For the first time, in over 8 years, I'm sad I pulled all my roses out, even though they were a breeding ground for anything with eight legs and not as nice as yours. Just beautiful.

We have a couple of roses planted by the previous owner and I'm not sure what they are but I love them - they're red, yellow and small peach ones. Have a lovely week, hope the weather continues like today, just lovely.

Their scent and colours have me swooning regularly. I don't know any of their names or even the terminology, but I have been particularly enamoured by those that are peony like (doubles?).<br /><br />Yours are spectacular!sofia and otto's playgroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627954718506448697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7923203588659688051.post-36645533178875625822013-11-18T06:59:57.210+11:002013-11-18T06:59:57.210+11:00Those roses are incredible.
