Lovely pink, or red that glows

“Best and dearest flower that grows,
Perfect both to see and smell;
Words can never, never tell
Half the beauty of a Rose -
Buds that open to disclose
Fold on fold of purest white,
Lovely pink, or red that glows
Deep, sweet-scented. what delight
To be Fairy of the Rose!”

Poem by Cicely Mary Barker

This collage is made up of the three different colour roses in my bouquet. The soft red, medium pink and perfumed (in the largest square) and the tender pink rose from yesterday.
