Roses are upon us.

Sunday morning and the roses were out along with the sunshine.
 A couple of houses first, not there yet.
 Roses!




 I call these Pom Poms. Don't know them by another name!

The yellow is my favourite

Nitebyrd thanks, they are blooming everywhere at the moment. Around my suburb we all have gardens that are right on the street so easy to photograph. X

Nursemyra I almost walked past the yellow. It was all alone and looking slightly forlorn, however it just had to have it's photo taken. My favourite too. X

Reminds me of a favourite poem :
Pierre de RONSARD (1524-1585)




Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Qui ce matin avoit desclose
Sa robe de pourpre au Soleil,
A point perdu ceste vesprée
Les plis de sa robe pourprée,
Et son teint au vostre pareil.

Las ! voyez comme en peu d'espace,
Mignonne, elle a dessus la place
Las ! las ses beautez laissé cheoir !
Ô vrayment marastre Nature,
Puis qu'une telle fleur ne dure
Que du matin jusques au soir !

Donc, si vous me croyez, mignonne,
Tandis que vostre âge fleuronne
En sa plus verte nouveauté,
Cueillez, cueillez vostre jeunesse :
Comme à ceste fleur la vieillesse
Fera ternir vostre beauté.
