At my house.....

.....my rose bush is in full bloom. Isn't it grand??? I love nothing more than being able to cut fresh flowers for the table. I am not a green thumb by any stretch of the imagination but I seem to have had great success with this rose. Mum and Dad bought it for us as a house warming gift from a grower at Maleny, in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It refuses to die and is always in bloom, and what a good thing that is! I think it is called a duchesse de brabant rose, characterised by plump little blossoms and a very mild fragrance. For more 'At my house' goodness pop over to the lovely Lou's.

Some more bloomy goodness for your Tuesday:

  3. I wish, wish, wish my roses would bloom so beautifully. They struggled this year. I'm hoping a nice rest over winter will do the trick for a fab Spring. Do you know what kind of rose this is? It's so lovely.

  4. I really love to have fresh flowers around as well. I would love to pick them from my own garden but at the moment I need to be happy with occasional purchases from the market instead. Your rose is a beautiful colour.

    Thanks for joining in this week. Lou.

  5. We used to have loads of rose bushes at our old house but none where we live now. It's a shame as they're so pretty when in bloom!

    What kinds of things to you put in your journal? My week's been OK so far thanks. I think I have tonsillitus but I'm soldering on haha! Hope you're well =)

  9. I really want to plant roses. This is so inspiring. I was proud that I planted some in my home in Canada and was always fascinated how they bloomed in the Spring after a long winter covered in snow!
