The Garden Rose

I am not a rosarian.  Although, I have probably sixty different roses in my garden.  But I make no claim to expertise or any particular knowledge other than my pure emotional response to the simple, garden rose.  I must confess, although it is a luxury, my roses mostly come from one source.  They are hybrids of old strong-scented English roses with modern repeat flowering plants from the esteemed David Austin.  I am a fan.  I admit it.  Point me toward a David Austin rose and I will buy it.

And here are the first roses of 2012, waiting to be put into a vase.  Ahhh… summer … it is here.   The scent of it is heavenly!
