Cut roses are nice but I'd rather have a rose bush. :) <br /><br />Masha - thank you. The second is Buff Beauty. The first is a modern, the Buck rose Prairie Sunset. I have all types of roses in my garden. This one is hard for me to photograph - in real life it kind of glows.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-46880478565536921762011-02-14T13:14:10.226-08:002011-02-14T13:14:10.226-08:0070F sounds dreamy, hope you had a lovely day.

And, yes...Dear HG, I do know exactly what you mean. And, yes, in London too there is a definite turn in the weather towards spring. Such a pity that commercialisation has made Valentine's Day rather tacky. Far better to consider it, as you do, as the first day of spring.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting my weblog and for becoming a Follower.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
