Time to look at roses again, especially now that they are out there everywhere you look... And who does roses better than Au Nom de la Rose in Paris?
Maybe they're the best rose sellers on the planet.
Where else can you feel like you're invited into someone's private garden while still standing in the street?And their prices aren't extra-terrestial either. Oh the ROSES! Multi-colored bouquets... Are these peonies mixed in..? Breathe in the scent. BONJOUR PARIS!
I love Peonies and Roses and Dahlias. If ever you are in Seattle, check out the Dahlias in the Botanical Garden and at Pike's Market. They are absolutely spectacular.
a reader of mine just pointed out a very funny coincidence between our blogs yesterday... great minds, eh?! http://maitresse.typepad.com/maitresse/2008/06/umberto-eco-the-name-of-the-rose-why-to-know-what-one-book-says-you-must-read-others-at-times-this-can-be-so-often-book.html
Carole, the photo where you query "are these peonies" - they are not. Just a different variety of roses (more like a David Austin climbing rose. The scent of these roses is intoxicating! Patricia
Je viens de rentre de la France. Il pleuvait pendant trois semaines, mais cela ne m’empecher pas de prendre plus que 800 photos, surtout les roses ! Voila quelques prises de Giverny. Le jardin de Monet m’épate chaque fois que j’y vais !
Oh lucky day! Caloo calais! THREE new posts! Well, new to me! So sorry to fall so far behind. As to the debate: ranunculus or old-fashioned rose, I fall into the rose camp. The pink one looks like my Reign de Saba when it just starts to open. And, after all, it is at Au Nom de la Rose. Occam's razor.
Those rose flowers are simply gorgeous, specially the multi colored bouquet, I'm loving it. I like your blog by the way, it's my first visit here, and 'be back to check more of your posts. Thanks :)
Oh Paris Paris! What a fantastic city, everything is so inspiring and romantic. Those bouquets are all amazing and not so expensive at all, but my fav are roses!
Bonjour ! I’m Carol Gillott, a former NYer living on Île Saint-Louis in a 21 meter chambre de bonne. As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them
to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.
Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…
Love the tiny detailed roses on that cup. Beautiful roses--they're stunning!
