rose love



I've been wrapped up in blog hopping lately, trying to visit all of the beautiful creative spaces
of women all over the world who joined Karen Valentine's party.

I love the Where Blogger's Create event and look forward to seeing
where so many of you make your beautiful art.




I was going to link my garden blog to the party too, but it was all I could do to get the 
studio in shape for photos. 
It's always such a wreck in there.
But to me that's the fun of having a separate place to create...leaving the mess.




Before I had the studio space I would have to create in different areas of the house.
(mostly the kitchen table or kitchen island)
I would have to gather all my 'stuff' up at the end of the day 
or at meal time and that was such a bother.
(that is---when I used to cook) : )




In my garden is where I really love to create though.

Where I love growing things like these roses in my photos.




I found this old blue kettle at a yard sale one sunny afternoon a few years ago.

We stopped at the home of an old gentleman who's mother had passed away,
and she had many treasures like this kettle. 
When I went up to pay him for my things, he asked me what I was going to do
with the junk.

'Treasures' I said...'they are treasures'.




  Now for some of the roses blooming right now in my garden.
Where I really love to create!

rose---
Morden Blush
and 
Annabelle hydrangea 






rose---
Guy de Maupassant




rose---
Lambert Closse 



I really like the form of the Lambert Closse blossoms.




such a hardy and vigorous rose in my garden




 not to mention---the perfect pink! 




rose---
Aunt Honey
with clematis






rose---
Adelaide Hoodless
a pretty cherry red and so far it's surviving in the shade.
It's getting scraggly though so
eventually I will have to move it, but that will have to be next year.



my new little Mary Rose


It's one of the many David Austin roses I bought this Spring.
I hope it makes it through our cold, cold Winters.


I love it and all the others I bought and planted this Spring.



For more of the things I love to grow in my 'creative space' you can visit
my garden blog Grace Gardens.

Your garden is truly paradise! I love the way your flowers look in that perfect blue kettle! Hope you are enjoying your summer!

Olive said...

The tea kettle is a perfect treasure and probably could tell some stories. The roses are brilliant. It is almost too hot here to garden but I vow to get up at 6am and valiantly pull weeds. Somebody has to do it. Xoxo, olive

NanaDiana said...

June- Your photos are just so very beautiful. Love that you told the old man those were treasures (not junk). Your roses are just gorgeous. I just planted my first rose bushes on this property this summer. Would you believe while we were on vacation the man that cut our lawn mowed them down? They were marked, too. I don't know how he missed them. I think I am able to save the two he hit-we'll see- xo Diana

June your garden looks to be doing beautifully again this year. WE have had it so hot this year that everything seems to be struggling. I just planted 13 more lavender and they don't look too great already-
Have you had alot of hot this year up there?

I love David Austin roses and have 5 so far here - several of yours are new to me and I am going to have to put those beauties on my list!

Just love looking at your beautiful pictures!

Picked chokecherries and in process of cooking and straining for juice- still need to make the juice into jelly but that is another day!

Good evening Sweet June

I so love seeing your roses, June.
I just started planting roses last summer, and added a lot more this year. Visiting other bloggers gardens has been so enjoyable for me this year, especially seeing everyone's roses.
Thank you for sharing your lovely flowers with the rest of us.
It's sheer bliss.

So beautiful June...

Pondside said...

Ah, June, you've transported me! I have a version of that very kettle, and when I get home from this business trip I'm going to fill it with roses. More inspiration from your blog - I love it!

White Lace and Promises said...

Oh, June, you've made me smile. It's been a hard day for me and reading your post was a delight! I love pink and I can just smell the roses.

I wish I like to garden. I just can't bear the heat no matter the reward! My mama was master at gardening. I picked flowers all my life and in the spring, we dug up lillies and amaryllis to replant. They all died. Maybe they will resurface next year. I sure hope so since we hope the house will sell soon.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow, dear June, you have a dream garden!!!! I love roses too! Have a nice week, hugs, Barbara

Shabby chic Sandy said...

I was drawn to your post when I saw that lovely photo of the pink roses in the aqua pot--what is prettier than that?! My favorite colors together. Your gardens are gorgeous. I love all the pink. I would love to have an all pink and white garden. I have David Austin roses, Wildeve and Eden. Love them! Our winters here in Oregon are not to harsh and they are against the house so I am hoping for the best. They are my favorite roses ever--just love them. Enjoyed your post!

