My hardy wild rose is ignoring the cold weather
and putting on a swirling cream and red show.

New buds continue to form,
but I am missing the bees that frolicked from flower to flower
just a month ago.

Although my first name is Rosemary, I've always felt more akin with roses than the herb and anyone who has been at the other end of one of my barbed retorts would tend to agree.
My husband loves to call me Rosebud
(makes me smile every time.)

Luckily he is fully aware of the ancient Persian Proverb:
He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.

ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon :)

ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Thank you Joop, I love my one and only rose bush!
DeleteWow Rosemary, the first picture is stunning.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Irma
Thank you Irma, I like that shot as well :)
DeleteRosebud suits you very much Rosemary ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd not to mention that it is so romantic of your husband!
So I guess this post is about you eh? :D
Such beautiful roses, white with touch of pink and red!
Breathtakingly gorgeous, just like you :)
Thank you Ash, you are so sweet, I suspect you are a romantic as well :) Now I am blushing just like my roses!
DeleteI love both your word play and your seriously beautiful images, Rosemary. As an old newspaperman, I hear the clack-clack of ancient typewriters at any mention of the name Rosebud, thanks to the movie Citizen Kane. Your husband's calling you that is much more charming. As are you. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteI remember that movie. How serious the art of writing looked and sounded thanks to those typewriters!
DeleteMąż Cię nazywa Rosebud, widocznie jesteś dla niego różą. Zdjęcia róż są piękne. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteYou husband called Rosebud, apparently you are for him a rose. Photos roses are beautiful. Yours.
Thank you Giga, yes my husband is a very sweet guy :)
DeleteImágenes maravillosas!! Un abrazo.
ReplyDeleteThank you Silvina :)
DeleteSo beautiful. It is true that one must accept the thorns with the beauty (the good with the bad). Have a wonderful rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteYou know you married the right person when they think the good far outweighs the bad :)
DeleteRosemary is still a great plant:) Pretty blue flowers. Evergreen. And great scent! That first shot is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's always the silly joke we laugh at in the kitchen, "put some rosemary on that," or "pass me the rosemary," it never gets old :)
DeleteHello Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI suppose that you are proud of the new name. It is beautiful.
Your photos are wonderful!!
Thank you Lucia, I do like my nickname :)
