Roses everywhere
Yesterday after work I stepped outside and picked lots of roses from our climbing rose vines outside the house. These vines are going nuts with flowers right now, there are hundreds of blooms spilling around our porch and the sidewalk. These little bouquets make barely a dent. I’ve sprinkled them throughout the house and they smell just heavenly.
That little ivory pitcher on the left is a new addition, picked up for $3 at the nearby antique mall.

These look so pretty! ;-)
What a brilliant red! Wild garden roses are superior to all else! It reminds me of the joy of picking back in Janurary (http://thoughtsandbirosketches.blogspot.com/2009/01/for-alice-rose-in-her-own-right.html).
Your blog is wonderful, and your life and creations utterly inspiring.
What a wonderful picture !
Now you know why they call it the city of Roses! :)
I love this time of year! Have you been up to the Test Gardens at Washington Park yet? If not – a definite must do!
My, those are beautiful. My roses haven’t bloomed yet, but they’re about to!
Portland roses! Portland is heavenly in June. The best is yet to come.
Wow, those are the best red ever.
those are simply gorgeous…
the last roses i had around were a few some drunk guy gave me in the middle of the night.
SO gorgeous! One day I dream of having a flower garden where I can cut my own flowers to add some prettiness to my surroundings! :)
Like strawberries and cream! Perfection! t.x
