Garden Treasures - Heirloom Roses .. AT MY ROSE GARDEN

Sometimes it's fun to go on a treasure hunt in the garden.  Of course, a treasure hunt with children in the garden is fun, where you hide chocolates or other treats and watch the fun and excitement. This treasure hunt is different ..

If you look at the right time, you might find gossamer-fine lace, exquisitely wrought by a master artist, and in-laid with crystals.

Buff Beauty - Hybrid Musk

Or an abundance of Buff Beauty's quilled petals, delicately folded upon each other and clustered together to create gorgeous pompoms deliciously perfumed.

Triomphe de Luxembourg - Tea

Here is pink perfection with Triomphe de Luxembourg's large silky petals, placed with precision around a high centre.

Windermere - English rose

Perhaps the treasure is a lovely scent caught in the breeze, as in the rich rose perfume of Windermere, overflowing from its falling petals.  

Francis Dubreuil - Tea

And sometimes the treasure surprises, with the strong rose fragrance of the Tea rose, Francis Dubreuil catching you unawares as you admire it's velvety, dark red blooms.

And after finding these heirloom treasures, what could be lovelier than gathering them into a lush, deliciously perfumed bouquet.  Add a few sprigs of fragrant herbs and you have treasure to share.  

Treasures that can be enjoyed often ..
