| Sometimes the petals on the ground remind me of face powder sprinkled on the ground.
These pics are from June. Marchesa Boccella was in bloom, and the falling petals looked like a soft carpet of powder. Reine des Violettes is in the background, and Sharifa Asma is on the right.

| The Marchesa is really beautiful, Krista. So is your Sharifa Asma. You do seem to have a knack for growing the most beautiful pink roses! Ingrid |
|
| Thank you, Ingrid. I do have a fondness for the pink roses, can't seem to grow too many of them... |

| Krista, your Marchesa Boccella is sooo... beautiful! I love the high petal count and the informal tussled style of the blooms. Thanks for sharing! Christina |

| Thank you, Christina. It does have lots of petals, kind of fun to imagine how many there might be in each bloom. |

| Krista your photos of Marchesa Bocella...stunning. I have one also but a very young plant. Did I mention I love this rose so much that I named my St. Bernard after her. We call her Marci...she's a female... Jeannie Thanks for the photo I can dream. |

| Jeannie, your St. Bernard must be so sweet.... Thank you for the kind words. |
