, and peonies.
The “Confiture” is perhaps at the table where you talk about love, or by the little bed where you celebrate growing up,
I think “Taffeta” would be a perfect surprise for your partner in the midst of the day-to-day.
There is even a beautiful Zen-inspired rose named after a character in the Tale of Genji, Lady Aoi.
Please buy roses with such beautiful names and figures as cut flowers at a florist.
Please cut them and put them in your florist's shop.
This will be good for gardeners, for those who want to gift cut flowers, and for the lab that products the varieties,
There are "many good things that come from these".
Roses that look good with Kyara(Silk) ribbons,
Please distribute them as cut flowers.

A three-dimensional composition of a balcony or garden can look great in a small or large space.
One of my favorite things I saw a few years ago was the front porch of a newly built modern house.
In a small space outside the gate, a single, large, unglazed pot was planted with a single type of flower that had been carefully selected.
This one has a sense of subtraction.
I don't stop or deny people's taste, but the fanciness of gardening goods is one of the major annoyances for us gardeners. (Petali... Petali...)
