I never promised you a rose garden






Those are the roses in my garden. I did not plant them. They were here when I  came to live in my very small house many years ago.Some of them have the smell of the "real roses" that we don't find any more.People ask me sometimes if they can take one or more from the flowers and i say why not. I like them in the garden but I can understand the desire to have this beautiful flower inside the house. A day before yesterday was our Remembrance day and I noticed that more people asked me for the red roses.

  1. I love roses Yael. My favourite flower. You are very lucky to have them already in your garden when you moved to your house.

  6. Old fashioned roses, those with a delightful perfume, are my favourite flowers. While many of the modern roses look lovely they lack that perfume. You are very lucky to have 'inherited' so many lovely roses! Iike them all:)

  8. That's really nice, to have so many roses. My wife grew roses in our little garden when we lived in Italy, they climbed up the wall and were so beautiful. But we didn't have as many types as that.

  10. I'm lucky to have an old white rosebush. It flowers through the snows and frosts of winter and has a tremendous perfume.
