    Doesnt it just! Regal and stately in fact- genuine pleasure seeing that rose.

    Do you have a colour scheme Woo- mostly reds and pinks?

    Do your borders tone in or do your roses take pride of place?

    Thank you Marley and Melinda your lovely comments are very much appreciated:)Melinda my Roses do take pride of place but only just above all other flowers,When I walk into my garden,I just love colours that shout out ,"Here look at me today" ,Anything goes with anything else,its the next best thing to putting brush to canvas:thmb::)

    Your Paul's Scarlet is looking lovely! Mine has to compete with jasmine which is *just* about to flower. The red and white together is very pretty.

    I took the above the other day. The jasmine has since been neatly tied in, honest!

    I'll take another photo later:D

    The rose pictures I promised. Somehow, about a third or so of my blooms are facing away from my garden and towards my neighbour! Its probably to catch the late afternoon sun, but Im not sure I want to share my precious beauties!
