Wow, how beautiful it is! And I completely agree with it.
roses were for old ladies and anything remotely pink was discarded immediately. As an adult I still don't vibe with pink clothing but, there is something about roses that reaches directly into my heart.
My mother and others tried to give me pink but still I like blue, green, black ... ;) Ja but now I'm the age I love roses. I've fallen in love with roses especially its smell in the last years.
I look forward to reading your recipes as I will plant some in the last minutes after I'm back from Hive Fest. I try to get damask rose for the :)
