Souvenir de mme Leonie Viennot .. and the Church on the Hill
The gardens in front of the Church on the Hill are looking very colourful at the moment so thought they deserved a stop and photo.. The rose has been growing over the 'Old Bus Stop' for 'ever' and is always the first rose that shows colour.. It is a heritage rose and found in many old gardens..
You do know the right angle to take a photo like this, Julia! Most churches are built on a hill - I suppose so everyone can see them. Never heard of this rose but will look out for it! fav
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie.. It is a lovely Church was a Methodist but now ran by a Japanese group .. The Rose is lovely and if you have the room worth planting but does need support ..
