Roses, SMU Style
There are two roses that are found growing everywhere on Cape Ann, The wild rose and Rosa Rugosa. I like to search out the ones with little critters to add some extra interest.

Oh my, those sweet roses truly draw the critters in, me too. lovely photos.
Love them all because of the bugs of course but that last one is stunning. :)
Very beautiful Roses with and without bugs and lovely raindrops too.
I used to have the pink one on my old property Steve, but that white one is really pretty too!
I think at least one of your bugs has shown up on my poppy. I like your shots of the roses. They used to use a variation of these as hedges up here. When fully grown, not even a bull could get through them and children had a hard time. LOL
Naturally some of them have rain drops.
The smell of them is so powerful, I just love it! We'll enjoy them while we can!
These are delightful. Their fragrance is really wonderful. I find them on the beaches here.
I can smell them! Gorgeous shots....
Wow, we missed some of our roses while in Jamaica.. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices ya know. Wonderful shots, as always. Looks like they survived all the rain over the last week.
Wow, those are really lovely - all of them! I can see you have had some rain also. And I always enjoy the little visiters, a bug or a bee! They are a bonus!
Wow...beautiful blog and your photos are inspiring! Glad I found this today!
Beautiful flowers and I love the insects. The water drops are always a great addition.
Have a wonderful week,
