in a vase on Monday, paeonies with roses, Rose Golden Celebration, Rose Just Joey, Rose Super Trouper
I missed last Mondays ‘in a vase’ slot, and yet I had this lovely vase to share.
My neighbour Annette came across to see me last week, to see how I was getting on in the garden, with a bunch of dark pink peonies.””they are just some wind falls from the garden, I thought you might appreciate them”.
The next day mother Dorris called by for a cup of tea and gave me a few of her windfalls., grown by Father Dorris. Three roses, the soft golden coloured one is aptly named Golden Celebration, which has a strong rose scent. Super Trouper is the strong orange coloured one above and the softer coppery orange one below with the waved petals is Just Joey.
I have to tell you that they lasted a week before dropping copious petals to create a ring of soft colour around the base of the jug. How generous gardeners are, always willing to offer bundles of surplus vegetables, flowers or plants.
I hope you are lucky enough to receive a gift this week. In the meantime take a look at Cathy’s lovely blog https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com/2015/06/22/in-a-vase-on-monday-summer-breeze-makes-me-feel-fine to see what she and other bloggers have found to share in their vases this week.

These roses are beautiful and look perfect with that peony…it seems we have used some of the same beautiful flowers in our vases this week.
Deliveries of peonies and roses – I can’t think of anything better!
Hi and yes Kris, how right you are!
Love your windfall vase. Peonies and roses are made for sharing.
Thank you! Peonies and roses represent an English Summer somehow.
Lovely colours – how nice to get them all as gifts! Have a flowery week Dorris!
Thanks Cathy, you too.
Gifts from other gardeners are always treasures. I imagine that as well as being so colourful that the roses provided wonderful scent too.
Hi Anna, you are right the scent was good too. Golden Celebration has a strong rose aroma which is rather lovely.
A lovely, hot bouquet nicely cooled down by this beautiful jug – where did you find it?
Thanks Annette, the jug is modern but in a traditional style by a Staffordshire pottery called heron cross pottery. It came with a hand tied bouquet of English flowers . Glad you liked it 🙂
Flowers make such a lovely and welcome gift. These are beautiful.
Thanks. Who can resist free flowers!
Ooh how lovely Dorris – I was admiring Golden Celebration at Anglesey Abbey this week with my new appreciating yellow-roses eye. Perhaps the orange appreciation will come soon as Super Trooper is indeed gorgeous! Thanks for sharing
