At last, the roses are blooming. This one, I just had to pick as the colour is so vibrant.
Our garden is full of roses, along with many other plants, but roses must be my true favourite.
Mick and I will be going of to the David Austin rose centre in a couple of weeks time. it's not far from Telford, (another lovely place to visit) I'm sure that we'll come back with something special. It's truly worth a visit. They have a lovely Old English style tea room, with the most exquisite delights to tempt anyone. The gift shop is an Aladdins cave, with rose covered china teapots, to the most luxurious bathtime treats. All this and beautiful show gardens with experts on hand to help and advise. Then all you have to do is walk around the vast beds of roses for sale. Heaven! I can't wait !
My camera is already in my bag, and I'll be taking lots of pictures and no doubt bringing something else home too!
David Austen's?! I'm green with envy.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful rose! Is this Graham Thomas Rose? Wish I could join you in your visit to David Austin Roses. I have a couple of their catalogues and those only are enough to bring me in ecstacy LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis one is Pat Austin, very fragrant, and continues to flower all summer.
