Finally I can pick roses in my garden, here’s the first vase of the year. It contains Madame Alfred Carrier, Redoute, and Glamis Castle.  They smell as good as they look!

BEAUTIFUL!!! I was supposed to have roses – like the one in the top right picture – in my wedding bouquet…at my florist’s suggestion. Then she used camillia’s instead. I was a very unhappy camper about that!!

Those pics remind me I have two Rose plants at my folks house. What do you know, a blog post by you that will only cost me effort and no cash.

Angela – Camillias are nice, but they can’t replace roses in a bridal bouquet! I can see why you were annoyed, I would have been too x

Teresa & Mel, glad you liked them x

Ian, go get those rosebushes, free cut flowers!. See told you I was thrifty… umm don’t read tomorrows post it might cost you ;)

Beautiful roses. Mine have been getting soaked in this Florida rain and are looking for sunshine. Can’t wait until I have some new blooms to cut!

Your roses are just lovely. I can almost smell them ; O ) I love them floating in a bowl on my kitchen counter or coffee table.
Thanks for sharing.
