coming up roses

Photo heavy today ~ because whatever I say isn’t going to be much compared to the natural beauty of these Pierre de Ronsard climbing roses we have growing on our back verandah.  I often catch myself standing under them, staring up, smiling!

When I first started blogging, {I think it was my second post}, I had recently planted this area.  You can visit that post HERE to compare the photos.

Then last year I was gathering them by the basket full, you can see HERE.

I adore the fullness and lusciousness of them!

This next photo, I called my husband to come over and stand there… and just look up.  He knew what I meant.

We get to enjoy these beauties from now through to May next year.  And in a few years, we’ll have two more fully grown versions of these in the front yard, that we planted last week.  I can’t wait!

Before I go, I wanted to let you know about a giveaway of two of my canvas prints, over at the Modish Creators Market blog right now!  Click HERE to go to the Modish blog and enter the giveaway.

{comments on this post here will not enter you into the Modish giveaway of the two prints!}

And lastly, if you are looking for the Simply Christmas giveaway ~ it’s the post below this one!

Bye for now,
