Perfection

One of my favourite flowers are roses. My favourite rose is called Double Delight. Today my hubby cut some of our roses and in came 3 pieces of perfection - sweetly scented, creamy centered with outer petals tipped with vibrant hot pink - pure perfection. 3 Double Delights mingled with other roses from our garden, our kitchen is now filled with the heady perfume of roses.

  6. thanks everyone for coming over to comment, they are just the most delightful rose, I love the way the pink edges get darker the longer the rose is left on the bush.

    @the elephant's child - we don't prune until June here and with the long summer the roses have been divine.

    @mybabyjohn - he is the best hubby a girl could find, even nearly 34 years on.

    @A Farmer's Wife, I only found them about 15 years ago and have loved them ever since.

    @Thea - heavenly scent is right

    @PPMJ - very pretty, with the most heady scent, I am even thinking of getting another rose bush of these to plant

  9. @Melissa - I just love the smell of roses, each a little different to the other.

    @E - lol - rose envy - they are not too much work to have in the garden, but I suppose it depends on climate. My hubby just prunes them once a year and fertilises them occasionally.
