I love roses, so we wandered through the city rose garden last night. The rose bushes were already past their prime, but a few blooms were still putting on a show. I wish I had taken pictures a couple of weeks ago when they were at their peak of perfection.
Glorious!!! another secret little dream of mine...to have a rose garden bed one day. I love them and their wonderful scent...
ReplyDeleteOh along with a kitchen herb garden bed outside my kitchen door, along with a small Koi pond, along with that Dream porch, along with.....oh dear, you get my drift.. NEVER stop dreaming...one day ...yes...they may come true.
In the meantime the pictures are wonderful to look at. :-) thanks for sharing. Hugs...
All of my roses bushes are special....a gift from my husband, a peach one I'm keeping until my daughter can plant it(some day) in her own yard....and some random bushes from a friend that passed away in April.
ReplyDeleteWe have a bush that blooms in dark pink....in the Spring we sprinkle the doorway with the petals.
How divine? I cant believe such a beautiful place I can smell it from here!
ReplyDeletei WAS VERY TEMPTED BY THE PAINTING YOU LIKED, IN FACT i AM STILL KIND OF TOYING WITH THE IDEA.....

What a beautiful place to go and enjoy the beauty of the roses and the serenity of this city garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing, Gayle.
We used to have a rose garden at Warner Park but they got rid of them and now there are stupid softball fields!!! I just love those flowers and their aroma!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful roses! Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty!! My climbing rose I planted this spring is doing well, but not climbing too much yet. I think it will next spring. I love roses too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! A person would have to feel happy in such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it to Loose Park to see the roses. I have been meaning to go there but just don't seem to make it. Thanks for taking photos so I could see the roses. Maybe I can make it for the second blooming.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Is this the rose garden in Columbus...it looks familiar to me. What a gorgeous place.
