The small white flowers are orange blossoms, they open during the month of April & smell very sweet with only a hint of orange. Hummingbirds LOVE them & so do paper wasps.
The round rosebud is a Hybrid Perpetual from 1842, they were specially bred to bloom more than the ancient roses did. These HPs were the forerunners of modern roses that definately bloom all summer long. The 1 in the pic DOES bloom from spring into summer & then lightly blooms intermittantly into autumn.
The last pic is of a miniature climbing rose & it's purple, doesn't get over 4 feet & spreads gently sideways; I say gently because of my other climbing mini "Hurdy Gurdy"-this red & white striped rose expands vastly sideways & up 8 feet plus & is very dense. The lavender climber is not densely leaved & I trim it to frame the window, or at least I am trying to.
