How nice it is to join Vee
in her first
My friend Dawn has a huge
bush of this wonderful old
tea rose - General Gallieni
in her garden.
It has blooms continuously
from Spring through to Autumn.
I love how the blooms vary
from soft pink to rose
then apricot to deep red.
A mixed bowl with Iceberg
is lovely too.
The bowl sits on the hutch
between our kitchen and
dining room.
A good place for the 'General'
with the Eiffel Tower in
the background
he should feel at home!
Thank you Vee for hosting
another Note Card Party
I'm looking forward to
visiting as many of you
as I can.
WELCOME
to my new followers

ReplyDeleteGeneral Gallieni - a very dashing Frenchman indeed! What a gorgeous rose! I hope it smells like a rose as I can imagine that it does!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea roses.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning rose! How lovely that your neighbor shares her bounty with you. I would certainly enjoy having such a set of note cards.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous roses! These photos would make beautiful notecards. Have a wonderful day. Blessings, Pamela

Delicious blooms and the colours are just scrummy! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! That is such a nice color. And these images would make terrific note cards.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing missing from your lovely pictures is the rose's fragrance! Oh wait...when I look at them longer I do believe I am smelling them after all.
ReplyDelete(Counting on the technical people to one day make photo fragrance real... For flower photos, baby heads and puppy breath for sure!)
Dearest Shane,
ReplyDeleteRoses always make for a lovely note card!
Hugs to you,

A sheer delight and hope it is filling your house with a gorgeous fragrance as well as beauty!

Hello Shane,
ReplyDeleteYour roses are so beautiful and must make you really happy having them in the vase in your home.
Sorry to hear you had the flu and hope you are feeling better now.
Happy Thursday

Beautiful roses! The colors are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI just love that rose! I usually love the David Austin ones, but this is lovely! xC
ReplyDeleteRoses make the most beautiful cards. Your photos are so lovely...you can almost smell the sweet scent!
ReplyDeleteYour roses are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI salute the General for his beautiful roses! Do they smell good as well?
ReplyDeleteI guess it's summertime where you are-so lucky.
Roses here in UK seem to have lost out regarding fragrance - they look stunning but rarely smell. I have discovered many varieties in NZ (old fashioned and untampered with) this year and long for the old varieties. Hope yours smell divine too as there is nothing quite as wonderful as rose perfume.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of the General, but it is a gorgeous rose indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh, my....these beautiful photos of beautiful flowers would make AWESOME note cards. If I received one, I would frame it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for coming by and following...I am about to become your newest follower.
hugs, bj
