I stumbled upon something called Rose Wednesday and, I know its a bit cheeky for a newbee like me, but I had to join in!! I do not own any rose China or quilts like some of the other wonderful bloggers who are part of the Rose group but I do so love roses, the smell is so good and heavy and the leaves are like velvet! I love the big plump pretty old ones like this one. Sorry I do not know its name!
Someone told me in England there is a guy who has a company who sells "old Roses" his website is
(http://www.davidaustinroses.com/) oops that was a bit big I look as if I'm shouting! Sorry!
and his name is David Austin so I visited his site and look what I found! I wish I had green fingers or there was smellervisionor smeller cyberspace cos I bet this rose smells divine don't you!I was so worried abut using a copyright photo that I had to take it off as I got too stressy and instead I have posted an image of old roses by the American Artist about whom you can learn more here her name is Marion W Hylton and I love her work! I hope you do too! I have written to her to ask if its OK to use her image!!
