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?
that is beautiful, mariette. perhaps more precious because it is the only bloom. :)
ReplyDeletei love white roses.
Oh, dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThat rose is so beautiful! It breaks my heart to hear that's the only bloom... so precious!

Hello my dear friend Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThis rose is so beautiful, I love roses, all kind of roses, they remind me at my mother, she loved roses, specially the red ones, so, every time I see a rose, she is in my mind.
Send you a big hug, with lots of love,

ReplyDeleteShe 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
ReplyDeleteShe is really a beauty Mariette in her silver vase!

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

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedie 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
