My Garden in a Vase


When I left Cornwall earlier this week my garden was just getting into its stride. June is its month. I hated to leave and I was sad that DH wouldn't see it in its glory so I took ten minutes and cut a bloom or two from each rose. Thought I share it with you. I just wish I could share the scent as well.

  1. Are those David Austen old-fashioned roses I see?

    Lovely picture.

  2. Only two of them are - the big red one is David Lathwaite (spelling?) and the white is Winchester cathedral. Well spotted :-)

  3. What a beautiful bunch of flowers.
    I currently live in a city centre flat and I am desperate to move to the suburbs or country side, so i can have a little gardern and grow beautiful flowers and plants like your roses

  4. Oh Jenny, it's tough when you long for a garden and it just can't happen. I did throw myself into serious window boxes when in the same position as you.

  5. Absolutely glorious. The wind is so salty and strong here that only the toughest plants survive.
