{Our Oregold Roses and AARS Winner}

On April 12, our new yellow Oregold roses and AARS winners, were blooming! What a joy and they performed rather quick, considering that we bought them at Costco on February 16. They were in the ground just before we flew to Curaçao. It makes me very happy for being able to fill vases with ROSES!
Yellow Oregold roses and more yellow gold tones. Our Quercus Virginiana Grand View Gold, golden live oak, makes a perfect back drop. 
Coffee will be served in Pieter's special 1960s cup & saucers from Potterie de Driehoek in Huizen, North Holland (NH) The Netherlands.
Of course, coffee with chocolates...
Pieter did snip off these white Kalanchoe blossoms from a plant that lived inside the greenhouse during winter. Fits perfect in my tiny Silver Roses bud vase!
Oregold is a perfect rose. One can tell why it was one of the AARS winners!
Okay, have to rush inside as the dark chocolate covered pomegranate seeds from Costco start melting...
They are one of my favorites and I allow myself 3, and that will certainly not spike up my blood sugar levels too much.
Do you enjoy fresh roses from your garden as much as I  do?
Tell me if you too find roses a romantic mood setter, combined with chocolates...

  5. Heerlijk al zo vroeg van je rozen genieten in het voorjaar! En de witte bloemetjes zijn ook prachtig. Ja bij mij bloeien de rozen ook al, de maand mei is de rozenmaand in Zuid-Frankrijk, de zomer is te heet daarvoor.Chocola en rozen? Hmmm allebei lekker.

    Groetjes Janny

  11. Hello Mariette! Your roses are absolutely beautiful and I'm sure they smell divine! My mother in law cut me a rose from her garden and I couldn't stop sniffing it...the scent was so amazing...roses from the grocery store don't even come close!
    I'm not much of a chocolate eater but chocolate covered pomegranate seeds sound interesting!

  12. Een prachtige kleur roos Mariette! Tot nu toe heb ik alleen maar rozen in rozetinten en lila in de tuin staan, maar ik ben geel steeds mooier te vinden.

    Een fijne dag!

  15. Dearest Mariette, Yes, those yellow roses and chocolates would put the ice man in a romantic mood.
    That coffee set up for two is lovely and the tree almost looks like a screen. It is beautiful, I have seen it in another post. It is a great tree. Thanks for sharing you coffee time with us.
    Love to you, Ginger

  17. Oh dear Mariette!

    How delightful your table setting is! The yellows ~ simply wonderful, the roses ~ breath taking! And the chocolate covered pomegranate seeds from Costco??? How did I miss those on Sunday when I was at Costco??? Yum!!!

    No roses in my garden here in Saskatchewan ~ we don't have the weather for it. But I will sit back and enjoy your delightful yellow ones.

    Lovely.

    xo Catherine

  18. Fantastic colours. Too bad I don't have garden to enjoy in (but it is on my "someday" list).
    And I LOVE eating chocolate, especially during the melting process. :)

  19. Dear Mariette,

    Roses and chocolate, nothing more beautiful and romantic.
    Your yellow roses are so pretty and I wonder if they have a sweet fragrance?
    I know a lot of the new varieties do not have a scent.
    How delicious the chocolate covered pomegranate seeds would be.

    Hope that you are enjoying the week
    Hugs
    Carolyn
