We have 2 very big, old roses in the back that I believe are ground cover roses. My DIL was pruning branches that were mostly finished blooming while I gathered the large bunches and stuffed them into a bin. Each branch seemed to have a few blooms still looking pretty and I couldn't bear to leave them so I kept snipping the better ones and laying them aside. The stems were mostly too short for a vase but fit well into a gravy boat.
This branch was deemed worthy of its own 'vase'.
Now this pretty rose is not mine. We pass by it on our walk to the park/lake every day. Isn't it gorgeous?
After overnight showers the sun came out around noon today. It's just lovely out, 20 C (68F).
I'm hoping the rain stays away for the week but it maybe too much to hope for. Oh well, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
Thanks for visiting, G.M.
What a beautiful rose you have1 I like the glorious view into your rooms1 You really have a blesses home and it is full of love for humans and flowers.
ReplyDeleteThe second rose you show you us is really stunning! Like fire of love - -
many greetings from the Bavarian forest. This summer here is not so dry as the last two summers 2028 and 2019. A third dry summer would be the end for our sensitive forest - So we enjoy the rain, but we love the sun!
Have a wonderful new week!
Love it so much.
ReplyDeleteWe are having much the same weather, although the rain was very light. I just came in from sitting on the patio, enjoying the fresh air, with a light breeze blowing, and seeing my shrub roses cascading in pink froth.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are so lovely. That's my favorite flower. Sometimes you can luck out and catch a beautiful fragrance besides the beauty of the Rose. I hope yours smell good as well as look beautiful! Most of the florist roses don't seem to have the smell anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet your home smells wonderful with all those roses! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteDebi, the roses look lovely but have very little scent.
DeleteI always have trouble throwing away blooms that are still perfect and have to rescue them for a vase or two :)
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous roses. The branch is really stunning. My bush hasn't started blooming much yet.

What lovely flowers. I really like your header - did you paint those cards yourself? What talent!
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Unfortunately I have no talent for painting. Those pictures are from The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.
DeleteBeautiful roses! My father-in-law grew beautiful roses. But I'm not a rose gardener. So after we took over the property, it did not take many years before I had killed them all.
ReplyDeleteALL the roses are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo many different and beautiful roses. The striped one is unusual.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful arrangements. The roses look so good in the gravy boat, so very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh yes those roses are beautiful.
ReplyDeletethose are beautiful!!! the multi-coloured/striped one looks similar to one our neighbour has (but is already done for the year). Very lovely!!! I hope you get more sun! 20C sounds ideal! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's ever a time when your home isn't blessed with beautiful flowers. I love the roses!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses. I hate throwing away the not quite dead roses when I prune, too. The gravy boat is a great idea for short stems.
