My Mum always dreamed of a beautiful garden but for many years my dad had the attitude "bugger the garden, I'm watching the football". On losing Mum dad has spent the last few years making sure that it is as pretty as she would have wanted and within that planting lots of different rose bushes.
With the mix of warm weather and plenty of rain the roses have all come out beautifully. These ones in particular are my favourite. I just love the colour of them!
Gorgeous roses Martyn, your Mum would have loved them
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely that he keeps it in her memory and those roses are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose roses are so pretty and I love the colour too :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous. What a pretty colour. Our roses haven't came out yet x
ReplyDeleteI agree it's a beautiful rose. The colour is so pretty. Unfortunately, here in the North East of Scotland we are a little behind with our roses...but it'll be worth the wait I'm sure. Enjoy! :D
ReplyDeleteWe love the colour! It's lovely that he remembers your mother and makes the garden so pretty in her memory. x #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThose are stunning roses. I couldn't go them myself. My attitude is generally "if you can't eat it, I can't b bothered to grow it." I do, however salute your dad for his change of attitude. He's certainly doing very well.
ReplyDeleteAww I love that Martyn. Such a sweet sentiment and I am sure that it makes her happy. This looks like a David Austin rose, his have a gorgeous scent. And that orange colour is so vibrant and full of life, perfect colour for remembrance #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rose. It's love that your dad has done that, but what a shame it was too late for your mum.
