"Confession Time" (And here is where all you ladies can Hiss and Boo at me ).During our married life I have only bought my wife a bouquet of flowers about six times, and she does enjoy flowers in the house. I always buy gifts for all the special occasions Birthdays etc, and they are usually something she can keep over the years, where as flowers end up in the trash can at the end of the week. So what I have done over the years is to also buy a rose for the Garden which is something that can be enjoyed year after year. We used to have 33 different varieties but have lost a few over the years, at present we have 21 different types, the latest which is called Ruby Anniversary as last Sept we celebrated 40 years of Marriage.
So below are a selection of the blooms from our garden which I have taken over the past couple of weeks and there are still a few which have not bloomed yet.
I have not named them all as we hope you will enjoy them as we do.
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST IS OUR FAVOURITE

You have a truly wonderful collection of roses!
ReplyDeleteA lovely series of rose photos. I think these make a marvelous gift for what better way to show your love than to be able to look at them every day. And also to pick a few to put inside the house :)

ReplyDeleteI have a confession (no disrepect to you) too, but i`m not a big fan of Roses. They may look beautiful, but they are a lot of hard work.
Beatiful roses!
ReplyDeleteWell, you old romantic you :) I think that is a lovely idea and so much better than buying cut flowers. I tried hard to choose a favourite but just couldn't, they are all really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLike Dean, I have found they need too much attention but they are lovely to look at in other people's gardens :)
Today is the day for flowers!!!! Great pictures - I will have to get some picture of my garden flowers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection of roses. The ones with the rain drops are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think this weekend was a busy time for posting flowers!
