I like this one that is so descriptive. I used to have an aunt who said in the winter I don't need any perfume and in the summer I just pin a Gardenia on. I really like the photos as well. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara

Back to say congratulations on your win! Sitting here with a band aid on my index finger after going a couple of rounds with one of my rose bushes. I can empatize with you on rose wounds!

Thank you Sam, but aren't they worth it for a bit of blood. We had to get rid of a lot which was a shame. Tom

In an English Rose Garden (' never promised you a 'Rose Garden') by Lynn Anderson who died recently but you managed to made an English Rose Garden sound heavenly and vividly splendid with your poetic talent Tom. Good luck in the contest. Blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you Jennifer, I remember that song well, I didn't know she'd passed away. We have a few roses but nothing like the picture. Tom

Tom, in my estimation, there's no garden like an English rose garden. You have brought to life the sights and scents so well. Congrats on your win in the summer haiku contest ~ John
