My hour today started very early as it is forecast to be hot. I plan to paint in the studio, great drying weather.
I decided to treat the roses and have included a mixed feed with added seaweed. The smell of these roses 'mmm'. I name them 'Old Fashioned' or 'Mick's Rose' as he planted Them. I have lost the label. They smell of the rose's I know from my childhood. The ones I used to make perfume from (or though that was more eau de toilette).. These have a distinct sweet lemony background to a floral bouquet, hence the name 'Old Fashioned', and I very rarely remember unscented roses from my childhood. If I smelt this scent every time I took a deep breath above a bloom, I would never be disappointed.
This is the second flush of flowers from this plant, so it never disappoints me. Just 'Take the time to smell the roses' x
