   I love the pink roses! There is a hybrid Tea Rose called “Princess of Wales” that is very pretty =) Hope you’ll have a romantic Valentine’s Day

      The pink one is my favorite of these, too. But I hope you also checked out the coral one in the Raindrop on Rose post. That’s my overall favorite of the Regent’s Park roses. https://travelingwithsweeney.com/2011/08/28/raindrops-on-roses/

   Beautiful pictures, my favorite is the pink rose with the raindrops 🙂

      I love that pic, too. I would have put it first, but wanted to have “Roses are Red” as my title. 🙂

   Cathy,
   Wow. Thanks for the reminder. Awesome shots. Gotta run and do some shopping !

      Get going, Mike! Here’s a suggested shopping list: red roses, chocolates and champagne!

   Anyone can win my heart with an ivory rose – I love their classic beauty. Fantastic shots Cathy.

      Thanks, Leigh! I think the ivory ones are classic beauties, too.

   I love roses and these are beautiful! I can’t believe you have pics of so many in so different colors 🙂 There’s a rose garden outside of Paris I went to about 10 years ago and it was amazing. The smell of intoxicating because there were so, so many roses.
   1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 9, 2012 at 12:53 pm

      Roses of all colors capture my attention. The garden at Regent’s Park is really lovely.

   Roses are nature in perfection! Your pictures really captured the beauty of the rose. And you are so kind to send us all a valentine 🙂

      My pleasure 🙂 — Thanks for the nice compliment.

   Aww I was hoping for a little poem there at the beginning — first thing I saw was “Roses are red…” 🙂
   1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 9, 2012 at 12:55 pm

      That was my trick to get you to read the post! I did actually think of a little poem, but it’s best left untold. 🙂

    So beautiful especially with droplets of water. I love the ivories.
    1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 10, 2012 at 10:28 am

       I love the raindrop effect – glad that you do, too.
11. Jessica February 9, 2012 at 2:03 pm

    Simply lovely photos! Makes me long for spring when my roses will bloom (and reminds me that I have to go out and do some pruning, if I expect that to happen.)
    1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 10, 2012 at 10:30 am

       Thanks. Nice that you have roses. My parents always had a beautiful rose garden. I’ve tried to keep a rose plant at my house, but the deers in the area love to eat them.
12. Laurel February 9, 2012 at 2:03 pm

    You’re so kind and gorgeous photos! I can send you my address so you know where to send the chocolates 😉
    1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 10, 2012 at 10:31 am

       When I come to Munich, I will hand deliver chocolates to you!

    What beautiful roses. Thanks, Cathy.
    Happy Valentine’s Day!

       Thank YOU, Marcia. 🙂
14. Mary @ The World Is A Book February 9, 2012 at 9:55 pm

    Very lovely photos Cathy! The raindrops add such uniqueness to them. I’m partial to the red and pink. Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
    1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 10, 2012 at 10:32 am

       Thanks, Mary. It was lucky to be there just after the rain had stopped.
15. Abby February 10, 2012 at 6:22 am

    Awww Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Those roses are beautiful.
    1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 10, 2012 at 10:32 am

       Thanks, Abby — and the same to you!
16. Vera Marie Badertscher February 10, 2012 at 9:58 am

    Thanks Cathy. I love you too, even though I didn’t send you roses! I could never pick between the various roses, and I do wish that my computer screen had a scratch and sniff feature!
    1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 10, 2012 at 10:34 am

       Thanks, Vera. That would be a very nice feature for photos like these!
17. Dick Jordan February 10, 2012 at 3:39 pm

    I vote for the pink!
18. Anwar February 10, 2012 at 3:43 pm

    The ivory ones I think are my favorite. I really like the photo you took of them, and the color.
19. Nancie February 11, 2012 at 12:02 am

    All of these are beautiful, Cathy. Impossible for me to pick a favorite.
20. The World of Deej February 11, 2012 at 5:58 am

    Great pics…love how you can see the droplets of water on them…
21. Andrew Graeme Gould February 11, 2012 at 3:18 pm

    What a beautiful colour selection, Cathy!!!
22. Ayngelina February 12, 2012 at 9:08 am

    Even though all flowers are pretty I must admit that I find roses the most beautiful – especially those that are not red.
23. Michael February 15, 2012 at 12:24 pm

    Roses! hahaha. When we were sitting in a cafe in Genoa, there were at least 5 rose sellers who approached us. Mrs Easy Hiker had to twist my arm to buy her one (really out of pity for the seller). But she eventually gave it to the girl who served us coffee, who was extremely delighted getting a red rose.
    1. Cathy Post authorFebruary 16, 2012 at 4:17 pm

       What a nice gesture — roses can make my day, too.
