A little pink today


The last of the roses for another season, and I always love it when I'm  able to cut one more for the vase and will prune them shortly.  The softest, sweet pale pink, rose Souvenir de Malmaison always puts on a beautiful show.

A flower does not think of competing to the flower next to it, it just blooms

A pretty pink gown in a shop window in Venice ~ Wearing this you would be the 'belle of the ball'
The architecture in the Hotel Danieli Venice, where we stayed was fabulous and loved the ornate ironwork

Had to have a silly photo taken with George 
Hope you are enjoying the weekend, and last few days of July
Hugs
Carolyn

  4. Dearest Carolyn,
    Love that Souvenir de la Malmaison rose and especially its fragrance!
    The gown is typical for a Venician ball with mask but would be too much for other evening gown appearances.
    The ornate window embellishments in Venice are very special.
    And is that George Clooney?
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  6. The old Bourbon rose is beautiful. You'll miss the beauty and the fragrance now that you've picked the last one before pruning. I hope you have other flowers in season to enjoy. Lovely images of Venice. The visit will stay in your memory. Wishing you a wonderful new week.

  8. Dear Carolyn- what a lovely, lovely rose, I simply need this one in my new garden- - the weather here is not normal, though- with temps. up to 35 ,an d no water at all for soon 3 months- we had maybe two days of little raIN in all that period, so I have to wait for fall, to plant anything.
    Your photos from Venice are gorgeous, looking, and you so sweet together with George, lol.
    Have a wonderful new week .
    Hugs Dorthe
