Hello dear friends,
Hope you are having a lovely week
Anyway, once again some more of my roses.
There is nothing quite like homegrown roses and how I wish you could share the sweet fragrance.
On Monday this little bunch was looking pretty on the bush and think this will be the last of them, before winter comes. They have done so well and happy to share them.
From time to time I like to bring the garden inside and as the last few days have been rainy and windy, thought these would look better in a vase where they could be admired. I love how they fade to a pretty pale pink. The ornament of the standard Schnauzer dog is there to remind us of our dog Oscar, we once had.
Victorias Youtube channel
Daughter Victoria has been enjoying making her You tube videos and they can be anything from DIY projects, her love of cooking, to taking a tour around the City of Auckland. She is passionate about putting one out a week, so please if you are able to take a look, would be great, thanks and she would be happy if you are able to subscribe.
Enjoy the rest of the week and wishing you a happy weekend ahead
hugs

Hi Carrie,
DeleteRoses are quite easy to grow, only need pruning and feeding with rose food every once in a while.

I never tire of seeing your roses, Carolyn. They are pretty with such a soft pink color. It's funny how they get lighter and fade through time. Mine do the same. I am just starting to enjoy my roses, as we are in full spring here.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend, Carolyn.
love, ~Sheri
