From my kitchen window I can look out on these beauties. The colour of these roses are so rich and the rose bush is absolutely covered with blooms right now. They make me smile.
I don't really have favourites, but it's these pink roses that I can't get enough of. Their scent is intoxicating and I always take time to "stop and smell the roses" - which is probably providing some amusement to my neighbours as this rose bush is located beside our driveway. Yes, that means I do stop to sniff the blooms each time I pass them - when I head out for a walk, when I'm leaving to do errands or when I'm carrying out the trash. Roses are meant to be enjoyed, I figure.
So, I may not be a great gardener, but I can certainly appreciate the treasures of a garden.

Beautiful photos! One thing my yard does not have is roses, but looking at these beauties makes me think about adding some in.
And you are a great gardener! I remember the beautiful flower bed you created at your last house... you are just saving your ideas until the yard is yours. With your talent for colour, I can only imagine the garden you would create!
I love those pink roses by your driveway and I have stopped to smell them each time I am there too. They remind me of the handcream that my Nana used to keep by her kitchen sink and use on her hands all the time.
oh my, K! these are so beautiful! aren't we lucky to have such beauties in our lives? and aren't your roses lucky to have YOU to treasure them and sniff them every time you pass by! Love that image!
I am with you on how seductive they are. I was at the garden centre today and their rose section was absolutely incredible - it made me want to buy every one I could see - they were all SO gorgeous.
Instead I bought a variegated buddleia. It's called Harlequin. I think I half bought it because of the name...
