Excitingly, this weekend I saw two blooms on the red rose bush closest to our front steps, so there's a chance that if the deer don't come by for round two, we might get some blooms this month on that bust at least. I haven't actually seen them that close, but have spotted them only a few feet further away and it truly is a majestic sight to behold.<br /><br />Same here! The smell of roses is so incredibly lovely. I just bought a small (glass jar type) rose candle a couple of weeks ago to burn throughout the summer for an extra hit of that classic scent.<br /><br />Many hugs & happy Tuesday wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-13896205473684379842016-06-07T14:40:11.313-07:002016-06-07T14:40:11.313-07:00How exciting!

I hope that you get to watch them. Great selection of rose related items. I do like a rose print and am particularly partial to 1950's blue rose prints.

I have (and you've seen them on Instagram) vintage roses, their flowers are as big as an average salad-head :D Being an old variety, they do tend to grow tall, with strong stems. On the other hand, I have two PINK bush roses, as wild as a bush can be! They are rampant, they bloom madly, and it break me into tears (ever time) when I have to cut HUNDREDS of flowers in one go - since they are SO OLD, they fall into that "blooming twice a year in a large burst" category.<br />Everything rose-related is divine.<br />Thank you for sharing these.<br /><br />M.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04034764185511908294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-17597492670222322732016-06-01T23:30:55.613-07:002016-06-01T23:30:55.613-07:00How can we be mad at adorable animals for eating o...How can we be mad at adorable animals for eating our flowers?

They can be sweet, supportive (as in, given during difficult times), sophisticated, and seductive, just depending on their colour and context, and I really couldn't love them more than I do. <br /><br />Congratulations on receiving three rose plants for free. Gardeners are such giving folks. I often go to local yard sales and see people giving away or putting super low prices on clippings, seeds, shoots, etc from their own gardens. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your fantastic, photo filled email, my beautiful friend.

Rabbits are a super rare sight around these parts. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one in our town, but did spot some back in 2013 while we were on holiday to Calgary, Alberta, and that was certainly a memorable element of our trip (especially since Tony and I are both huge rabbit fans - so much so, in fact, that one of my nicknames for him is "Bunny").<br /><br />Big hugs & happy start of June wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-50857769679080493472016-06-01T13:33:15.402-07:002016-06-01T13:33:15.402-07:00That's an excellent point, dear Akram, thank y...That's an excellent point, dear Akram, thank you very much for raising it.
