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!

The colour of roses are very nice
Yes! Sometimes I think there are colors in roses that you don’t see anywhere else…
Yes. Even in Malaysia there are just red, white and pink of roses. I wish i could see variaties colours of roses ^^
I will be posting a lot of pictures of them on my blog this summer! If you follow me you can at least see what we are growing here in Sonoma, California!
okay.
Is it your blog is all about flower only?
No, it is a photo blog about my life in the wine country!
Oh. It’s sound so interesting! but all your flower picture in your blog attracted me to follow your blog.
If you nevermind you can follow my blog too.
Thank you I will!
With sixty roses, that puts you teetering on the verge of being a rosarian. ha! Lovely blooms.
If only I knew more I might claim the title! Thanks for the compliments!
