Notes from a Rose Garden 2021...

Marlorena · June 2021

@cooldoc
..thanks so much... sorry you're at work, night shifts.. I used to do those..

.. well I find it strong and I'm carrying a bloom around with me at the moment, sniffing as I go.. it starts off tea, but now it's different this afternoon, sweeter, more floral.. I think it's lovely, and the flowers opening now are a better shape..
I like unusual, interesting roses that are not run of the mill.. and this is one of them...

That was brilliant, just read through the whole thread and feel like I've had a walk around!

I love the contrast between the bud and flower colour on Mme Antoine Mari.

Thanks Marlorena, looking forward to the next instalment.
