    Yes; what would life be without roses? I love them, too. From polyanthas to hybrid teas, roses are wonderful.

    Limoges? Vicki I purchased the exact same oval one (at the back with the centre rose on it), when I was in Paris. When I saw yours, my heart skipped a beat and I was back there for a brief millisecond. Sigh! A-M xx

    Sweet little eggs. I have a tiny one that I put in my daughter's Easter basket each year. Every year, it's the same egg but filled with different little surprise...

    My grandmother lived on a farm and she always grew sturdy flowers like 4 O'clocks and hollyhocks and zinnias. But on her china, kept safe inside the house, there were roses of all colors. I have that china now. I'm glad those roses lasted.

    Hi Vicki,
    I left you a comment on your beautiful Iceberg roses saying, I think, that I was a little envious and now, you show me these divine pale pink ones making me even more envious !!
    I think that I must pick some of my David Austin St. Swithin's roses that are quite prolific at the moment. XXXX

    I love roses too but I love little boxes even more because they don't die. I thought of you every time I passed a floral display when I was in Paris this weekend. I took several photos too - with you in mind.
