Roses lend grace and perfume to our gardens.
Whether you have one solitary Rose bush or
one thousand, they speak of love and hope and
healing. They comfort us in our need and pick us
up when we are down. Their buds are graceful as
a young girl or full blown like a comely matron.
They are an Angel's breath and a wayfarer's delight.
So here once more, I give you Roses.
'Charles Austin' in bud on a six foot bush,
and open to a perfection of cupped petals.
Climbing 'Sympathy' a rose of distinction for mass
effect, scent and repeat flowering, holding well when
cut and just taking your breath away when out in force.
A glowing vermillion interloper lighting up the
garden with its exhuberant lust for life.
A peep into the heart and shadowed mystery.
To 'Just joey' lighting up the day like a candle
in the night.
To Luiz, Denise and Laerte who slave to give us
this meme, my hearfelt thanks.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses, Arija. I can hardly wait for spring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ♥ I especially love the Charles Austin.
ReplyDeleteI filled some vases yesterday with beautiful, fat orange roses! Alas, they are not the fresh, garden variety that you show here, as we are all greys, silvers, and brown at the moment! Your blog reminds me of what's to come!!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, my heart is singing.... thank you for sharing your lovely lovely roses.... I'm so looking forward to see the first wonderful and magical signs of spring here.... ;)
