Decorating With Roses For The Summer 2021

Decorating with roses for the summer brings joy.  It's fun putting them in a vase on a cake plate for heighth.  Purple heather is a nice compliment with shades of pink. 
I also love to put roses in the living room.  I purchased the vase at a consignment store in Dallas.  My wing back chairs have a rose pattern.  
It's nice to grow roses in the yard so you can pick them for seasonal color.  
Roses make a wooden bench look like France.  
Pink roses are my favorite color.  
 
Having roses in our yard reminds me of our travels to France.
You see rose vines growing on the side of a brick wall.
Roses come up each year so they are very little cost.  Lets celebrate the beauty of roses in a Texas Summer.


Roses make an outdoor summer celebration look festive. 
Roses bring peace to your garden.
Take a deep breath and you can smell the aroma.  
Pick some rose petals for your bath.
