It's been going round and round in my head. Although the song line actually goes "...those were the days of roses, of poetry and prose and ..." - a favorite song of mine from Tom Waits. But now that temps are back up around 20° and the sun has remembered where I live - everything in my garden is trying frantically to catch up. Which means, everything will explode into bloom at once and then it will be all over. Sigh.
The last winter we had was bad for my garden. I lost about 10 rose bushes and half a dozen clematis.
But these are the days of roses - won't you join me in the garden?
Love the way the light comes through the blooms here!
I hope the sun is kissing you, where ever you are!

Ohh, sind die schön, Renate! Ja, uns küsst die Sonne auch - fast 30 Grad. Ich liebe Sommer.
I'm so happy for you. Enjoy the sun and your beautiful garden. I'm enjoying a sunny day myself.
You are surrounded by beauty..breathe it all in and savour it! I adoooore the giant yellow climbing bush, I have always dreamed of that! At least I know where to go to find it!
These pictures make me want to come to your house to go to your yard to lie on my back to look up at the sky! Sigh!
Beautiful flowers! You can almost smell them.
Your roses and clematis are beautiful! Love the photo of the white roses and fern against the soft yellow wall!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful blooms. After heavy thunderstorms this afternoon the sun is out along with heat and humidity. It's summertime in New Orleans.!
As I am viewing your photos of sunshine and blooms, the rain is coming down here. That clematis is stunning - such a gorgeous velvety purple. The roses are wonderful too.

This blue clematis is owesome!!:)
What beautiful flowers! That Tom Waits song is one of my all-time favorites, too. :)
Thank you for the stroll through paradise! You have quite the green thumb! We lost lots of tropicals in FL and in Maryland, we actually lost a tree! because of the winter. Now the summer is proving to be as bad. Temperatures of 104 in Maryland in June is not normal!
Oh, I so love roses and we have a few bushes in our yard. But only those that do well in our heat and humidity... Love, Silke
There are so many flowers on blogs and while I love them so, none really stand out. I have to say these are exceptional Renate!!!
