roses---roses---roses

I love how cut roses brought into a room have the power to beautify in
 such a way that no other adornment can.
 

You can almost feel a sudden sense of life and a feeling of peace infuse the space.

the roses in this pot are Guy de Maupassant

Just having them sitting here in the living room makes me more contented
with everything else in it.
They have a way of making everything else look prettier somehow.

A pretty Mary rose in the kitchen window is a reminder of how much I love summer
and the garden I have about me outside it.

It's just a plain windowsill until you place a vase of roses in it.

One of the roses that have been blooming in the garden lately is this Colette rose below.

It has finished it's first bloom cycle and soon will bloom again and all 

through the fall.

This is Morden Ruby
(a large shrub rose in a border by the horse fence)

The rose below (can't remember it's name) has a beautiful bloom,
but the bush is a scrawny thing in my garden.

The rose below is one of the many John Cabot roses in the garden. Love it!

Beautiful Persian Yellow rose blooms.

A simple, but beautiful rose bloom is the Red Leaf rose.

The bloom my be understated, but the color of the foliage is not!

It's a must in this garden.

One of my Adelaide Hoodless roses in the front border.

Two more large Adelaide Hoodless rose shrubs in the garden fill it with a
lovely light scent in the evenings.

And lastly in this post is this little shrub rose named

Marie Victorin.
