I am in love with…
Roses
I have Roses in both my gardens. Here at our Desert Home and also at our LakeHouse.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner… what better way to fill the air with Romance …then with Roses!
The easiest way but yet sometimes the most elegant is to just place them in a vase.
Just yesterday I went to our desert Rose Garden and picked a few roses …knowing that I would be using them in my Valentine Decor.
The little, tiny bug flew away before I brought this tender soft Rose in. ☺️
Once again I added them to a vase and placed them on our coffee table.
Styled with vintage silver …gives this vignette a romantic feel.
Don’t throw your Roses away…
when they begin to tire or wilt.
I simply dry them and add them to my decor.
Displayed in this tea cup adds a bit of whimsy and a shabby chic effect.
No Roses?
Then head to the grocery store and purchase many Roses and fill a bowl with them. Simple but yet quite elegant.
Have you begun decorating for Valentine’s Day? Do you have Roses in your gardens?
I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your Valentine’s Decor.
These gorgeous pink roses just made me smile this morning. I don’t grow roses but you have given me my rose fix for the day. Thank you!
I never grew Roses until I moved out here in Arizona. They do so well here. My Mom planted some at the LakeHouse and I have added more. I just love when God gives me blooms!
Thanks you for the visit… and I’m glad you smiled when seeing the pretty pink petals!
What a nice treat this post is on an icy winter day. I love roses, too, although these days I grow mostly the shrub variety that needs little tending.
Oh I sure hope you can keep warm with a hot cup of something… And dream about the roses that will bloom this Spring in your gardens.
It’s a little early for Roses here in the Sonoran Desert … it’s why these two were quite the Surprise!
Thank you for the visit! ☺️
Your roses are beautiful, Nance! You have created some very lovely vignettes. I especially love the silver and roses…. how stunning! Happy Sunday, sweet friend!!!
Thank you very much for your kind words Shannon. These Roses were quite the surprise yesterday in our garden. It’s a little early for them but what a treat!
Happy Sunday to you dear Shannon! ☺️
Nancy, they’re absolutely beautiful.
I’m glad you enjoyed. Just a little bit of flower charm for you and others. ☺️
These are all beautiful, Nancy.
Good Morning Mr. Tim and thank you so much for enjoying the roses! ☺️
Absolutely lovely! Have you ever been to the west valley to see the farm fields filled with rose bushes? Although there isn’t a rose I don’t like, I’m still drawn to red roses with yellow coming in a close second. ❤
My dear friend Ingrid… who has taken me to so many places here in the Valley and else where…
I believe, if I am not mistaken, that when YOU took me to the Wildlife World Zoo we slowly drove by those fields filled with Roses! (Say “fields and filled” real fast…lol!) They were a sight to behold. I had Sweet Man take me again when we went for an Air Show at Luke AFB but sadly they were not in bloom.
See… what I said the other night… YOU have shown me many “a places” here in our beloved Desert! Thank You! 💗
Haha! Hey, let’s go to the Wildlife Zoo again and see if the roses are in bloom 😀
I’m in! 😃
I, too, love rose. These are beautiful rose photos. Before we moved here, I planted three dozens of rose bushes.
I love the bowl that filled with pink rose. 🙂
Thank you Amy! 😊
Your roses are gorgeous Nancy. I’m sure your home smells amazing. Sadly I don’t grow any, but I’m thinking I should.
I never did until I moved to Arizona. Now I have them at both houses! 💗
Glad you enjoyed!😊
💜
I love roses too Nancy! I haven’t ever grown them in my yard though…luckily they are available at affordable prices these days, and wow, I love your “rose bowl!”
Jenna
Yes they are affordable now and can be enjoyed year round!
Thank you for the love! 💗
So pretty!!! I love the idea of drying them and adding them to your decor.
Your pretty pink roses have brightened my day. Frigid temperatures and deep snow. Any roses here are well tucked in for the winter so I shall enjoy yours a great deal.
Glad to oblige! 🤗🤗🤗
I can’t believe you can grow roses in the desert! Your pictures are beautiful Nancy!
Thank you! They thrive out here! Thank you for stopping by! 😊
I really like that first photo.
We have a series of long stem roses lining our walkway up to our front door…all in their first spring bloom. Great post!
Oh Kirt… that has to be amazing to see in person.
I think you should paint a picture of that. ☺️
Thank you for enjoying the roses! ☺️
I love your posts, Nancy, and your photos! They both brighten my day. 🙂
I’m so glad they do! These posts make my happy as well!
I have had a day trying to take care of another Website I am in charge of. I may share this misery in a post very soon! Lol!
🤣
I ditto mitzybricker’s comment 🙂
Thank you so much! How sweet of you to say! ☺️
Nancy, your pink roses are gorgeous and they look so elegant placed simply in a vase. My knockout roses are confused, our winter has been mild and they have a few blooms, but now it is has turned cold. I loved your dried roses in the cup.
Thank you for sharing Valentine’s inspiration ❤️. Wishing you a delightful week!
Oh Pam… how nice of you to stop by during this difficult week for you and your family.
Thank you for the love! 💗
The roses are beautiful. I especially like the photos of the roses in bud vases. The bud vases allow each bloom to shine in its beauty.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Love roses and wish I had a garden here with them. Instead I grow herbs to cook with. When DH finishes fixing my computer, I will be working on a zine of roses I’ve been trying to make for some years now.
Oh Looking forward to that! 😊
These roses look so adorable Nancy 🙂
Thank you!
Loved your ideas. I too have a lot of roses on my terrace but I used to discard them when they used to you know wither down. I’ll try your ideas
Glad to hear!
I love roses too. In fact, I always have a least one rose-scented candle in the house. I typically like to burn it at night, because it feels so peaceful. This was a lovely blog post to read first thing in the morning! 🌹🌹
I’m so glad you enjoyed! And I’m so happy you came over for a visit!
