Saying “I like roses” is a bit like saying “I live in England.” Just as there are so many places in England, there are so many types of roses! This one is native to the Far East, but grows well in Britain. Known as Rosa Rugosa, it is easy to recognise by its thin, paper-like petals and sweetish scent. It also comes in white and pale pink varieties.

ooh that is so pretty. what a great snap.
I prefer these to the really flouncy ones. Very pretty 🙂
I thought that this one is more connected with the poppies than with roses. I love them because when you take photos of them they look like an origami work on a really thin subtle paper. Thanks for the info =) #mysundayphoto
