roses

Aren't these cottage roses gorgeous? 

They're from my grandparent's garden, a few blocks from my parents house here in KC. 

These roses haven't been especially well looked after since my gramma passed, but they come back every spring with big fluffy pink blossoms. 

I love them. The peonies (my favorite flower) have yet to bloom on the bush behind my parents house, or these roses might have some competition for the spotlight.

The  color of these flowers is an amazing a sort of fuschia-blush. 

Plus they are super blousy and ruffly and they smell divine.

Thanks for the flowers gramma!
