A delicate, fragrant rose. I took a cutting from a neighbor's yard two years ago. It's been a struggle to keep it alive and healthy, but I've just been rewarded with the first perfect bloom, and there are more on the way.

One of the last summer days ...
my beloved yellow roses are still doing well after heavy rain.

Shades of Blue and Pink
Waterfront hues make me think how nearly impossible it is to paint nature adequately.
Mariatheresia
( #Tantau 2003)
Floribunda dai fiori a coppa, doppi e nostalgici, in delicato rosa pastello. Fioritura continua per tutta l’estate. Arbusto cespuglioso e molto ramificato, con fogliame verde scuro e lucido che contrasta elegantemente con i fiori. Perfetta anche in gruppi.
"The plant’s background became the subject of more intense interest after the hurricane, when it was discovered to have likely survived some time submerged underwater. Martin said it was the only one among 450 antique roses in her garden to have made it through the storm."

Rose hips
An ancient rose,
she’s trellised high.
Her velvet folds:
love’s fleeting sigh.
Damascus scent,
French pedigree,
in a purple tent
though wild and free.
From Aquitaine
I bore her hence,
her prickles’ pain:
sin’s sacrament.
Autumnal chill:
soft petals fade —
her thorns rest, filled
with love’s remains.
Serene she’s stayed,
grace still abides:
her blush decayed,
by thorns belied.
"Dear"
Teableau for 08/28/25
For a real one.
Mother Nature's technicolour spirit shone vividly in these roses I photographed, which overwhelmed me with joy!
