Those summers were some of my happiest. I grew particularly fond of the David Austin roses as I was able to grow them in pots, and their colors and fragrance were the best taken from the ancient roses.

I too am so fond of roses, especially soft pink ones... though we certainly do not have the variety as you do, there is a lovely area of the garden, running down the pathway, where blush roses grow. I so enjoy having them in my room when they are in bloom. There scent is so lovely, and their petals, so delicate... I need to learn more about these roses that you mention — the variety is incredible.<br /><br />Hope you are having a wonderful week :)<br /><br />xx, Sarah<br /><br />p.s your first house sounds fascinating!Sarah Klassenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929770496186549808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478044692546631790.post-68091179054480640552011-07-06T22:40:01.347-04:002011-07-06T22:40:01.347-04:00Francine!

Their scent and beauty are magnificent and so very calming. I use to shy away from rose scented perfumes thinking that only old women favored that scent. I couldn't of been more wrong. You always take the most gorgeous photos. I hope your 4th of July was a great one with your family?<br /><br />Cheers ~ Deb xDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6478044692546631790.post-1118847681325935362011-07-04T03:45:42.977-04:002011-07-04T03:45:42.977-04:00Just lovely...

Our back garden faces north and I only have a couple of ramblers as, most roses don't like my back garden !! I do have a few in pots though....but.....I have a beautiful David Austin climber in the front, climbing up our house called St Swithin's ( bought for my husband on his birthday which falls on St. Swithin's day ). It is an old fashioned variety and flowers all summer long, on and off.<br />I have always bought rose fragrances and have a lovely french one that I have just finished, so must get some more.

She lovingly cared for them and there would always be a gorgeous vase full of roses on her dining room table.<br />Maybe because I was little then, but her roses seemed so big -- huge blooms I could put my whole face into.
