My roses are thriving. A couple posts back I showed a picture of my happy rose bush in the front yard that was just beginning to bloom. Well, it hit its peak today so I decided to take photos. I love taking pictures of the flowers and other garden elements throughout the year, but mostly I just file them away in my picture files and only share them occasionally. Until this year. Please bear with me! It’s not that I plan to turn this into a gardening blog, LOL, but I believe most of us stitchers, sewing, and other needle artists all seem to have a deeper-than-average appreciation for beautiful flowers.

And the “Fairy Swimming Pools” from the title? My sweet hubby Bruce was outside with me while I was snapping pictures, and he requested that I capture close-up pictures of the dew on the roses because they looked like Fairy Swimming Pools.
Click once or twice to “embiggen” the pictures.
Can you see the Fairy Swimming Pools? It was easy finding the pools, but I did not catch sight of a single fairy out for a swim!

Well Cathy, I think you are right about stitchers and flowers. I have never had a rose bush variety that grew that big except for my climbers. Yours is gorgeous and I certainly enjoyed the pictures.

That IS the most beautiful rose bush ever! My favorite colors for roses! Wonderful photos!
Summer is HERE! finally! Smiles, Cat
Stunning!
Beautiful flowers Cathy!
Oh, my! That is one big beautiful rose bush! I love the color!
I think you're right about stitchers and artists having an appreciation for the beauty and complexity of a flower. (Probably from trying to recreate it in our chosen field, and finding out just how difficult it is to capture!) I love the idea of fairy swimming pools!
Gorgeous, gorgeous flower. I'd love to be able to make one in SRE.
Wow Cathy! I think you have a forest of roses!!! They are gorgeous! I can't have roses because the legions of deer will eat them down to the ground!!! Please keep showing me yours so I can live vicariously through YOU!!!! And that Bruce has got be a romantic!!
ok this is the fourth time I have come by here to look at your roses! Stunning! I love roses and these are the most beautiful that I have ever seen......what do you feed them? And do you prune them back every year? If so when, inquiring minds want to know......
Cathy I have never seen a rose bush with that many flowers on it.
Just beautiful.
It is funny but it seems as though most embroiderers and/or cqers also love gardening.
I lugged 14 - 40# bags of mushroom composte out of the van and into place in the garden both front and back. Opened and shovelled about 8 so still have more to do. I get carried away and have to remind myself I am not as young as I used to be so quit while I could still walk. Probably won't tomorrow.
Hugs

ps - liked Bruce's fairy swimming pools.
