TODAY'S FLOWERS ~ 34 Roses Plus

Spring is blooming in full force, the mix and meld
of scent outside is enough to make your senses swoon.
Wisteria, Dendrobium Orchids alternating with Roses
and Philadephus....

This little Cecile Brunner Rose, less than 2"across,
exudes a gentle yet strong perfume



another rose with a small but fragrant flower covers
the side of one of our horse stables



Philadelphus that barely survived lat year's severe
drought is reviving again



one of our great joys, Souvenir de la Malmaison,
a perfumed wonder of sheer delight.



What would roses be without their friendship with
Lavender? Pink and blue make a perfect team.



Flowers speak a universal language, click on the Logo
and decode the Tower of Babel.

Eternal thanks to Luiz Santilli Jr. both for starting this meme
and, with the help of his team, keeping it going for all of us.

    It's delightful to relive spring again through your photos! Here in NC (US) fall is approaching. I especially like the very double pink rose and the lavender -- beautiful! Your photos are wonderful as always.

    Arija - it is lovely as all our plants are beginning to die back for winter to see your roses and to hear of your spring.

    These are exceptional roses! And what a wonderful sight at this time of year! I long for a sturdy white rose, but northern Indiana eats them and leaves crumbs....and the Japanese beetles.
    You are so lucky!

    XXOO!!

    Who can resist the smell of a rose. Unfortunately, most of the hybrids around here have no smell. I always look for the wilds. These are all gorgeous Arija. I'm so glad to see flowers blooming in your part of the world.

    PS.
    Many flowers are "perennial", I say they are produced the whole year in Holambra City in Brazil.
    Holambra is:Hollande+Brazil= Holambra!!

    I always lament the fact that so many roses are being bred without scent these days so I really enjoyed reading your post and imagining the fragrances.
