My garden roses





In the studio today, I was admiring photos of the roses that bloomed in my garden this season. Although I have a mixture of English and American roses, I tend to love the English ones for their strong, intoxicating scent. They almost resemble a Peony. Maybe that is why I liked them, I use to have a luscious peony garden but unfortunately a hired a few men that didn't know much about gardening to help me around the place, and when I came home, I found they pulled them all out, boy was I mad.  They have lived in my garden for over 12 years, the peonies, not the men, I can tell you that!
  
                                                                       Like a pretty doll wearing a gown
                                                                                        of pretty petals.
       



 This yellow American rose I bought at Shoprite for 9.99. It didn't do so well in my garden, this was probably the only nice bloom I got all season.

  
               
 They smell heavenly especially when the windows are open.



                                  Beach roses smell very nicely as well.





            I will keep watering them and admiring them till they bloom no more...
