a rose by any other name.................

A pity that these roses from the supermarket don't have any scent but they certainly are a bright focus in our living room during this atrocious weather - strong wind, heavy rain and a storm here right now.
Just beautiful a fav for me

What a beautiful rose, such lovely colors. It's a shame our new hybrid roses don't have any scent, but at least their beauty lights up a room.
