I adore the print on this dress because it has lilac roses on it. I was only young when I first remember seeing the rose "Blue Moon" and fell in love with it almost straight away, a pale silvery lilac rose. The shame is they are not prolific flowerers in fact it is not uncommon to only get a single rose from a bush. So blue moon really did happen once in a blue moon. Fryer's (one of my favourite breeders of roses) solved this problem with the improved "Twice in a Blue Moon". The flowers are on a long stem, and are pefect for cutting and the fragrane is strong.
I can't help mself when it comes to roses, I think I will end up like Ms Threadgoode in Fried Green Tomato's with picture of roses stuck all over my walls. I love the delicate flowers, the colours, the smell and strangely I love the thorns. There is nothing more amazing than the heady smell of roses just after a thunderstorm in a hot summer. It might be a while until the roses start to flower, but they will :)
