So beautiful Elizabeth. I love the smell of roses. ENJOY! xx

Would you believe.. I've just read a lovely poem about roses.. only a short one & can't find it again to share with you :( Something like.. angels rest at the tips of roses.. what a wonderful thought :)

Have a lovely Sunday.xx

I was always told ( cannot remember who it was) that you should always leave a garden you are new to for at least two years as this is the cycle for many plants. So glad I listened - my garden would be missing many beautiful plants if I had discarded them too early.

Our honey suckle took three years to decide it would flower - now it is huge and heavy with scent and blossom

What a lovely gift for you on this Sunday morning! My Grandfather loved roses... he used to do his grafting onto standards and his garden was a vision of scents and colours.
