The local stores have their rose bushes out for display..............

and I found myself wanting to buy one of every color! I am slowly, ............and I do mean slowly,.................creating a flower garden that I am hoping will stand the test of time. Roses are one of the kinds of flowering plants that I am incorporating into the garden's design.

Where would we be without the beauty of roses? 

They wave to us in the warm spring air,  

they are our most welcomed guest at our dinner table. Who can resist china adorned with roses?? I know I can't!

And for me..................how can I not stitch them................constantly! Embroidering roses is a way for me to .............garden inside!

 I want to share this pattern with you today. Just click onto the photo to get it to enlarge to copy. 

  Pale pink and salmon roses always tug at my heart....................I think I will chose the colors that are in the china in the previous photo to embroider this design..................

How about you? What is your favorite color in roses?

Deep dark red?............Vibrant yellow and orange? Maybe the elegant white?

I would love to hear!
