My garden is truly coming to life at the moment, the rose bushes are dotted with beautiful flowers. This gives me the perfect opportunity to enter some photos in Petals' contest #rosesopenweekend.
This particular rose bush is fairly new in the garden, a smaller petal variety with differing colours. This year it is producing flowers and growing in height at a healthier rate than last year, so I think it is safe to say it's happy now! It lives near a grape vine, hence the chicken wire. Just as well as it could use the support now it is getting bigger.
I hope you all like my entry! If you are interested in entering your flower photos to a contest then I would absolutely suggest you check out Petals. They have varying contest themes and if you don't have any images that fit those you can always enter in their #flowers contest, which encompasses all of them!
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend,
Gardeningchef
They are so nice! I so envy you your garden :) I believe these are edible roses, aren't they?

You can make candied rose petals, decorate a cake, you can also use them in cocktails or infuse the vinegar. The options are endless :) try to do some quick google search and you'll find plenty of great recipes. Good luck with testing and let me know how you'll like them :)

I love the vibrant colors in this rose. I imagine the whole bush in years to come will be just breathtaking. I have a similar one that is pink and just love it.

It sure is a beautiful rose bush, I am loving all the different colours. I love traditional red roses (which I have all around the garden!) but this bush is a welcomed change :) thanks for your feedback @sunscape!

Espectaculares y hermosas flores, tan solo con verlas te llena de frescura la mente con sus colores. Verlas en vivo debe ser un espectáculo, espero que tu jardín siga floreciendo para que cada día sea mas y mas hermoso. Que Dios y Universo te llenen de bendiciones a ti a tus flores.

Beautiful photography yet again @gardeningchef!
I love the second shot especially, so crisp and defined.
The flowers themselves look super healthy, they'd make lovely corsages.

Thank you very much @magiccleatus, I am glad you liked my photos. The rose bush is fairly young and this is the best show of flowers yet! I agree they would make very pretty corsages :)

Thank you @archeothot! It sure is lovely.
I have seen the steemitnamechallenge, am I correct in thinking that I am supposed to write a post about the origin of my Steemit username? If so there is not much to tell about mine, it is relatively self explanatory so I fear I won't be able to come up with much of interest!
