Roses have long been my favourite flowers, along with lilac and the beautiful simplicity of daisies.   A few years ago I planted a climbing rose, the name of which has long since been forgotten, which has so much enjoyed it’s position against an east facing garden wall that it now covers the wall completely and resembles more a rose tree than a plant. It’s blooms are a stunning blush pink colour and its’ perfume is heady and glorious.   I cut some blooms for the house today and took a few images as a reminder……………

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

William Shakespeare
