La Vie en Rose

I don’t like pink anywhere else than in the garden. Right now pink blooms

are seen here and there - most of all in roses. My Rosa rugosa shrubs are blooming:

Zwerg, Snow pavement = Schneekoppe, Rotes Meer, Jens Munk, Belle poitevine, Hansa....

Also the Bourbon rose Louise Odier looks especially fine this summer ❤︎

It did not freeze last winter and shows now good growth and a lot of blooms & buds.

I noticed that there are a few wild sprouts - their different leaves can clearly be seen 

and there were also a few blooms. Probably the base used in grafting is Rosa laxa, 

that has small, simple, almost white flowers. Have not yet removed them, I know I should...

Wishing a beautiful weekend!

Everybody knows Edith Piaf’s La Vie en Rose, but I chose also a cover by
the young Canadian Daniela Andrade who has a lovely voice and the lyrics is in English.
