Knowing how Eileen likes white flowers I thought she would like this one. Our first white rose this summer

Thanks everyone I knew you would like it Eileen. We used to have a rose 'Blue Moon' but sadly it popped its clogs a few years back. Must get another, they are beautiful. In the meantime, feast your eyes on this beauty. I took the photo when we visited the Gardens of the Rose which is quite near to us.

I would love to see that gorgeous white rose bush planted with the lilac one - wouldn't they just look perfect together?
Hey, You just given me a fantastic idea!! I want to change the colours of my living room and wouldn't those two colours just look brilliant? So fresh and clean.
Thanks Pat!!!

Very beautiful.
GG -- what does it mean when a rose "popped it's clogs?" That is a funny expression.

Daisy 'popped its clogs' means that the rose just up and died!! We have some quaint expressions here in the UK don't we?
