Last week we had our first snow..
If you missed it
and would like to see my winter wonderland
while staying warm at home,
no boots required!
(click photos to enlarge)
Even after the first snow melted
these Ballerina Roses hadn't faded....
So I had to rescue them
before round two and the deep freeze came...
A perfect spot of happy pink in the window...
To cheer even the coldest day!
The Last Rose of Summer
TIS the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone,
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
To give sigh for sigh.
Thomas Moore
But, as every gardener believes in their heart,
Next year will be even better!!
Come get your Pink on
and visit PINK SATURDAY...
and check of Hakan's lovely new party
Thanks for stopping by...

Such a pretty rose. Looks lovely in the pink depression goblet.
I was so enamoured with the rose I forgot to say...Happy Pink Saturday. Hey, I'm having a giveaway!
Hi Bella~ What beautiful photos!! I love how the pink roses look with your silver tray~ just gorgeous! :)
It's just shocking to think how long you've had roses. Very sweet to see. I'm glad you brought them in out of the cold! Very pretty setting! JQ
Happy Pink Sat., Jillian!! I know you're glad you rescued those lovely roses from the snow!!

Can't believe you STILL have roses after that blanket of snow. You must be a very good witch! (or whitcht as SweetCheeks says). Hugs- Diana

Where have I been? I just found your beautiful blog. Love it! Newest follower and would be delighted for you to follow me back at www.beatricebanks.blogspot.com
Happy PS!
I enjoyed your blog and the the post of beautiful pink roses. They are one of my favorite flowers. I have had some really nice ones in the spring and summer. They are all gone now.
How gorgeous, the last rose is hard to see go. Your lighting is great, they almost sparkle in the light. Happy Pink Saturday.
Oh, so touching! We have been in California for a week and although everyone back east thinks were are enjoying "sunny California" it has been frosting here at night. Indeed, the last rose of summer. Happy Pink Saturday!
These are really beautiful. I can't believe they survived your snowstorm!!
Until next spring...

Dearest Bella,
Roses are tough flowers and can endure quite a lot of weather changes! They look lovely inside and they give you this year's last joy of roses...
Have a great weekend!

It sounds strange to hear people talk about it snowing, but then again here in the south, we usually don't get snow until at least Febuary if not March. Your flowers are very pretty. Nice to have a touch of color after the snow, I'm sure. Happy Pink Saturday!
Gorgeous!
Ballerina is a fantastic rose. It never finishes to bloom. I have Ballerina in my garden, still blooming (a few) in spite of the freezing mornings.
I used this poem last year on my blog to illustrate one of my paintings. I love it.

*sigh* those are so so gorgeous!!
Thanks for sharing.
Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi Bella,
Oh you had some snow already! I see I missed that post. Just had a scroll, your house looks like something out of a movie. So pretty!
Enjoy your last summer roses!
Lieve groet, Madelief

So bittersweet to see those last roses.I like to think of winter in the garden as a rest and the snow as sugar.

Those snow pictures were so amazing, its like everything in your garden was frosted and glittered, I was stunned to see how much color you still had there. And the pictures of the house and outbuildings were so lovely, makes me almost wish for snow (almost!).
That are so lovely and delicate looking though they must be pretty hardy to have made it this far. Have a great Pink Saturday.
Bella,'
Those are just gorgeous! What a pretty picture with them on that silver tray.
Sherry
Oh Bella, Your pictures are always so lovely and delightful! Happy Pink Saturday!
Hugs,

How lovely your rose is, and such a befitting setting to show it off. Happy PS
Goodbye sweet roses!
Happy Pink Saturday, Bella.
These are beautiful, and I love that some blooms manage to survive such cold. They are like a special gift.
I believe the last of our rose blooms froze last night.
The first time I saw this rose was at the Birmingham Rose Show a few years ago and I was struck by its beauty. You have truly captured its beauty here. Thanks for sharing it with us.
so beautiful. your pictures are always delightful Bella. thank you for being so inspiring...:)
Have a blessed week ahead.
Love,
Ruth
