Love the photos. The rose looks like Leander, which, as others have said is a David Austin rose.

Just one more stitch to go. I'm going to take it to the post office this weekend to see what's involved in mailing it. Pics to come.

Judith said...

I totally changed my gift as it was to my expectations. So I am now busy to think what to make now. But the ornament is going perfect. And by stitching it I also got a new idea for the gift.

Sheryl said...

I love visiting open gardens... they can be so inspiring... that rose might be a 'Pierre De Ronsard' my friend has them lining her driveway and they are stunning....

Wendy said...

The rose is gorgeous! I can almost smell the rosey goodness! I am on track to mail out on time....

Angels Come to Play said...

Sheryl is right it is a 'Pierre De Ronsard'. I have 2 growing in my garden. I know a blogger who had posted some gorgeous pics of them last spring I have sent her an email to see if she can confirm the roses name. Have a happy day

Linda said...

Love the car and I have seen that rose before on a blog...she grows them but I can't remember the name...working on my SCCS...hope to be done before too long!!

Angels Come to Play said...

Hello again Chooky, gosh 2 comments in 2 days thats a first for me. Have checked with my blogger and got confirmation that the rose is "Pierre de Ronsard" it also comes in red. This lady lives in Melbourne and she gets 100's of flowers on her rose in spring it is a site to behold when in full flower. Sadly I cant find the actual post otherwise I would give you the link.

Hi

I think the rose is called Pierre De Ronsand - not sure about my spelling. It's a David Austin rose. :)

Nicky said...

Love the car, but not as much as I love that dunny! Gorgeous garden pics. SSCS is happening .......
