I find myself browsing my old pictures of favorite roses and gardens often these days. With my garden at its best, I always see one more spot for another Damask.
Above, last year’s portraits of my newly planted old roses, followed by a picture of unknown provenance of Mottisfont Abbey, the mecca for lovers of old roses, and the back cover of Roses by Jane Fearnly-Whittingstall. May you escape in these pictures as well as I can!
Until next time, stay shabby!
