Rosa ‘Madame de Sancy de Parabere’ bred by Boursault in 1845, another rare Old Garden Rose that I photographed at Mottisfont Abbey Gardens. To me the beautiful, light pink, large double, flat open blooms of it perfectly resemble old fashioned powder puffs. In Mottisfont the rose had become a gigantic climber, of a size that there was no way to fit it into a little IG square, so I chose to at least post a close up. I am thinking of all of you suffering from the icy cold right now and hope that this beauty will bring you some joy and remind you that spring will come eventually. Just hang in there! #madamedesancydeparabere #rosamadamedesancydeparabere #rose #roses #rosa #rosas #oldgardenroses #oldgardenrose #climber #climbingrose #pink #lightpink #largeblooms #powderpuffs #largefloweredclimber #boursault #mottisfont #mottisfontabbey #mottisfontgardens #mottisfontabbeygardens #rosegarden #rosegardens #nationaltrust #england #organicgardendreams (at Mottisfont, National Trust)
