"Not favored spots alone, but the whole earth
The beauty wore of promise, that which sets
The budding rose above the rose full blown."
William Wordsworth
Nothing in the flower world compares to the sight and scent of full-blown garden roses in May. This is a David Austin English variety called Brother Cadfael, named after the fictional character in the Ellis Peter murder mystery books. All roses are finicky, but Brother Cadfael has been carefree from the start. Despite the delicate pink flowers, this variety is so vigorous he can actually grow up to 8 feet tall.
So, one more 85 degree day to enjoy before we head into a cool and showery weekend. Hope you have a good one.
