Port Sunlight Roses

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

Robert Burns (1759-1796)
The rose photographs are from my visit last summer. The village is certainly missing a special rose these days! Maybe I should persuade David Austin Roses to name a rose after Mum.... ‘completely bonkers’ or ‘mad as a hatter’ or maybe just simply ‘Nancy’.

    Indeed a 'Rose amongst roses'! I think, no, I WILL create an origami or paper rose in Mum's memory and name it after her, suitably of course! It will be in her favourite colour, green!x

      Sarah has just told me you can get green roses apparently!
