"This old world that we're livin' in
Is might hard to beat.
You get a thorn with every Rose
But - ain't the roses sweet?"
Frank Stanton
They are a little late in blooming this year but finally we are seeing roses. The first one is from my garden at home, I don't know the actual name but I call it my Peppermint rose.
The rest of the roses are from a small rose garden at one of our local parks. There are a lot of lavender colored roses this year, the lavender and pinks are so beautiful.

Quote It Saturday is a really fun meme from Freda's Voice, won't you pop over and take a look?

The roses are gorgeous. My father loved his roses. Every time I see one I think of him.
Gorgeous roses and you have a bonus bee too.
The first and the last ones have an amazing color, just perfect for a header photo. Beautiful macros!
Marvellous photos...you just have to dedicate them to all the Rosies you know who might be visiting this post! Ehem, I'm the first Rosie, by the way. Just love, love, love those beauties!

Oh, those roses are gorgeous. Can't remember the quote because I can't take my eyes off the roses. Beautiful, gorgeous, just lovely.
Luv the quote too.
Very pretty roses, such fabulous colors.
With dial up, yes I said I still have dial up, it took a while to load but worth the wait. Your roses are pretty. Mine are green but no buds yet.

Oh, that beautiful perfect purple rose! I love them all, but that one is exquisite. I can see why you made it your header picture. :-)
roses are really pretty whatever the color is ..
Oh my Lolly, those are beautiful flowers. My Mom would surely love your roses. Thank you so much for joining!
Peppermint is a perfect name for your beautiful rose. Many years ago I had an ivy geranium that was called peppermint. I love anything red.
I agree the lavender rose is stunning....it almost looks velvety to the touch,
Happy Saturday to you all,
Madi and Mom

Your photos have such wonderful detail, including the busy bee. This is a nice assortment of colors, too. A deer came through our yard and nipped off all our rosebuds and tomato plants; I'm sure it was a darling little Bambie. :)
I love your 'peppermint rose'. Just remember, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet!

Happy Color Connections!
I am reminded of the quote...“The splendor of the rose and the whitness of the lily do not rob the little violet of it’s scent nor the daisy of its simple charm. If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its lovliness.”
Your Roses are drop dead gorgeous! Coincidentally, I have posted a blog on Lilies :) hence thought of sharing the quote above.
wow love the shots...
thanks for sharing
Here's our Color Connection Entry by the way

I love the bloom and hate the plant...
Squee! I haven't looked at your blog in a while and I LOVE these photos! I also love the bee. :) I'm actually drawing a picture from memory of a bee I was watching on a Dandelion one day when I was in Jr High. :) Funny how those things tend to match up.

Colorful Weekend..
Inviting you to join Orange Tuesdays..open tomorrow till Saturday.

These roses are fantastic and beautiful. I love the multi-colors one.
All of them are pretty!
Beautiful shots!!! I especially like the last image -- so delicate, fine texture and detail. AND, your header pic is really eye-catching, almost surreal. I guess all the other squirrels enjoy having you as their queen -- grin
A lady after my own heart I love roses and these are beautiful.
Rosy Day it is. You made my day with the lovely pink roses you have here. I'm glad I dropped by.
