Roses

Despite the wet spring we’ve had, the roses in the garden are absolutely glorious at the moment.  They’re my favourite flowers, especially the old fashioned, scented climbers and I particularly like them growing against a wall.  My mum loved roses too; perhaps because she was born in June, but whatever the reason, she passed that love onto me. I adore them so much that along with daisies, I carried white roses in my wedding bouquet.  Most of our garden roses are from David Austin and have lived upto all expectations; hardy, disease resistant, abundant, heavily fragranced and quite simply, glorious.
