we returned from our week at the beach to find that some of our roses had taken a second breath and produced some late summer blooms…
so I did a little clipping to tidy the garden a bit…
two climbing roses for the center (pink China Girl and red fragrant Don Juan)…
with pink Fairy Roses …variegated privet leaves and a few bits of white pine for today’s Mandala Monday with Dawn of Girl Unwinding…
farewell September ♥

I love your mandalas. I am thinking it would be a happy occupation to make them, first choosing the flowers and leaves, then arranging them in a pleasing pattern..

I just now logged onto my blog and saw your comment, then saw your post listed on my sidebar. I must have slept through late yesterday and today, because I completely forgot about Mandala Monday. And of course, I had nothing prepared. Looks like Dawn didn’t make it, either.
This is a beautiful mandala, all pink and green. It actually reminds me of springtime. It might also be a Christmas mandala, with your choice of “backgrounds,” the green plate. Truly lovely, and well thought through.
Thanks for making Mandala Monday memorable for me.

How wonderful to be welcomed home by your roses. I love the photo of the mandala in progress – the heart bowls filled with rose, the extra greenery and shears. And, the plate is a favorite color of mine (is it Fiesta?) Thank goodness for photography so you can preserve all your fantastic mandalas at least in images. Now, if you could just work on incorporating the scent into those images!!!

Roses are the most rewarding of all plants…if taken care of, as yours are. Unfortunately they are not for my climate and dreadful soil. Still, I have them vicariously via your mandalas and photos. Pity I don’t have the perfume.

Stunning colour choises ,my dear friend…the flowers jump from that turquise plate ,and it looks so beautiful.
As I wrote on fb, I also still have roses flowering, not that many, but they are beautiful, I hope they will last a little while , but know that they predicted night frost, the time can be limited !!
Have a lovely afternoon and evening Patty,- I send you a warm hug.
