Deliciously scented, roses seem to cast a spell on both small and large garden. They always catch attention even those of the smallest variety like the one above. So compact that I needed to move very close to fully discover its richness. It's just surprising to see little things showing off their beauty.

The most exciting of the flowering plants. Always been considered difficult to grow, but once their cultivation has been mastered it could be said that the grower had graduated.
