I actually wrote this post yesterday because tomorrow my daughter is taking me out for a lovely day of shopping then lunch and maybe a bit of vintage shopping so I'm keeping my fingers crossed the sun stays shining.
But being a women and being excellent at multi-tasking I'm also going over to the lovely Jane's from SmallButCharming for her 'flowers in the house' link party, always fun so if you have a few flowers pop them in vase and join in.
The Roses are wonderful this year, I have no idea why but this year they seem huge.
This lovely cream Rose is a tea rose called 'Sombreuil' I'm very lucky it grows so well as it slightly sensitive to frost but it comes back every year.
Well, let's hope that next year is a good one for roses as I hope to plant some near the summerhouse, in a bed edged with lavender.
ReplyDeleteWay, way too hot for me to even contemplate going outside... already in the mid to high 20s at nine in the morning. Pretty soon it will be too warm to think, for me.
Hope you enjoyed your shopping....
Hello Deborah:
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun time you will have with your daughter for sure. And, hopefully, beautiful weather to match the occasion.
Your Roses are indeed looking wonderful. Clearly they have enjoyed the seasonal weather.
Hi Deborah, enjoy the day out. The roses are swoon! Sinead
ReplyDeleteGorgeous array of roses Deb. Have fun shopping...remember to showcase your finds...I drove through a village on Saturday (with my head on a swivel) and a spied a couple of interesting homeware shops...so of course I will be visiting 'with bells on' very very soon! Robx
ReplyDeleteSuch perfect roses! Can almost smell them! Have a wonderful day with your daughter.x
ReplyDeleteThe roses are beautiful, so is that one little vase. Wrap that up and bring it over to my house if you don't mind....

Love the orange rose and the bachelor's buttons together. What a striking combination!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great day!
the 'Sombreuil' rose is precious...as are all the tiny glass vases of posies...thank you for the inspiration - hope your day exploring is wonderful! -xok.
ReplyDeleteI tried 'Sombreuil' but it wasn't happy in my garden. Your displays are lovely, I hope you enjoyed your day.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the colors pop in your white kitchen - definitely shows off your pretty flowers. I love the bachelor's buttons - at least I think that's what they are...

ReplyDeleteSeeing these pics makes me want to plant more roses... I only have two.

ReplyDeleteI am such a total fan of roses. Love 'em. And you're right - they do seem particularly big, don't they?

Debra I'm so inspired each and every time I visit your blog. Simply stunning roses! Mine are not doing so well this Summer, the Spring was fine but the extreme heat has got to them, so it's so nice to pop over to view yours, and your hutch! Ever changing, and always so lovely!
ReplyDeleteDear Deborah, What a beautiful post!! I'm in love with your roses...just heavenly! I must say that SOMBREUIL is stunning and my favorite the vase you used is just perfect. I so love the whites and creams! Your hutch is an absolute treasure and I love how you displayed
