A red rose means " I still love you" |
There are times when you really need smellavision. Normally
I am not that fond of formal showy flowers such as rhododendrons, gladioli and
roses, but this year they are so amazing, I can't help stopping to photograph them. The secret I am told is "savage pruning," so I guess there has been a bit of it around here.
Did you know that roses
have secret meanings? These are from
http://www.tokenz.com/meaning-of-flowers.html and I'll put some in here if they are listed. I'm not a great believer, but I do like a little magic here and there. It says green roses mean you are from Mars. Didn't see any of those.

Tea roses have a lovely scent |
There are climbing roses, standard roses, roses two stories high.
Yes, it's definitely a good season for roses. Take the time to smell them.
