It's Chelsea Week-So as a tribute here are some Roses from my garden!

I love this time of year it's Chelsea Flower show, I become all inspired and then look at my own garden and feel that I need to work harder out there to make it look more "Show Garden" than garden no show!! These beautiful orange roses are on the side of the barn and look stunning against the black weatherboards.

These pinks are a shot of colour amongst the yellow rose bush at the front gate , I never understand how that happens....nature is very clever like that. 

This heavily scented yellow rose covers the whole of the front of the house, when you open your window in the morning the smell is wonderful. I only hope that this strong wind that they are forecasting in the next few days doesn't blow the petals away too quickly.

This is a William Shakespeare rose which we have in abundance in the rose garden the symmetrical beds are full of this striking rose.

Another pink which runs along the side of the path to the Vegetable patch ,it has a habit of hanging over the pathway which means that I can justify cutting it ,so I then have a lovely arrangement just for myself on the hall table.

This lemon coloured rose has prime position in the main border and loves to be cut, this is a favourite workshop flower and looks wonderful in a mixed hand tied arrangement.

This is a brier rose which in autumn has great rose hips which  I make into  a delicious cordial.

HERE IS MY TRIBUTE TO CHELSEA
