At Last

At last my roses have come into bloom…

I have been waiting all year, (actually two years, as last year was a complete washout and nothing thrived) to have bouquets of fragrant delights adorning my table; and now, much to my inescapable, palpable excitement, I have more than I could hope for 

My grandad was a rose-gardener, and I have inherited his obsessive compulsive love of these flowers…

My plan is to have them rampant throughout our garden (all two acres of it!!) although I’m frequently reminded that that won’t work if I keep filling vases of them… 🙁 !!!
