Nana’s Rose

When we spotted the junior version of this rose in a small local garden centre, we knew we had to have it.

Madame’s much-loved grandmother had one of this variety in her garden and the wonderful scent transports her back to her childhood.

Two roses

These roses in our son’s garden in Oxfordshire were a particularly delicate shade of pink.

Raindrops on roses #3

A familiar subject and one I’ve ‘done’ a couple of times before.

This image is different to the others, but as I’ve said before, don’t expect whiskers on kittens any time soon.

The White Rose

This rose climbs on a trellis in our garden. The petals are pure white, but the ‘working parts’, as it were, are vibrant yellow and orange.

A Deckchair Made Of Roses

This is not something you see every day. Unless you happened to be at the Festival of Roses in Douai La Fontaine a couple of years ago.

Pink Enough?

Cee’s theme for her CMMC challenge this week is ‘pink’. Will this do?

Red, Red Rose

This dark red rose also has a wonderful scent.

Eglantine

I believe that this variety of rose is known as Eglantine and it’s a very old one. It’s also pink, with a yellow heart, so suitable for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week.

Heady

Who can resist the heady scent of roses?
