Remember about two weeks ago I wrote a post about all the roses in my yard? I told you that they were all in bloom at once and that the scent was heavenly?

I was working bellow the roses in the middle photo planting some new plants when the roses were in full bloom and I ended up being covered in petals. The branches of one of my largest roses, William Baffin, were moving in the light breeze and petals were raining down on me.

I still have roses in bloom but different roses, different colors and different scents now. The lilies are blooming too.

I thought you might enjoy seeing the roses in bloom so here’s a sample from my garden for you to enjoy.

Fading William Baffin blooms:

Barone Prevost and Jacques Cartier roses

That was a whole lot of pink wasn’t it? If only you could smell it too!
