The scent of a rose
Can you smell it?
I can.
Of course I know exactly how beautiful this Prince Napoleon rose smells. Just one look at some of my rose photos brings the scent right back to me. Just gazing at this rose makes me feel as if it’s scent surrounds me.
I think next winter I’ll spend some time each day looking at my photographs so I can remind myself of the gardens beauty and scent.
If you grow scented flower you’ll hopefully know exactly what feeling I’m talking about. Once you get that intoxicating scent in your mind it doesn’t fade easily.
I love this rose. It’s a true beauty and so very hardy!
Click on the photo. You’ll be taken to my flickr account and then at the top of the image look for “all sizes” once you click that a larger version of this image should appear. It’s worth viewing in full size.

Every day I take my son for berry picking in the woods around here. Every day we stop and smell a rose that looks exactly like that.

As usual your flowers are lovely. Now that I have moved to a place with good growing soil I will be planting for the spring.
