It is a little past the middle of winter and I am missing the rose blooms. Here in Austin, where my husband and I chose to live, we truly have four seasons, even though we didn’t have any snow yet this year, we did have substantial frosts and nature is resting. My garden is predominantly green and brown and except pansies I don’t have anything else flowering at the moment. So the joy when the roses start to bloom again will be great, that is for sure. In the moment I just revel in the anticipation of this years rose season to come and pass the time by digging out old photos like this one. Unfortunately, I don’t know the name of this beauty but I am fascinated by the quartered bloom form which leads me to believe that this is an Old Garden Rose (if you have any idea what rose variety this could be, please let me know in the comments!). I also love the many subtle shades of pink appearing in just this one bloom. The complexity of this rose flower is quite fascinating to me! Are you also dreaming of the upcoming rose season? Wishing you a lovely Tuesday! #organicgardendreams #rose #roses #pinkrose #pinkroses #rosebloom #roseflower #roseflowers #pink #gardening #missingtheroses #dreamingofspring #dreamingofsummer #rosegrowing #quarteredbloom #quarteredbloomform #flowers #flower #bloom #blooms #flowerphotography #flowersofinstagram #flowerpower #roselover #roselovers #fortheloveofroses #rosesofinstagram #rosestagram #rosephotography #roseconnoisseur (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZJ2Yy-OrP9/?utm_medium=tumblr