Dorthe said...

Dear June, ME TOO- my workroom/studio looks alwayes messy, and not at all pretty, so I just enjoy all the other wonderful studios shown,like you :-)
I also SOOO enjoyed this post, and all your beautiful and stunning roses,-the Morden Blush is so lovely, I wonder if we can get that here in Denmark--I will ask, as I need some more soft coloured roses like that.
And isen`t it great thet treasures for each and everyone are not the same,--- in that way there will alwayes be something for all of us!! Love the blue kettle with the bouquet inside.
Hugs and love,Dorthe

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

Dear June,
As always, your garden is stunning. I am always a little envious of your roses, as it's very difficult to grow them in my north facing back garden but, I do have a wonderful David Austin rose in the front of the house ( which is south facing) called St. Swithins. Also. I have some ramblers in the back garden that do quite well. I think one is similar to one that you have from your photos. Is that a pink rambler that I see ?
I adore that shabby blue kettle and, the lovely thing is that , although the man who sold it to you called it 'junk', it will go on being used in such a beautiful way...... I hope his wife is looking down and giving you the 'thumbs up' !!
After what seems like months of rain, we now have temperatures up in the 80's and I really hope that it holds out for The Olympics. It should be OK for the Opening Ceremony but looks like it will cool down by the weekend. You never know what you might get here in England. If it snowed tomorrow we wouldn't be suprised !!
Hope that you and your family are well June. I haven't posted as I'm getting to know my new computer and I'm waiting to get all of my photos etc. transferred from my old computer to this new one. Hopefully, I will be up and running soon.
Enjoy your beautiful garden June and think of poor roseless me when you are cutting those beautiful
blooms !! Much love. XXXX

Градината ви е невероятна, толкова много сортове приказни рози...

Hello June!

I never tire of your beautiful home and garden. You have so many gorgeous roses! I have a few bushes, but there's too much shade around here for more than that. So I will live vicariously through you.

Oh beautiful June,

I think that a woman's space reflects her soul, her spirit, her style. From your profile picture, I can see you are quite the beauty. By your home, I KNOW you are a queen with a heart for all things peaceful and good. I LOVE THAT BLUE KETTLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Anita

June, your gardens are absolutely breathtaking! And the blue kettle with the roses, definitely a treasure. Love the yummy color!

flowersandhome said...

Took a stroll in your garden already. You have so many plants in so many varieties. Your garden is like a dream. Love the many different coloured and shaped daylilies and of course the many roses!!!! I'm happy with one rose coming to bloom while in your garden there's a waterfall of roses looking all so very healthy and happy. Love the blue kettle, it really is a treasure. I love the combination of pale blue and pinks and reds. This was such an enjoyable post again June. Thank you so much for taking the time to create so much beauty and then create a post about it. It must indeed be a dream to have a place where you can leave the mess. I don't have that and often I just don't start a project because I have to start dinner sometime later and then there's the ironing and the kids have to come home from school and someone will come over and... well, by the time everything would be ready to start 'creating', I'd just have to start putting everything away again. And then again... sometimes... it's a mess anyway... ;-) But you're so right, it's so much fun to create in the garden. Do keep creating!
Bye,
Marian

Hi June. The blue teapot and the roses are just delicious. And I love your roses, the Lambert Closse is just exquisite. You must not have the heat that we've had here. The roses just mostly gave up.

Ana said...

Oh June,
It's been sooo gloomy here lately :-/ Looking at your beautiful pictures just lightened and brightened my day my sweet friend. I mean it when I say your beautiful pictures always fill my heart with joy...especially the ones of your garden. You have an amazing photographic eye. Love it.

Much love,

Julia @ Vintage with Laces said...

Oh, dear June, I'm mesmerized and can hardly take my eyes off the pictures of your pretty kettle filled with all the roses in such pretty soft shades. What a treasure you had found at that yard sale and you have made the kettle look even prettier with your gorgeous flower decoration.
Your garden is certainly a most awesome creation and your photos are always eye-candies. I enjoy every visit very much.
Have a great week :-)!
Hugs to you,

june-your gardens are truly to die for! what beauty I have found here. that kettle is just precious. I've never seen what that wonderful colored patina..your blog is always refreshing & so pretty....xo chris

Cindy said...

