End of the Roses...

Tonight may be the end of this years roses as a relatively hard freeze is predicted for tonight, and so I wanted to document the beauty of the last few bouquets here...

Purple Iceberg with Sheer Bliss and some sage on the left,
my Rosie Posie's favorite rose, Angel Face, on the right.


Sunset Celebration on the left, Marmalade Skies on the right...
both with white cosmos and sage.
Oklahoma, with marigolds.

It is always so hard to see them go, they are usually at their finest when the freeze hits...with so many buds ready to bloom that it is truly a sad thing to see them go each fall.

I enjoy the small pleasure the flowers bring...their scent and color as I drink a cup of tea, the enjoyment of arranging a vase, the delight of wandering the garden and seeing a new beauty growing, watching a single bud unfold in the silver vase on the bathroom counter...


It is said that all good things must end, but I know that, in the Spring, my roses will bloom again.
