Lavender and Roses

Nothing defines an English summer like a beautifully scented rose and the combination of roses and lavender is a marriage made in heaven.  The roses started into flower early this year but just seem to keep on going and they are getting better and better. 

blush noisette - so pretty and prolific

creme brulee - delicate

grandma - pretty in pink

etoile de holland? - amazing scent and deepest red

As for the lavender well, what can I say, a picture paints a thousand words, so judge for yourself...
