Okay, I could resist posting some of our Yellow Roses! These beauties opened up over the weekend and with rain coming they won’t be here for long – how sad!
If you paint, please feel free to use these photographs as inspiration – would love to see your painting if you do a piece.
Ah the joys of Spring! Mary

I don’t paint, but can I show these photos to my mom? She will be delighted to see beautiful yellow roses, since it’s her favorite! Thank you for a wonderful inspiring day 😀
Hi Nessy San, thank you for your wonderful comment. I hope you do show your Mom – I love roses and there is nothing more beautiful than bright yellow roses at the start of Spring. So glad to hear from you – I have a lovely white rose picture that I’ll be posting soon. Have a wonderful day!
Very pretty pictures of roses Mary. Beautiful flowers!
Thanks Jess, appreciate your gracious comment!
Ah, if I had those roses here! But I have them through you – that’s lovely!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment – I love roses. I’m always in awe of their beauty, especially the heirlooms with their big fragrance.
Beautiful!!!
Thank you Rexlin so much! There is something really beautiful about seeing big yellow roses after a long, cold winter ~
OH my just gorgeous…to bad they don’t last longer than they do☺
Thanks for your wonderful comments – you are so right. We are having a storm right now and I’m afraid most of the ones that have been opened are getting smashed – aw, such is the life of a rose.
Are these in your garden? How beautiful!!! I would love to paint them. In fact, I will try to start on the painting today. Hope to upload the painting by the end of this week. 😀
Hi Patricia, so glad that you’re going to paint these little wonders – can’t wait to see them. Yes they are from our garden – our deep reds are about to open, but with the really low temps last night and into today we probably won’t see them until Friday or Saturday (some of these have heads that are at least 6-7 inches across)!
They are huge!
I know – wait, our temps are going back into the 80’s this weekend and hopefully the reds will open and I’ll get a picture for you.
Great! sounds good 😀
Beautiful roses !
Step by step spring is coming here too. 🙂
Hi Petronette, so glad you like the roses. I’m glad to hear you are finally experiencing the first signs of Spring, there is nothing like that wonderful “new” feeling.
Absolutely gorgeous, when they bloom has to be a special time for you.
Hi Charlie, thank you for your kind words. These are really special to our neighbors as well. Thanks!
Thank you Mary. I just may take you up on your offer if you don’t mind!
