In front of our house, though not all the roses in the garden.
Renee de Violette
Jude the Obscure, a favorite of mine.
At last count there are 29 different roses in the garden.
Yes, we are a bit addicted, my live-in gardener and I.
The heat last week didn't help them much, so they
are looking a bit worn out now; but they will come back with vigor.
The photos were taken before the heat wave.
..........."If songs, like crimson roses,
Are plucked from thin blue air,
Why should mortals wonder
If God hears prayer?"
from Kitchen Sonnets, by Ethel Romig Fuller
Happy weekend, dear friends!
Enjoy the sunshine and stop to smell the roses along the way.
