Magnificent Obsession...

Our roses are in their glory this summer.
Such a wonderful display and so many blooms.
I am obsessed with roses...
it is a passion with such power that surprises me even to this day.

It started out so innocently with a couple of rose bushes
which has, over the years, become an obsession.
I suppose there could be worse things to be so crazy about...

Look at some of the roses that are putting on a show this month in our garden.


Summertime in The Humble Bungalow Garden 
Constance Spry roses....


Foxgloves


Such a pretty flower
the bees like to fly right up inside 


Here's a bee gathering pollen from the Pink Pavement Series rose.


Gertrude Jekyll
a really fragrant rose in The Humble Bungalow Garden.


William Shakespeare a David Austin red rose.


Our most recent David Austin rose Jubilee Celebration.


Rose Petals litter the garden
like pink snow.


Climbing Royal Sunset
this rose continues to amaze me
its a lush climber with an apricot rose 
whose fragrance smells heady and intoxicating.

I have not shared the Iceberg climber, Graham Thomas, Jude the Obscure, Abraham Darby, Joesph's Coat or the 4 Claire Austins in this post...


I am trying to figure out where in the garden that I can plant a few more roses!

Hope you have enjoyed these snippets of roses from our garden. 

Thank you for popping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
