It's June. It's a chilly grey day, a day to light all the scented candles and brew a hot cup of tea, a day for laundry and sewing. Out on the the beach however, the dunes roses are undaunted. They burst into bloom promptly on June first. Their sweet perfume fills the still foggy air today.
The hardy wild native beach roses grow on each side of the pathway over the dunes. White roses are rare, pink is the usual color. Both are filled with bumble bees on sunny mornings and smell delightful.
Remember this?
This is much nicer....
Have a beautiful weekend! Bring your coffee and meet me at the bench?

What a great place to walk Mo. The roses are known as Rugosa roses and I have a couple in the garden. They also come in a tall hedge variety and we have a hedge of them along the front of the property. I have to prune them back every second year because they grow too tall but they are just a mass of flowers in the Summer.

Oh how I am in love with your roses!!!! Not only the beach and the sea? But you have roses too? Lucky gal. I get to see my sea in a few weeks. :) Have a great week! Kit
ReplyDeleteLove your roses. None here at our beach.
ReplyDeleteI always love the pics that look off into the distance on your walkway. What a beautiful perspective.
I hope your week is off to a great start.
Aloha,
Hunter
I would love to!
ReplyDeleteI'm late commenting on this one, but I loved seeing all the roses. The 'wild' roses smell so good! To me it just isn't really a good rose if it doesn't smell good.
ReplyDeleteFor being a 'gray' day, your pictures sure did come out colorful. Very nice. Wish I was there!
