none of these roses are mine.
all of them are utterly delightful.
a gardener was dead heading them, and gave me an armful of petals to take home and dry.
my bag has never smelt so amazing, and I felt like a princess as I scattered rose petals whenever I went to get out my purse, or my keys.
This one looked like tissue paper,
As the sun warmed them, the intense perfumed scent drifted through the air,
and as I wandered through them I wondered if the warm sun, the intoxicating scent and the magical colours could be captured and saved up for colder, wetter greyer days.
come November, or maybe mid February I shall come back here, and check, and then I'll let you know.
Nothing quite like a rose to brighten your day. Lovely photos, Tess.

ReplyDeleteStunning roses,there seem to be so many this year don't you think. I was thinking about doing a post similar to this just the other day but with poppies but when I went to the place I was going to photograph them they'd all been pulled out :-(
ReplyDeleteI have a funny feeling I know where those roses were growing....! X

So beautiful, I can almost smell them from here! xx
ReplyDeleteI put dropped rose petals into a bowl in the kitchen this year and forgot about them. Amazingly they dried and have turned into the most gorgeous smelling potpourri :-)
