Rosa ‘Louis Riel’ – a real gem found at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) in July of last year. Love the blue-green foliage and the pure white single flowers!  I’m not quite sure what the tag-along insect is on the uppermost bloom.

    Beautiful photo! I can’t quite make out the insect either.

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      It seems the general consensus is that it’s a spider of some sort…but I can’t seem to spot all the legs to be sure! 🙂

    So lovely, they look like they’re made of fine porcelain. 🙂

      I love that comparison…they really do look that way. 🙂

    Beautiful…I could almost smell the roses ;0) Happy Easter Weekend, Johanna

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      I can’t recall if they were fragrant…I saw (and smelled) a LOT of roses that week! 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful Easter!

    A wonderful rose ! I don´t know about the insect, it´s a bit spider like.
    Have a Happy Easter weekend!

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      Definitely a stunning bloom! I think you might be right about the critter being a spider, it’s a bit of a tricky view. I hope you had a lovely weekend.

    Lovely! I am looking forward to seeing the wild roses bloom again this year! Have a lovely Easter weekend Sheryl!

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      Ah…it still feels like it will be forever until the wild roses bloom! One of my favourite times as well – they are such exquisite flowers! Hope your Easter was wonderful as well.

    I couldn’t believe you had flowers already but then I saw the photo was from last summer!

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      LOL…I’m just trying to cheer myself up…we’ve had snow for the past two days and it’s way too cold to be even thinking about the garden! 🙂

    So lovely to see roses during this chilly Easter weekend! Happy holiday!

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      My thoughts exactly…we seem to be getting more snow now than we did the past two months! I hope you had a wonderful Easter despite the weather.

      1. clarepooley33 Avatar

        Yes, thank-you. We had a very good Easter. 🙂

    Beautiful flowers! Love the details in the picture where you can see the little insect (spider) on the edge of one of the flowers:)

    1. Sheryl @ Flowery Prose Avatar

      I didn’t notice the spider until I put these up on the computer…it fits in beautifully. 🙂

      Thanks so much for the follow – I’ve really been enjoying the photos on your blog and I’m glad to have found it!

    Exactly the kind of rose I like best, single-blooming and white.

    What a lovely pristine flower! I love glaucous foliage and I bet this would look fantastic grown with the pink single Rosa glauca; I wonder if it can tolerate a bit of shade, as R. glauca does?
