What Vicki said! Simply beautiful photo! What are those sweet little lavender flowers in the background?

That's a Nemesia, not sure which one, they come back all the time and are just lovely peaking in between the plants.

Thanks! Sigh, those little guys just refuse to grow for me. Maybe I'll try winter sowing them.....if I ever see the ground again.

Both flowers, Rose and Nemesia, have an old fashioned, even Victorian look, maybe that is what lends itself to seeming to be an old variety.
Guess what's old is new again, huh?

I love this banner.

Oh, what a gorgeous banner, Sue!!

Just lovely! I don't think I've ever seen such a full bloom!

Is there a name for the way the rose is enfolded within it's outer petals?

Truly charming and I am sticking to my story

This banner is so pretty, I wish we could keep it for a few days!
