Roses

[dinger]

I believe eveyone has a special love of roses ,I have the lovely pink Peace the deep red of Ernest my dads name Open Arms which was a gift given to me and holds a very special meaning . Is there a rose or any other flower which holds a memory of a special Occasion or reminds you perhaps of someone .or a place you have been .

[Crocus]

The Crocus. The first time we visited the UK was in March, and there were all these flowers in the fields, alongside the roads, and hubby had to stop because I wanted to see what it was. I asked someone about it and she explained that it was the Crocus flower! It will always have a special memory for me. Then daffodils. On a wedding anniversary hubby bought me a big bunch of daffodils, and gave it to me in the little church we always go to in the UK. Very special as well, for obvious reasons. My sisters's name is Rosa, so yes, roses have a different meaning as well. I have white Iceberg Roses in my front garden. Alongside the garden path between gate and front door. The started to flower now after the winter. Beautiful. My wedding bouquet was miniture roses in a posy.

I love the smell of fragrant cloud and my daughter bought me several new standard rose bushes this year.My mum bought me a climber called blessings, very appropriate.X

Oh you naughty girl you!

My mum used to think that 'pinching' a sprig from a flower, a bush or tree anywhere, is not all that wrong, because it's nature and was given to all of us to enjoy! :)
