PhotoHunt: pink

A confession:  I got the theme completely wrong for this week.  For some reason I thought it was "sign".  I have absolutely no idea why, but fortunately I checked at the last moment.  So, a very hastily put together post for pink, but I managed to resist reposting the same pictures from the last time.

I am not particularly fond of the colour pink but I do love roses.  There is a very small and rather neglected house near us which needs a great deal of care and attention, but in the garden there are the most magnificent roses.  I'd be happy to buy the house for the roses alone.  And fortunately for me this week, some of the roses are pink.



If you look at the enlarged pictures (if you click on them) you will see there is non-rose foliage.  A climber, it looks like a clematis, has almost strangled the bushes.  I do hope someone will take care of them soon.

It just leaves me to say, a very happy 4th July to all my American friends.  One of the great rewards of the internet is making friends around the world.

  7. So pretty. I hope they don't get strangled. Do they have a spicy perfume, or a sweet one?

  12. These a absolutely gorgeous.. perhaps the neglect has made them grow stronger and able to cope... with a little care now they might just explode! My pinks are up here.

  13. Is someone tending to the roses in the garden of that neglected house? Those are magnificent roses and the impression I've gotten is that roses need to be nurtured, otherwise they just don't bloom so beautifully.

  15. Thank you all! To answer a few questions - the house is up for sale and has been for quite a while. It also has a beautiful magnolia tree which flowers earlier. I think and hope the neighbours are used to seeing me and my visits to see the flowers. I can't remember whether these ones were scented. I didn't show the red ones or the white. Not even the pink with a purple tinge. :)

    I'm well, thank you Bing.

  16. I love your rose; pink ones can't be beat.

    A rose of any other color would hardly smell as sweet.
