My favourite rose is at its best at present. Margaret Merril, a lovely ivory white, or rather whipped cream.
The breeder was Jack Harkness, now no longer with us. He 'designed' some wonderful roses. Another one I particularly like is called "Bridge of Sighs" and is a lovely orange climber.
My find this week has been the use of tables inside posts. This means that the text is easier to read when I change the background colour. I find light coloured lettering on black very hard on the eyes but images look better on black. The best of both worlds? The physical find has been a strangly shaped blue vase: it is round from the front, but narrow from the sides. Makes for interesting pictures and I have been playing with it ever since I got it home. The glaze has cracked uniformly, either deliberately or by accident. Whatever, it looks beautiful. 'Craquelé' or 'Craquelure' always appeals to me, unless it is on my face :-) Count yourselves lucky that I'm only showing about 2% of the number of pictures I took of this combination :-) The rose is so pretty: not too many petals and very photogenic, both at the full-blown stage and in tight bud. The scent is unbelievable. It is a very tall bush rose and this year there are about a dozen flowers on it. My pearl of wisdom for today: MAY ALL YOUR WEEDS BE WILDFLOWERS |

What a great find using tables inside a blog, for great reasons. Your rose is just beautiful, and a great find on the vase, especially with crackles, and unusual and very attractive shape.
love your photos...that rose is so beautiful up against that gorgeous bowl...what a great find!
I will have to have a look around for tables, not sure what you are doing with it but it is a good find for your blog to change things up. Your rose is wonderful
Thank you for that top view of the vase, great visual. Love the color of it. I am very drawn to turquoise this year.
Your rose is, indeed, exquisite. And the cracked pot a perfect accompaniment! Nicely done!
