... The Sum of the Parts

A short while ago I blipped one of my favourite roses, Mme Isaac Pereire. Here's one of the others, the wonderful bush rose Buff Beauty (the only rose of which I have more than 1 in my garden). It has 2 special qualities - the first is that as well as blooming prolifically in early summer, it also has a repeat flowering in late summer/early autum which is usually even more stunning. The second is that although each individual bloom smells lovely, it is typical of being a Hybrid Musk in that the smell of an entire bush wafting though the air on a warm, stillish summer's day is just gorgeous! And I just LOVE musk.
A classic example of the total being more than the sum of the parts.
