“A thing of beauty is a joy forever……..”- John Keats.
Common garden roses found in Bosnia
A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. – John Keats.
Centre row left rose with a peachy orange rose pink hue is known over here as ‘ Marshall Tito’s Rose’, my daughter liked to call it the ‘Barbie Rose’ due to the colours! 🙂
The general favourite among the locals is still the antique red rose.
Spread the word! 😉 :

I was having diffculty connecting to your site until now and find these beautiful roses at the same time my garden is producing the best flowers in years. I’m beginning to believe these flowers are an international language we all can speak and inherently understand. The beauty of the Balkans comes through strongly again.
