I dearly love the first shot with the fountain in the background. Also, 'Buff Beauty,' what a fine rose she is. My roses were sad this year, but rallied in the last couple of weeks. We had a large cold front which made their petals fall. I hope next year is kinder to them and me.
Beautiful photos. I just purchased a banded 'Buff Beauty' last summer and your portrait of her reminds me how much I can't wait until I see the blooms. *sigh* Dreaming of spring already!
I stumbled upon your blog while looking for a photo of patchouli I could use in my own blog, and decied to read a bit. Nice work! I will be adding you to my blogroll. Namaste.
Stunning photo's! You have such a lovely rose garden. I just planted Buff Beauty, Lavender Lassie and Belinda- Hybrid Musks this year. Hoping mine will look as beautiful as yours!
Your Buff Beauty is gorgeous. Mine bloomed in spring but the summer heat and drought appear to have sapped her strength; no fall flush for her. Luckily I still have La Marne and Old Blush.
Gorgeous Phillip. 'Nearly Wild' looks exquisite around the fountain.

Love the fountain shot (the wire looks like an arrow through the tree). Love the color of 'Bluff Beauty'. I only have 1 rose that was given to me when I lost my long time rescued Aussie Casey at 16yrs old. It's been in full bloom the last few weeks & I meant to get a shot of it before my knee surgery. I have re-blooming iris in bloom now. They usually bloom the first of Oct. The wind storm we had last week broke most of them off just as they opened. Mary
Lovely Phillip! I used to have La Marne - that rose never quit. We haven't had a hard freeze yet. In fact, it's a bit warm right now! I'll miss what blooms are left after the inevitable freeze.

We've had barely a smattering of frost in SW France. Unusually mild here, as it is/has been in the eastern states.
