double delights

P1010012a

My husband I agree that the Double Delight rose is our very favorite. God made these extra special with the buttery yellow and pink combination. They smell heavenly, too! We love cutting them and making arrangements for the house. Sweet pleasures of summer…..

  21. I am with you on this one. Double delight is just exquisite. We have to cut them in the morning here in SoCal because the sun just burns them up but the color and fragrance can't be beat. Your arrangement is lovely. Blessings, Patty

  34. Becky,
    The roses are beautiful! And the "Double Delight" is also one of my favorites. I lost the one I had in a move several years ago. I tried to transplant it but it didn't make it. I'll have to get another one someday.

    Blessings,
    Sheila
