Anyway, I drove home to find Rob had cleaned the whole house and picked fresh flowers from the garden. This stunning rose was next to my bed. Which instantly made me forget the shopping.
I exclaimed over it's colour and form, and how beautiful it was. I couldn't tell which one is was so asked him. Rob looked a bit sheepish, and said "you're not going to be happy about this, it's Limona". I didn't quite get it at first, as Limona is a pale yellow. Rob had to spell it out, they've mislabeled the rose and I've planted it in the middle of my yellow roses! Maybe I shouldn't be so particular about my rose plantings, but this is going to stick out like a sore thumb! May need some rearranging over winter.
This weekend we're having guests over for lunch on Sunday, so there will be some cleaning, baking and cooking to be done.

Oooohhh, what a lovely surprise to find this next to your bed....maybe I should leave the laptop on this page and hope Sam has a look, maybe get some ideas....I could do with a little surprise of lovelyness like that!
A beautiful rose. Hazel, I've just found your space here. Many congratulations on your pregnancy :) I hope (other than bra shopping!) the journey is smooth sailing. x
I do like a man that does cleaning! And that rose - stunning! You'll be able to move it next winter and buy something to replace it - that's always a good thing.
Yes, I will get those cuttings going and hopefully have some plants for you in the new year :)
That rose is divine! WE have a deep red rose where we're renting and my cuttings failed. I need to take to a nursery to try and identify it - the rose is amazing, I've watched the flowers open during the course of the day. The scent is out of this world too! Where would we be without roses??!
