These grow at the back edge of our property. They have small thorns and they do smell like a rose.
Thank you everyone for all your fantastic comments and favs for placing my "Toadstool" on the Popular Page! I greatly appreciate it very much!
We call these Cherokee Roses here and they grow wild. Haven't seen any in years and what a wonderful reminder!!! Play dough huh, what a great idea for a lot of things. Thanks for the tip!! Beautiful capture and such a lovely rose! FAV!
The words, "wild rose' are so romantic! And I recognise this to be one of these beauties often painted just like this, especially on asian type surfaces!
