Jude’s garden challenge theme this month is the ‘Essence of Summer’. At the weekend I went to Northernhay, a park in the centre of town that I hadn’t been to for years. i don’t even remember it being planted as abundantly, but the borders were a credit to the gardeners, and they made my heart sing, especially the roses.
Visit Jude for some fragrant lilies, to see what others are posting and perhaps to join in.

Does my English heart good to see all these gorgeous roses
Gorgeous roses .. Bet they smelt divine too 😄
I love roses, Gilly and it does seem to be a good year from them. But sadly some of mine were badly battered by Saturday night’s heavy rain.
Beautiful rose captures! This is the peak time for roses here. 🙂
Glad spring’s still in session from where you at too. 🙂
Beautiful work, Gilly!
