I'm just catching up on the pictures that I took when my garden was in full bloom. Here are some classic roses I love. There's a reason these roses have been preserved for so long...

Take two gallicas,

Charles de Mills perfectly formed flowers:

And the lovely Duchess de Montebello:

The elegant and intoxicatingly fragrant Felicite Parmentier:

My favorite flower buds and a pretty cupped bloom too, Cristata:

Those flower buds are gnarly. I like it.

I love the European old roses even though I can't grow them. This way at least I get to enjoy your growing them. Thanks.

I love Felicite Parmentier, that pale blush pink is so delicate. Wish I could smell it!
