I do believe roses are my very favourite flowers. But despite my very best efforts I have not had great success with them in my garden. I tend to think our cold climate is to blame...
But thanks to the unusually mild winter it is a different story this year. In fact I believe my roses have never looked better...
This year the Austin rose Constance Spry is a favourite. I can hardly believe my luck that this beauty is in fact blooming in my garden. Oooh, the beauty... and the scent!
Another favourite is Henri Martin. Now neither Henry nor Constance have flowered for me the last two summers. But this summer it seems they both are making up for it.
The lovely rosy pink colour is not only evident in my garden, it seems to pop up in my house as well. Once again I am totally loving this rosy fabric and my trusty old granny blanket.
(While I have had my blog break Blogger seems to have changed quite a few things. As a result I do not seem to be able to create a bit of space between my photos and the text. Any ideas as to how that can be achieved...?)

Hey Mia, your Roses are beautiful, they are one of my Summer favourites and I love David Austin Roses.
Gorgeous colours and that granny square blanket is just beautiful.
It's a grey, damp day here, I love days like this, but your post has me longing for Summer and flowers, bees and blue skies........patience!!

So nice to see you back again, Mia - you were missed!
Blogger has changed a few things, but I've found that just fooling around a little with it leads to all sorts of solutions.
Yes I missed you too! So nice to see your lovely flowers and your beautiful afghan.
I'm soooo glad you are back. Your blog is one of my favorite and I love seeing the beautiful pictures you take.
Its good to have your lovely posts again....
You do have beautiful roses!!!
Ååå så koselig å lese bloggen din igjen!!
Elsker den nydelige hagen din :)
So GOOD to have you back ! I really-really miss you.....
The roses are indeed beautiful...I can just imagine the splendor of the rest of your garden at this time....
Hugs,
Teodora.
Great to have you back!
What a coincidence- I just posted about my first hexie-pillow today and you your hexagon pillows and quilts were a great inspiration for that.
Che piacere rileggerti Mia!
I'm very happy to have you back!

...wonderfull!!!
Herrliche Rosen, und der Sessel passt so gut dazu, und die Decke!
Ganz liebe Grüße

How very wonderful to have you back! xxx
I'm very glad that you're back! I love your blog! I waited almost every day and check if you are already! read older entries and I look forward to the new!
I greet the Polish
Hei Mia!
Ja, det har vært en god vinter for rosene og dine ser fantastiske ut. Constance Spry er nydelig, og jeg skjønner du gleder deg over den og Chanti som nå er i blomst. Nå har regnet gjort sitt inntog og her hos meg er det mange regntunge både roser og peoner. Jeg er litt redd for at en del av de historiske skal gå i ball og råtne bort, men vi får håpe det beste. Utrolig herlig med roseblomstring i hagen og man får bare nyte. Kos deg i din vakre hage, Mia.
Sommerklem fra Trine
Hello Mia ! I'm very happy you are back ! Your garden is really wonderful ! I'm a bit jealous...

Så vakkert. Rosene har ikke kommet skikkelig ut ennå her, bare Hurdalsrosen. Og den er mektig fin.
Så nydelig teppet i stolen.
Hei hopp
Randi
Så hyggelig Mia - har forsøkt og forsøkt å komme inn på siden din igjen mange ganger! Virkelig glad for at du er på nett igjen! Fortsett med det!
Hello Mia ! Happy to see you're back ! Your garden is such an example for my garden in Touraine ! I know Constance Spry ! It's one of favourite ! Laurence
Hej Mia
I am so glad you are back.
I did try to visit your blog several times.
Have a wonderful summer.
Lieve groetjes,
Takk og lov for at du er tilbake;) Jeg synes alltid det er så trist når folk slutter å blogge. Og din blogg var jo en av de aller første jeg oppdaget, men nå er du heldigvis tilbake;) Nydelige roser- her har bladlusen kost seg- men jeg har slått tilbake med grønnsåpevann og berget noe- men så var det regnet da;) Har noen austinroser- men ikke constance spry- den hadde jeg der vi bodde før...Hagen din er helt fantastisk- håper du vurdere å ha åpen hagen igjen;)
Such gorgeous roses, it must be a joy to walk thru your garden.
Hi Mia! I'm so glad that you come back, I'd like to tell you more, but my english is not so good ... I missed you!

