Luit, you know I'm always teasing, or "pulling your leg." ;D The rose in question, being a lady, is fragrant or sweet-scented or even sweet smelling, or perfumed, but if she just "smells," she may not have washed recently. :o ;D

Luit van Delft, right in the heart of the beautiful flowerbulb district, Noordwijkerhout, Holland.

Sadly Luit died on 14th October 2016 - happily we can still enjoy his posts to the Forum

Not on the beach but we did have a couple of days in Somerset.  We stopped at the Savill garden on the way back to see their new rose garden which was opened by the Queen in June.  It was very nice with swirling blocks of roses and a lovely central elevated walkway from which to look down on the roses but I have to admit not as dramatic as I had hoped - no climbing roses so it looked rather flat; I would have liked a high swooping arch to send some ramblers up.  They have a row of stone edged raised beds at the side of the garden which were lovely but I was surprised to see they hadn't put any miniature roses in them.  I include the allium picture for Mark Mc.

Arykana, you have a real passion for roses and it shows in each of your photos, do you ever write about them?

Thank you!

Love that first one Arykana, do you know its name?  It is such a lovely colour for autumn.
