{Our Royal Bonica Rose}

Proudly I want to show you our one and only survivor of the Royal Bonica roses that we used to have several of. It was quite a show when Pieter offered me the first fragile blossom. One of our favorite pinks. Not fragrant but very pretty as you will see from these photos below. Too bad most died last year from the heat...
This Royal Bonica Rose got a royal treatment... 
Is she not a beauty?
Sitting proudly on a Gien Rose Canapé plate...
Inside a sterling silver Repoussé Rose vase.
On the windowsill in our living room. Placing a cereal bowl from Gien Rose upside down to elevate the silver vase with the Royal Bonica.
Even the leaves are pretty on this Royal Bonica Rose.
She might not be back to full restored health yet but she will be stronger and fuller we hope.
This is  from several years back when we used to have a vase full of Royal Bonica. 
Displayed here on our kitchen table in a crystal Baccarat pitcher. 
We certainly have to find some more Royal Bonica rose bushes so we once again can fill a vase with these beauties...
Fond memories!
Tell me, do you have a favorite rose or color rose as well with some special memories?

  8. She is so beautiful and I really love the sweet little silver rose vase. I love all my roses, but can't always remember their names. One that still has it's original tag is English Rose,which is funny because my Scottish hubby calls me that,(I grew up in England) xx

  13. That vase full of roses is so beautiful. I saw on another blog the other day instructions for making rose petal beads for jewelry. Fascinating! Love those little turtles all lined up on a stick on the pond. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I can't believe how fast time is flying each and every day lately. wishing you all the best, Tammy

  21. Liebe Mariette,
    die Rose ist wirklich prächtig. Hoffentlich findest du noch ein paar Exemplare, denn der Strauß sieht fantastisch aus. Stimmt es, dass Blumen in silbernen Vasen länger halten?
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

  26. What a beautiful flower! I love the vase and the plate you used for your Royal Bonica rose, too. Vase full of roses looks cheerful and lovely while just one rose is so elegant and precious. I love both ways :-)
