Beautiful roses. Wish I could have them here but I would be inviting all of the snakes to come in to shed their skin on their thorns, so I will enjoy their beauty from afar. Janice
Janice, Snakes and roses are a combination I didn’t know about. The issue I had with grass snakes is lots of plants and a piece of slate it use to sun on. Slate can get really hot in the sun. May
Marie, Blaze is my red climbing rose I saw a lot of. I wish I knew the name of the rose in the photo. It was a beauty replaced with another type of climber. May
My dad was a rose grower. Even belonged to our town's rose club. While I love the idea of growing roses, we had a bed of (I think) Knockout Rose bushes in the side yard of our new home when we moved in. I tended them for one spring and summer, until I was well and truly over the tiny thorns. Friends of ours gladly took them off our hands, and I was so relieved to see grass growing in their place the following spring. (lol) If I were to ever try to grow roses, they would be like the ones my dad grew - not bushes. His made lovely cut flowers, and the thorns were obvious and somewhat avoidable. ;^)
Those are very pretty roses. I love roses and have several bushes in my garden. I call them by their names and have introduced them to my grandchildren.

For me, it was my grandmother’s roses, similar to those in the photo! Great memories. Thank you for the reminder.

ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful that you tell your grands the rose’s names.

I love that type of roses and I'd just bet they smell amazing too.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteThe scent of roses on the stem is the best perfume in the world next to orange blossoms and lilacs.
