No sign of any roses blooming in the garden yet, so here are some bought from a shop sitting in a vase in my dining room 🙂

Weekly Smile… Finally
It’s been a ridiculously long time since I joined in with a Weekly Smile, but here I am at last with something to say!
Things that have made me smile this week include:
- Successfully completing this year’s April Blogging from A-Z Challenge
- Spending quality time working in the garden with my husband, enjoying the fresh air and companionship
- Orange roses bought for me just because… ❤
Orange Roses in a Vase
More Orange Roses
More orange roses for today’s Flower of the Day… 🙂
Orange Rose
One deep orange rose out of a bunch of deep orange roses currently sitting in a vase on my dining room table ❤
Red Rambling Rose
There is a red climbing rose bush growing at the side of the narrow path between the house on one side and the garage and shed on the other. It’s an odd place to have a climbing rose, trapped and almost invisible between the walls of three buildings, but from the size of the old root I’m assuming the rose bush actually predates the current kitchen extension and relatively new garage and shed, so would at one time have been situated apart from the house in the old garden, which would make much more sense. Anyway, once these flowers have finished blooming I’ll prune the bush back to let it rest over the winter months, but for today it is my Flower of the Day ❤
Pink Roses in Winter
Most of my rose bushes have already been pruned for the winter, but there were a couple of buds left on one or two stems and it seemed cruel to cut them back before they had a chance to bloom, so I left them alone… So here are the pink ones in flower, much smaller and far less showy than in the summer months but looking pretty enough nonetheless 🙂
Orange Rose with Shadow
