We may not have the sunshine this June, but the roses don't mind! It is the height of rose season here in Normandy, and every tiny village has walls covered in beautiful blooms.
Some of these pictures are from my garden and some are taken at friends homes,
or simply while walking to the village shop.
Hope your week gets off to a fragrant and flower filled start!
Just two more days to take part in the giveaway!!

Just gorgeous! I am waiting for my beautiful pink roses to bloom any day now!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Lorraine
The roses here are also in blume. We stick mostly to knockout roses because they tolerate the climate so well. It has been in the 90's and no rain for over two weeks, but the roses still keep bluming! Love the shades of red and pink there in Normandy. Worth a visit just to come and see them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My roses never give such a magnificent display because their little buds are always devoured as soon as they appear by hungry possums.
ReplyDeleteYour roses are out of this world!!!!!! SOOOOO beautiful, nothing like a lush, full in bloom pink rose!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Magnificent! Your home, roses, garden, house! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh la! Exactly what I needed today--a dose of pure beauty! Merci, Sharon et bon semaine! :)
ReplyDeleteSO pretty! It's a similar story here in England - my roses are out, but I can't sit out and enjoy them because of the dreadful rain!

ReplyDeleteOh Sharon, how gorgeous. I can imagine that all of Normandy must smell of sweet roses with such an abundance of beautiful blooms. We had a horrible, record-setting rainfall last week, which took it's toll on our roses, but on a Sunday morning I'm seeing new buds and am looking forward to new, fresh flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for beautiful start to the week! XO
Thank you! You brightened my day :)
ReplyDeleteLOvely,especially the first shot with alittle FRENCH FLY inside the rose!Just Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses!
ReplyDeleteHere in my garden in the UK, the roses are the only thing flowering at the moment.
Either the rabbits have eaten everything that looks a bit juicy, or the driving rain has toppled everything else!
Happy to share in the beautiful gardens in blog-land!
Hope you have a lovely day.

Goodness, roses are everywhere! I bet the scent is heavenly! I'm so sorry about the rain in June but I'm hoping that you will have a much sunnier July! :)
ReplyDeleteI am never disappointed when I open your blog posts and roses are my favourites!
ReplyDeleteThe first one looks like Constance Spry...
mine is chock full of blooms and is so heavily scented...
you can never have too many!

Ahhhh, I can just close my eyes and imagine the wonderful smell of all those magnificent roses! It brings back such treasured memories of my grandmother's little courtyard garden in Austria. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletesimply stunning pictures. xo
ReplyDeleteFor a second, I thought the 7th photo down was from my garden! I found a scrawny little rose plant struggling to get light in my backyard when I bought my house. I replanted it along my garden fence and it's been flourishing for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteDo you happen to know what this variety is called?
I missed seeing these roses bloom because I was in Ireland for 2 weeks. But I loved seeing these photos of yours.
I don't have this kind of antique-beauty/countryside where I live, so I feel when I gaze at your photos as if I'm in another world (where I'd rather be!). It's your eye, as many have spoken of before, but the color of aqua/turquoise seems like it's everywhere in the glimpses you give us of Normandy and its bounties, and nevermore gorgeous when a backdrop as a gate or shutter for the lush and prolific roses.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the rose photos! I love roses. I have a single bush out in the flowerbed (no garden at my condominium!) with beautiful gold and pink blooms. It just makes me want more!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Mine have a serious case of aphids at the moment! Ugh...
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to have so many charming views within the boundaries of your daily routine!
ReplyDeleteI love all of them, but that image with the faded green doors and pinkish red roses is so striking!

How wonderful is the rose. Such beauty and scent. At abandoned homes and cemetaries the roses grow beautifully without any care. Though they love to be fed, pruned and sprayed for blackspot and watered well, they can survive on total neglect and still thrive and put on a glorious show. Thank you for this beautiful post. It gladdens the spirit of this Antipodean.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely enchanting. There is no where that a rose can't grow and enhance the world surrounding it. thanks for a lovely walk through the roses!
ReplyDelete"Everything is coming up roses" to quote an old saying. The roses in my garden are also blooming like crazy. I'm enjoying every minute of it before they are gone. Thank you for the beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous roses and surrounding property. I am envious as mine are still in tight little buds ..
ReplyDeleteComplimenti per il blog meraviglioso....che meraviglia tutto quanto compreso il tuo giardino!
ReplyDeleteBuona giornata!
Anna
What a gorgeous collection of photos...The Roses look like they are all thriving this season...only wish I could inhale their delightful fragrance too!!!!....Thank you for sharing...Julia
ReplyDeletelove the beautiful photos! i have an old iron trellis in the barn that i think i'll 'install' in the garden and put a climbing old cottage-style rose on!
ReplyDeleteThe roses look wonderful - of course many of the most beautiful old shrub roses were produced by French breeders weren't they? And the Empress Josephine had that wonderful rose garden at La Malmaison - I wonder whether the rose garden still exists?
ReplyDeleteThose roses are wonderful, I can almost smell them!
ReplyDeleteSarah
Thank you for giving me "visual retreats"! I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!!!The roses are so beautiful!Great collection!Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHere in my Missoula Montana yard my yellow climber and peach floribunda opened this weekend...waiting now on two others...beautiful fragrance fills the air when roses bloom. Thanks for your great visit to your roses .. love your blog
ReplyDeleteOh Sharon....those roses are just stunning! I could look at your photos all day long ---- and then go out in my garden and plant more roses! :) Thank you for sharing the beauty today!
ReplyDeletexoxo laurie
Wow! Magnificent display of roses. Such beauty. Thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteThese flowers are just breathless. What a pity I can adore them while sitting in my pathetic garden with no roses at all :]
ReplyDeleteRegards!
Stunning, makes me want to pack my bags and move out of Florida.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. i just bought back a whole bunch of roses from Normandy. And oh, the roses at Giverny and Moutiers.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the photos!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I forget how beautiful are roses when they can climb and cover whole facades. Mine don't have that pleasure.
