Love of the Old Fashioned Garden Roses

The old roses from times past have a special, soft and sweet beauty and usually a wonderful, strong and sweet perfume. Their delicate colours change a little depending on the weather and

temperature. Many are summer flowering but there are some that are repeat flowering during the autumn.

This video is meant to be a little tribute to the roses that I love. There are also some images of beautiful and romantic interiors that were decorated with roses as a theme.
