Just exquisite. Perfect blooms, perfectly captured.

You asked about starting perennial sweetpeas, whether it's too late. I would ask a nursery person in your area, as perennials may be quite differently handled than annuals. Let us know how that goes.

Arija said...

Of all the stunning roses in the world, I think the pale pink and delicate apricot shades are my favourites with all their differnet scents and and shades. Your Roses are just lovely, as are you my dear. You are so often in my thoughts.

stadtgarten said...

Dear Anna, what a lovely rose! Do you know her (or its) name?
Your post reminds me of our visit to Eltville, the city of roses, where we have been together last september and I can see you standing in front of the beds of roses taking pictures.
Good luck for today - my thoughts are with you!
Love, Monika

Roses and Lilacs said...

I agree, form, color, scent, they are just about the perfect flower. I am cutting mine back now because of the Japanese beetle invasion. No point letting them bloom only to be destroyed. I hope you never have that problem in your area.

Fabulous!

Rose said...

These are absolutely perfect, Anna! No flower can compare to the beauty of a rose--and pink is my favorite color in the garden.

Julie said...

Hi, Anna,

I can no longer garden anymore, but I still have my beautiful hardy shrub roses - 6 in all. All of them were bred in Morden - I'm sure you know where that is - so I knew when I bought them they would be hardy in our ND winters. (I think your Ontario climate is actually better than ours here).

My roses are all in bloom now - one light pink, a white, a yellow, two hot pink and a red. They give me so much pleasure.

You are always in my thoughts and prayers, my dear.
