This is one of my favorite roses.
Oh who am I kidding all of the roses I grow in my garden are my favorites, but I particularly like this one for it’s delicate blooms and it’s out of this world damask rose scent. I do believe that this rose is the nicest smelling rose in my garden.
The blooms are usually a very pale pink in late spring and early summer, but now that we are in the full heat of summer the blooms are lighter and tend to be more white than pink although there is a hint of pink in this photograph.
Green Thumb Sunday is slowly growing. Perhaps when the rush of summer is over we’ll have a few more avid gardeners or people who love to photograph nature come and join us in our Sunday postings.
We currently have 6 sites that play regularly on Sundays, and I believe that I’ll be adding one or two more later today:
Debbie from Reverberate my echo has just expressed a desire to join in, and Guppystorm’s Garden is playing today – i’m waiting to see if he’s officially joining or not, but do visit his site today as he has an entry.
Won’t you join us as well? For more information about Green Thumb Sunday’s visit the “Join Green Thumb Sundays” page.
I love roses. I found one poor scraggly thing in the back yard weeding that I plan to move to the front! I am not sure what kind it is but hope to be able to tell if I can keep from killing it!
I hopefully will start playing…. it’s just remembering to post on Sunday that will be the hard part….
Gorgeous rose!
Hmmm. Reminds me of a peony. I actually like the smell of peonies better than roses. I like the delicate pink in the inner petals.
Lovely.

Such a beautiful rose, Tricia! We have roses, too, but none of them are in bloom now except for the knockout bush. Thanks so much for sharing this beauty!
I just love roses. Very lovely pic. My mom had plenty of Tea roses in her garden when I was growing up, but I’ve never had the pleasure of smelling an English rose. I’ve been away this weekend, I’ll have a pic up in the morning tomorrow.
Hope you had a great weekend.
