Roses... beauty on a prickly stem... fragrance... delicacy... petals drifting in the breeze.

Roses have their way here.

A Heron's View said...: I very much like Roses not just for their beauty but the length of the growing season which can be almost ten months long here. Years ago I used to make a delicious wine from their petals which had a gentle fragrance and tasted like a liquid turkish delight.; 03:45

WILDSIDE said...: Thanks, Gwen, it is ever so lovely everywhere there! I have been keeping a wild rose in a pot beneath my kitchen window for a long time now -- mostly because I haven't gotten this particular one into the ground, but also because I'd miss the woodsy scent and hearing the hum of the bees so up close and personal as I sit or stand at the windows. If it were up to me, I'd spread them everywhere again! Imagine? Wild rose honey? I do, but yet to keep my own bees... I guess I'd rather just be imagining it! LOL

Thanks for giving me the tip I ought to be visiting your blog this AM... ;-); 11:47

Sharmon Davidson said...: Oh, Gwen, how lovely, to have these all around you! I've never had any luck with roses myself, though my dad had over 200 roses bushes when I was growing up. Glorious!; 12:25
