The romance of roses...
These pale pink beauties are gracing my parent's garden. What was a mere stem a year ago has transformed into an arch of scented pink. Not quite a rose but striking nonetheless. Strong colours are wonderfully visceral. Last year, or it might have been the year before, my mum gave me their rose plant as they had put a new one in. Again, from a little stem with roots a colourful vista has made itself at home in front of our ' pigsty '. A red siren enjoying a morning's breeze among the blades of grass. A shadowy stage presence! A yellow rose at start of a row of vine is more than a symbol of beauty...the wine farmers use the health of the roses as an indicator for the health of the soil...Biggi
