Sweet Pretty/Astronomia last summer

Breeder: Meilland, France 2006

Op dit moment is het nog vroeg en donker buiten. De merel geeft
een prachtig fluitconcert en de wereld lijkt zo vredig. Hoe anders was
mijn gevoel gisteren tijdens mijn bezoek aan de supermarkt. Om 14.00 uur
waren de schappen al leeg. Onze president kan meerdere keren per dag
roepen om alleen dat mee te nemen wat je normaal ook doet omdat er genoeg
voedsel is, maar 
niemand wil luisteren, iedereen is in paniek. Vreselijk was het om te zien
hoe twee mensen ruzie maakten over de laatste pot met rode kool die er
nog over was door de hamsterwoede. Laten we hopen dat deze ellende snel
voorbij is.

At this moment it's still early in the morning. I am listening to a beautiful
concert given by the Blackbird outside. Everything looks so peacefull.
How different my feeling was visiting the supermarket yesterday. Our president
can tell 4 times a day that there is food enough and everyone should 
bring groceries home like they do normal but people are not listening
at 14.00 everything was gone. No bread, meat, vegetables, pasta, rice, no toiletpaper. it
was terrible to see 2 people fighting for the last pot of red cabbage. Lets hope this
panicsituation will be over very soon.


About this rose it's a beauty!! I love the single flowers with the red stamens.
A magnet to Bee's and other insects














I wish you all a good health stay safe

Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

    I am a bit reassured to see that in your country you have silly people too. Have a nice We

    1. Good morning Barbara,
      I take 1/3 of the roses off during pruning. Yes a lot of people are in panic here. What I don't understand
      is that so many people are going on a holiday at this moment by airplane, not knowing if they will have
      a possibility to fly back because a lot of country's are closing the airports. There problem, I know.
      Have a wonderful weekend ahead
      Enjoy the little things that makes you happy
      Stay safe and healthy.

  2. Hello dear Marijke
    It is a very nice rose, but I don´t have it.
    It is a very crazy situation, people are really mad, I think it is the same in all countries.
    Here on our little island it is not as bad, I am happy that I don´t live near a city.
    We will have to take care of each other. Stay calm
    The sun is shining this day, I will enjoy that. Have wonderful weekend
    Rosehugs Lisbeth

    1. Good morning dear Lisbeth,
      Yes sometimes it seems like the people are getting out of control. It's wonderful
      that you are living on a small Island. The situation will be different at your place.
      We've had a wonderful sunny day too yesterday. It was great to work a bit in the
      garden and forget about all the trouble. It was a great feeling that the muscles
      that were a sleep whole winter are used again (fun). The weeds have been doing
      well during wintertime so enough to do today in the garden. Take care of yourself!!
      Have a wonderful sunday

  4. I thought that emptying the shelves it was something only Romanians do. I am relieved to see it's happening in other countries too .
    About the rose, it looks awesome from close range. The bush is not so attractive to me but all in all a really nice rose.
    Have a good weekend, Marijke!

    1. Good morning dear Adriana,
      No this behaviour is to see everywhere in the world. I hope we all can breath again and telling eachother
      how happy we are that things are normal again!! I don't want to post only close-ups of the rose but give
      also an impression how the shrub is in total. Making a close-up of one flowers is easy to do but for me it's
      not easy to photograph the whole shrub (fun).
      Stay safe in a good health. Have a wonderful sunday

  5. We are going through very difficult times everywhere.
    Beautiful photos to relieve our hearts of so many worries because of COVID-19. It is important to remain calm, but it is not easy when you see the numbers of people affected and who have died worldwide.
    Have a nice week and stay safe and healthy.
    Hugs from Portugal

    1. Good morning dear Maria,
      It's not easy to stay calm with the terrible situation we are worldwide in. It's great to breath in moments
      of beauty to get a bit of positive thoughts. The terrible thing is that there are still a lot of people who don't
      take the advise serious. Let's hope the situation can be controled and all the worries will be history very
      soon.
      Take care!! stay safe and healthy!!
      Rosehugs Marijke
