Friday Flowers ... pink roses


For Friday flowers this week I have some pretty pink roses from the backyard.
The one above is a David Austin called Jubilee Celebration. It is one of my absolute favourites.


Another David Austin called Strawberry Hills which has the most amazing honey scent.


This petite rose is Jane McGrath. 


And the one above is the fave of many, a David Austin called Heritage.
Can you tell I'm a fan of David Austins?
Such beautiful roses. I'm trying to work out how many more I might be able to squish into the garden.
Happy 'almost weekend' people. Lyn and I are hoping to get to a Ten Days on the Island installation called Power Plant at the Botanical Gardens tomorrow night. Exciting!

    Oh I love the last rose particularly- Heritage. I can't wait to buy the roses for my flower garden at the hut, I've picked 40. But everytime I get a catalogue from Treloar I change my selection slightly!
    I know what you mean about the apron, I don't want to mess it up either, and the bad news is I'm a really untidy cook! Have a great time at the botanical gardens, look forward to some photos.

    They are all such beautiful roses Sarah - how lucky you are to be able to enjoy those every day at the moment, both the colour and the scent - wonderful!And well done on growing them so successfully!
    Thanks for your comment - I don't go to work everyday now is how I have the time to be productive Sarah, and I fib about the amount of housework Ive done to hide what Ive really been up to ;) he he

    Those roses are just gorgeous! I can't wait to have my own garden again, only a couple of weeks to go! The first thing I am going to do is plant some David Austins! Have a lovely weekend! X