I can tell that of all the things you do, you love your gardening the most. I like the shape and form of the Lambert Closse rose too... it's hard to define what it is about it, seems kinda loose, with really pretty edges, and it cups so nicely... you say it's hardy? and is it also fragrant? your roses are just wonderful, and i love the fabulous blue kettle you found too...

Cindy

Sandy~Romantique Inspirations~ said...

Hi June,

What a great find.... the blue kettle is darling.... love the color and it surely is a biggy too! Of course looking at your flowers are always a beautiful sight. With my husband and I just moving almost a year ago, getting the yard the way I want is going to take some time to plant gorgeous flowers.

Well take care.... sending hugs~

Anne Lorys said...

June, would you PLEASE start selling your photographic art? It is just divine. I promise that I would be your best customer. :-)

XO,
Anne

wendy said...

Oh my JUNE....your roses are lovely, but I would have expected nothing less.
I bet that older man was thrilled to hear you call that old kettle "a treasure".
It truly is.
You turn everything you touch into something quite magical.

koralee said...

your roses are stunning...I must plant a rose bush...I would love a climbing one on the side of my porch...pink is perfect! Thank you for sharing..hope your summer days are filled with joy.

Draffin Bears said...

Hi June,

As always, your place is one I love to come and visit.
Your garden is very beautiful... the old shabby blue kettle with the roses is perfection.
I had a Mary Rose, David Austin rose, which unfortunately did not make it.
Roses just don't do well here, with living near the sea and bad soil.
However I do have a photo on my blog up near the top on my side bar and it was such a gorgeous pink.

Have a great week
Hugs
Carolyn

Hi June, if I had a garden like yours, you would never find me inside ... I'd be out there all the time enjoying all those blooms and breathing in all that fresh air. So humid here today .. and with the heat, we are stuck inside all the time. So I create (and clean when I have to). Have a great rest of the week. :) Tammy

Carole said...

Oh June your roses always makes me want to plant more myself but I'm getting lazy and not wanting the extra work. I think our extreme humidity and heat takes a toll on them. I'm thinking of planting White Out this Fall just for their ease. No Spraying!

hugs my sweet friend,

Junebug said...

Well Missy, I can't believe it is taking me so long to get around to your blog, since it is one of my favorites! That blue kettle is truly a treasure. Your roses are beautiful and look so healthy. I am fighting black spot with mind and right now I'm loosing the battle. I've tried various methods and nothing is working. So I have bare stock with pretty roses on the ends. Not attractive. Got any suggestion? So look out I just may move into you rose garden since mine is icky!

Keep enjoying this summer for they tend to go faster and faster!!

The other June!!

Ivy and Elephants said...

Oh beautiful, I don't have a green thumb, but I would love to have a yard full of roses!! I love having a craft room I close the door o too, It is not the best room in the house, but I had to weigh the ability to shut the mess away and come back with it all just where I left it!

Oh how lovely. I have always wanted to get a Mary Rose, as there was a really special lady called that in my family, she was like a second grandmother to me and sadly passed away a few years ago. She gave me my love of taking plant cuttings. Your garden is such a delight. Catherine x

I love the color of that old tea pot. Funny how something you wrote to me about color caused me to rethink things around my home. I love a the colors of my garden but I didn't have them in my home or clothing. That all changed, I have embraced my garden colors in moderation. Now that most of my house is white, the colors stand out better. Thanks for reminding me to put color into my life.

Hi, June,
The Lambert Closse rose is a new one to me. I am with you though, love that color and form!! All of your roses are gorgeous, and I love the other flowers you have combined them with. The roses in the blue teakettle are perfection, my friend. Have a happy week! Vicki

suziqu's thread works said...

OMG June! I'm in heaven again just having surfaced from Where Bloggers Create!
Your arrangement in that blue kettle is so welcoming and simply rose stunning! It gives so much pleasure to be able to pick a bunch like that and bring it inside!
Every shot is superb and am glad to see Mary's Rose is doing well and hope all the other DA's are doing well too!
At least in your garden studio there is plenty of room to spread your wings and never any need to make it look neat and tidy as Nature takes care of everything with just a bit of pruning and cutting back here and there.
I know where your heart is happiest at present and enjoy every second there my sweet friend.
Life is too precious not to take each moment you can out there.

Sending you big warm hugs and love
from frosty mornings and clear blue skies of Winter,

I love all the interesting names of the different roses. Now, wouldn't it be fun to BE, the "namer of roses"
And, I love the old tea kettle.
