Sweetness

We were back at the farm on the weekend for a birthday camping sleepover (hmmm, more like 'talk-over'!) for my newly 13-year-old daughter. I made Princess Martha's White Chocolate & Strawberry Cheesecake as the birthday cake - oh, my! It was VERY good!!
Being back at the farm allowed me to catch with my beloved roses which are blooming profusely right now. Here are just a few of them, mostly David Austins:
The softest pink of Mary Rose
One of my favourites, called 'Othello'
'Othello' again, beautiful perfume, but the most wicked of thorns!
'Golden Celebration'
'Perfume Perfection'
'Grace'
If I could send the heavenly scent of these roses across cyberspace to you I would!

  7. That cake looks yummy - but the roses - oh my, how beautiful! We are nearing the end of fall here - we had a heavy, windy rain Saturday night that took a lot of leaves off the trees - it's the one part of autumn I don't like - almost wish the snow would come soon - almost. Nice to know flowers are blooming somewhere. SuzK

  9. Love your roses. We are just in the process of having our front garden re-designed and I'm on the lookout for what roses to plant. I will take the names down of a few of those, they are beautiful and I figure if you have roses they need to be fragrant. Thanks for sharing them.
