A Week of sunshine has done wonders in the garden..
the roses are happier,
and so am I...
(click photos to enlarge)
This sweet rose was poking through the front porch railing..
It's name is Sweetness...
well named, I believe:-)
I have tried to remember this roses name...
it completely eludes me.
I love the ruffled edges on the petals!
This is Burgundy Iceberg...
floating in a bed of delphiniums...
A couple of days ago in my purple passions post (here)
I had a purple rose in a vase.
Everyone loved it so much,
I thought I would show it here on the bush,
It is Enchanted Evening.
It is newly planted this year,
Her mature height will be four feet.
This is April in Paris...
I love her scent!
Here is a bud on the April in Paris
The light was shining on her so pretty...
and last for today is
Queen Elizabeth...
She really is the rose queen in my garden..
I have several of her.
She is almost nine feet tall
and blooms abundantly all season.
This spring I planted a staggered row of her,
down the center of one of my flower beds
to form a wall.
As soon as she starts to fill in I'll give you a peek:-)
That's the end of the rose tour for today..
Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!
You can go view more lovely flowers
from around the world at Today's Flower!
and for the first time I am joining...

Wonderful Bella..they are as beautiful as your name! I have a rose garden for the first time and each morning I go out to look at them with my coffee. I just like to gaze at them and pinch myself. I love all the names of yours...you could write a sonnet to them:)
Best wishes for a great week!

Your roses are beautiful! I've never seen so many lavender-ish colors, and the ruffle on the second one is very nice-enjoy!
Such beautiful roses!!

Oh such beautiful roses. I can almost smell them .
One of my favourites is Queen Elizabeth too but that first one sweetness is such an unusual colour.
your roses are obviously very happy, what do you feed them?

What beautiful roses and what a beautiful garden and cottage you must have!
The colors of these are wonderful.

You have such a lovely collection of putples. Do you have Angel face and Fragrant Plum? The latter is also, like Charles de Gaulle, a quite tall rose. They all have a wonderful scent.
You have such beautiful roses. I wish I had remembered all the names of mine. I have one purple bush and I just love it. With a blog named Purple Chocolat Home I should have a lot more! What a lovely collection. Mine were so happy for so long. I did a Summer Sunday on it last week and now with the heat of this week, they are all burned. Glad I got photos earlier. Have a wonderful Sunday. I'm off to visit your purple passion.
Oh Bella....I love your Blog... your roses are sooooooo beatiful.. I come again...
