Blooming marvellous.....!!

Yesterday I finally got around to pruning the last of my roses, and as late as it is in the season, I was very happy to get one last vase of flowers from my favorite bush to cheer up the patio.  Here's wishing you a 'bunch of blossoms' kind of Monday....!!.

    Beautiful roses. I like roses. My father was their passionate grower. Here is the season of roses in full swing, but little is this photograph. Good Friday, you have actually noon.

    what perfect roses for the end of your season. and you've arranged them to show off their perfection. thank you for sharing them with us. i hope they last a good long time on your patio. and when they begin to fade, you'll still have this delightful image of them.

    Lovely roses.

    We have so many rose bushes here in the old country growing wild, that I help my to petals from time to time, but mostly let them be and enjoy their scent and beauty.

    Grace, My husband has been lurking on your blog [we are trying to immigrate to Perth] and he sent me a link. He's not a commenter, but I had to introduce myself:) I am a Francophile, too. My FrenchKissed blog is centered around antique French postcards/digita scans and my love of France. Hope you'll visit sometime. If we get to fill our dream of relocating, maybe we'll meet in person one day. ...LUV the roses!
