Wild Roses









Travelling home this afternoon
I noticed that,

although the local council had cut a lot
of the hedge sides,





there were still areas left for the wildflowers

and

the hedge tops are full of
wonderful honeysuckle and wild roses!





In the evening the scent is wonderful!















The wild roses in the hedgerow can be white














or pink.....











Doesn't creation do a wonderful job without our help?!











Sometimes...I am ...almost overwhelmed....

by

the beauty I see around me.....

  5. Your shots of the pink ones are just divine!!! We used to have a big wild rose bush out back on our fence, and I finally let Phil cut it down because it stuck him and gave him a lot of trouble mowing. I have always regretted it, the beauty is gone and you cannot buy them as they are considered invasive. But I love being invaded by beauty, don't you?

  10. Beautiful photo's. I have a rampant rambling rose on my back fence, a cutting from one at my grandparents house. A special reminder. I once knew the name of it , but alas, I've forgotten over time.

  13. Our honeysuckle is over, alas. Our wild roses are almost all pale pink. How nice to see the different shades you have there! Is that foxglove in the top two pictures?
