I just can’t get enough of roses lately. What a color this beauty is!

Probably a David Austin rose, its many-petalled center like a peony makes this so romantic

This yellow beauty is my new favorite rose, my David Austin rose Julia Child. Butter yellow, for sure!

Sunshine glows through the petals of this Julia Child rose, seen from the back. Even the sepals are graceful.
