As promised, here are the photos of my roses. Such a beautiful colour I think. This is the rose bush that my mum gave me for my 39th birthday.
The roses are massive, as big as a fist.
Last night I opened one of the small bottles of elderflower champagne, it was very fizzy and very delicious! So easy to make and a lovely cheap drink. I would definitely do it again!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunning rose.

Meant to add that a single rose head would look gorgeous floating in a shallow bowl/deep plate.

You're right it is a beautiful colour - is it fragrant? Elderflower champagne my favourite - but is best drunk on a hot summers day - not many of those about this year.
ReplyDeleteNot many hot days about at all for drinking elderflower champagne out in the garden, shame that. Oh yes, I forgot to say, it is indeed a fragrant variety, smells wonderful, although the rain is dampening even that down a little. Why oh why did I not cut the grass yesterday when I had the chance?
ReplyDeletethe rose looks fantastic......amazing colour.mmmh elderflower
ReplyDeletechampagne my favourite.
have a nice day,

What a super gift to be gifted with, I adore the old fashioned fragrant types of roses, I can't resist bringing them into the house. Enjoy your fizzy . You could always turn your rose petals into lovely cordials or jams!
ReplyDeleteI am sure the insects liked the fact you didnt cut the grass. There are positives to everything! And you have a lot, beautiful rose and your champagne made by you. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteSuch a glorious rose, no wonder you love to see it in full bloom and such a lovely sight to come home to.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried or made elderflower champagne but I have added it to my list of things to do x
Your roses are absolutely beautiful. So nice you are home to enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with turning rose petals into something is that you have lose the rose to do so, I couldn't bare to pick them when they are in all their glory at the moment! Maybe when I have hundreds of them. The yellow rose at the front has flowered now too, although only 2 flowers and I am still waiting with baited breath for the first of the buds to open of the climbing rose out the front. I now want more climbing things. I recommend the elderflower champagne to one and all, it is good, cheap and delicious.
ReplyDeleteRoses are my favourite flower of summer. I will be doing a blog post about those soon too. Love your champagne glass I've been drinking my elderflower fizz in wine glasses. I need to get round the charity shops and look for something more suitable!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I am very proud of my champagne glasses! They are very old and were given to me by an old lady when I was a boy and I have kept them ever since, mostly in storage until I moved here. There is a wonderful old elegance to them that is somehow missing from the more modern shaped flutes.
DeleteBeautiful roses!!! Awesome, thanks for sharing the pictures.
ReplyDeleteRoses and champagne, sounds like a perfect combination to me! :-)
Wow it's lovely, the colour really does stand out from afar.
ReplyDeleteAnd elderflower champagne... what's not to like ?
