rose love

roses-----I love 'em

can't seem to get enough of 'em

I always seem to take and share too many photos for one post, but it's just so hard not to

 so here are some of the bouquets I've been enjoying lately

pretty, 

even when they are sitting in front of a very dirty kitchen window

Colette rose in a pitcher in the living room

lovey,
especially when paired with a pot of Limelight hydrangeas

the rose bushes themselves have been badly chewed on by a lot of bugs this year,
so they look pretty sad by the end of summer
but they still produce enough blooms for beautiful bouquets

a little messy abandon going on in this part of the garden

but I kind of like messy!