Hi Mia
Lovely to see you back again, I missed your colour. :)

I am sooooo glad you are back, I have missed your blog so much, your lovely garden and beautiful creations! Ada :)
Hei, Mia, så fint at du er tilbake! Sikkert deilig med en liten hvilepause også; det er en tid for alt, som det heter.Gleder meg til å se og inspireres av nydelig bilder og vakre tekster om huset og hagen din fremover, og ønsker deg og din kjære en riktig god og varm sommer. Gode hilsner fra Tine S.
Mia I'm so glad you are back again blogging..I missed a lot your posts, so full of colours and the simple life in your farm. I Love your works, your garden and the new about sheeps and hens ;)
These rose and all you garden are simply fantastic!!
A big hug
paola
Jippi, du er tilbake, og med om mulig enda finere hagebilder enn før.
Begynte som flere andre her å tro at noe hadde hendt med deg, men nå ble jeg så glad :))
Jeg kjenner en gryende hageinteresse for tiden, jeg som bare har vært interessert i det som er innomhus. Hvis jeg kommer i gang med den stakkars neglisjerte hagen min, så vet jeg hvor jeg kan finne inspirasjon, liker så godt din sammensetning av blomster, stakittgjerdet og alt sammen.
Har savnet de nydelige lappeteppene dine også, din verdene er en ren drømme-seg-bort-verden for meg, jeg skulle ønske jeg var like flink å sy, og hadde like fin hage men det er akk så uoppnåelig for tiden, da er drømmen god å ha, og bloggen din gir næring til den. Mias landliv - min drøm ;)) Såå glad for at du er tilbake, Mia.
Ha en fortsatt fin sommeruke :))
Oh Mia, it's wonderful to see your blog back again. Really missed you!
Your garden looks so beautiful.
Welcome back. Your garden is lovely.
Herlighet jeg er glad for at du er tilbake igjen vennen :) Har savnet deg Mia. Klem fra Elin:)
Mia, it seems that just as you are welcoming the return of your beautiful roses, we readers are also very happy to welcome the return of your postings!
As Pondside has written, I have found that if I experiment a bit with where I "plant" my cursor and press the Enter key, I can usually get the spacing I want to see around my photos.

Endelig, så fint at du er tilbake.
Nydelige bilder, her er rosene også begynt å komme, har to klatreroser som er så fulle av knopper at jeg lurer på om de vil overleve.
Klem Laila
evviva evviva
Heisan, Nydlege bilder !! Flott hage og kjekt at damen er på blogg igjen !! Ha det godt.
Mia, I'm so glad you are back! It's really silly, but when you closed your blog, I felt like I'd lost a dear friend. I don't begrudge you taking a break, though. I'm glad you had a good break, and now we can see how your garden is growing! Everything is beautiful!
i missed your beautiful home and heavenly garden xx
So happy to see you back Mia, you were sorely missed. The roses are divine, I can almost smell them!

I'm very happy you're back here to post on your blog.
It is an inspiration to me and many others.
Greetings from Portudal,

Welcome back Mia! Your beautiful roses are a delight for the eyes. Illinois is in drought along with 26 other states in the U.S. It has been dreadfully hot as well, so my roses are cooked:-( I'm glad that roses are prospering well somewhere. My favorite is Double Delight. Do you know it?Hopefully we will get some rain, and there may be an autumn blooming of roses. So happy that you are back:-):-):-)
Dear Mia, I was just tipped by a dear friend that YOU ARE BACK!! HIP HIP HURRAY!! Welcome!!
Your stories and pictures are a joy to see and read!
Best wishes from Holland

Hi Mia! While you were away I had to start two new blogs to replace my full ones.
Loved seeing your roses. I too never have great success with roses but they are doing okay this year to spite our huge amount of rain. I am really pleased my precious Edith Holden rose survived the extreme winter frost we had. You can see it on my blog.
Hugs from Holland ~
Heidi
P.S. - blogger will not let me tell you how to fix the spacing problem so I would have to email you about it. It I can find your email I will send it to you separately. Silly blogger!
Hi Mia! I love your gorgeous crochet granny blanket! The colors are perfect. Your roses are very beautiful. Your blog is wonderful! Denise
Your flowers are so beautiful!
