We have a yellow rose bush in the front garden, given to us as house warming gift last year. Even though it’s not big yet the smell of roses still wafts up the garden path in the Summer. Such and nice photo or you and Lily together sniffing roses.

@Gemma,
Thank you Gemma. Loving roses has definitely been something that has come with age. X

Stunning roses! I am planning on buying a rose bush this Spring, I had no idea just how many varieties there are out there until visiting a nursery last year.
I love how the trees in your photos look as thought they have beards – and that cute lizard (and naturally you and Lily!) I keep going back up to look at that last photo – I want to reach in and sniff them!
Thanks for joining in again sweet cheeks x

beautiful beautiful! Adore the roses – wish there was a smell-widget! Lily looks so lovely. And I especially like the statues – I’ve decided I’m going to get some small angel statues for the garden this year. Lovely post honey x

I just love camellias they’re so delicate looking aren’t they, but are hardy if they like where they are. And is that a magnolia, so many beautiful plants and shots of them! #hdygg

Interesting that you say loving roses comes with age, I think I’ve reached that age! We don’t have any in our garden at the moment but I can see that changing very soon. Wonderful photos 🙂
