A Rose Grows in Brooklyn

While this is definitely a lifestyle site, I love to share photography here to inspire you too look at beauty in different ways.  Roses are an unending source of beauty for the R&I site.  This rose is 'Gentle Herminone', I have featured it before, but each year it blooms the buds get more and more mature.  It smells like citrus and just makes me happy when looking at its ruffles.  Doesn't it?
