ROSES IN OUR GARDEN

The roses are starting to open up in the garden, so I sent Paul round with the camera, to take some photo's to share with you.
Quite a few of the visitors on Sunday loved our roses, especially the scented ones.One lady commented that she loved that they were in amongst all the other flowers and on just on their own.

So starting with the one's in the back garden that are open.

  1. Guessing that I was right when I commented the other day that 'Everything in the garden was coming up ROSES!'
    All look absolutely beautiful (although not for me as I don't care for their prickles and they way they so often attract black fly!)

    1. Thanks Sharon. Paul's the one who remembers more of the names than me and we have left the names on a couple but a few of the names have escaped us! which is fatal as we'll probably land up buying the same one again!! :) xx

  4. Such beauty! You've quite cheered me up as I've had a quick look before setting off for the hospital again this morning, This is a larger version of what is due to coe here in a week or two - we don't have asmany orses as you and our season hasn't started yet.

    Thanks Paul for the picsand Dee for the words! A lovely post. xxx

    How do you remember the names???? I forget straight way and they become ' the pink rambler,' the climber on the house front,' the yellow bush rose Hannah gave us' etc!
