A pretty little rose

January 9, 2008 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

This is a beautiful English Rose called Sharifa Asma. It has a lovely perfume like scent, but unlike some of my other roses the scent doesn’t waft in the air for any great distance. This is a rose that you must get up close to in order to appreciate it’s beauty and lovely scent.

I just love my roses. I grow a number of English roses, Antique roses, Hybrid teas and Floribundas. I wonder what will happen when spring and summer comes along and my puppy gets to spend more time in the backyard garden? I hope my roses survive!

The romantic rose

This lovely rose is Yves Piaget a Romantica Rose. When this rose first blooms it has the classic hybrid tea look, but as the rose ages it petals open up as above. Doesn’t it have a floppy free spirited kind of look?

This rose blooms several times throughout the growing season, but it doesn’t bloom as much as I’d like. I’d love it to be full of flowers most of the time as they have a lovely scent.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.

Did you know that leashes are tasty?

This weeks theme is delicious

Labrador Retriever Puppy Midnight

I think our Lab puppy, Midnight, finds her leather leash to be absolutely delicious. She’s always trying to chew on it when we first put it on her. In the above photo I’d put the leash on before I got my winter coat and other gear on so she had time to settle down for a good chew.

Here’s an areal view:

Labrador Retriever Puppy Midnight

She already chewed through, or well just about chewed through, her vinyl leash just before Christmas. I wonder how long this one will last?

As you can see she’s grown a bit and I think she’s gained some weight. She’s doing a lot better although I think she’s still fighting something. She goes for her third set of shots on Monday.

Double Delight just Delightful

I had to replace a few of my roses last year as I lost some due to the mild winter that we had … This winter has lots of snow cover so far so I’m hoping that all my roses and other plants make it this time round.

This rose, Double Delight, is one of the replacement roses that I purchased. I bought it to replace Fragrant cloud. Isn’t it a lovely rose? I love the multiple shades of pink and white within each flower.

Double Delight is a very popular hybrid rose. I can now see why! It has a light scent and the blooms seem to last for days. I think I’m going to enjoy this rose.

Melting old snow sure is messy!

This weeks theme is Messy

IMG_2796

Remember that storm that I said we had two weeks ago? Well I took this photo two weeks ago Sunday in the evening once most of the snow had finished falling. Pretty messy huh?

That’s our car in the foreground on the right in the driveway, and our neighbors car on the street surrounded by a mountain of snow.

We’ve had temperatures around freezing or just above freezing mostly since that time so the snow’s been melting slowly. We’ve even had some rain and a thunder storm or two as well. Imagine, thunder in December! Weird. Very weird.

Since we haven’t had much new snow, only a dusting, the melting piles of snow are kind of dirty from car exhaust and look quite yucky. Midnight, our puppy tends to do some of her business on our front lawn so our snow is starting to have a bit of a yellow tinge to it as well. Do you know how hard it is to keep a puppy from eating dirty snow that’s on the lawn or in the snow banks we pass on our walks!
