I don't want to brag
but...
Boule de Neige
all month long
the roses in my garden
have rambled
Dr. W. van Fleet
and scrambled
and climbed
Zephirine Drouhin
and bloomed
with fragrant perfection.
Iceberg
I just wish I had spent
more time in the garden
enjoying them.
Constance Spry
Must try harder
next year.

Gah! Plunge that dagger deeper into my heart! Why do I not have Boule de neige or Constance Spry? WHY?
Ah, they are lovely.
Fortunately I still have a few late blooms on mine even though it is Winter, It is too early to prune them yet. I always think I enjoy the very first and very last blooms the best. Perfume is their finest quality , followed by good looks especially beautiful stamens.
The one in my garden that has the finest perfume ( in my opinion ) is Charles Austin.
Your roses are beautiful!
This is the first spring that I've taken lots of photos of the flowers in my garden and along my walks. Looking at them takes me back to the day that I took the photo- almost complete with the scent of the flowers.
I hate to say it but- it's important to take time to smell the roses.

They have been particularly lovely this year, haven't they? Remind me to introduce you to the Rambling Rector one of these days. He's a remarkably sprightly old gentleman.
O.M.G. They are AMAZING.
Rose envy!

Constance Spry is my favourite of your photos. What a stunner!
So gorgeous. Now if only we had scratch-and-sniff blogs... K x
How I adore Constance Spry altho I've not grown it.
At our old house we had a teeny tiny garden shed that I made the mister paint blue, with a hot pink tin roof, and I grew Zepherine Drouin over it. Such a wonderful rose for a garden, being thornless and all! I seem to remember the fragrance was particularly good too.
I miss my roses. Can't grow 'em here in this useless soil.
We only have rugosas blooming right now in Maine. Lovely to see your photos! My antique varieties will bloom (only once) next month.
Oh the Constance Spry is delightful.
Thank you so much for your visit. It's always great to know of someone else who likes that blue and white.
Your roses are so gorgeous! This city dweller truly envies all with gardens around this time of the year.
See you again soon.
They are all so lovely!I love the pinks, they are my favorites
insanely as it may sound... I never used to like roses.
till this year. Now I'm sorry and sad I don't have any in my garden.
Next year. I promise, next year.
As I plan to build a pergola with lots of green climbing things you have just inspired me to add a climbing rose as well.
What a gorgeous post to read on a Sunday morning..
Oh, beautiful.
