It's our darling Robyn's birthday today. I wasn't able to drive to the house or pick a huge bouquet like last year, so this morning I picked a few of my favorites to display in the kitchen window in honor of our bar maid/waitress/dear friend!!!

From left to right:

1) Ohno! What, you think he'd miss it? Paaaaaaaaaaalease.
2) First pink one: I think this is Perfume Delight. It's smells devine and is a great bloomer and vase rose. I adore it.
3) This is an English rose. A David Austin called "The Pilgrim." It's one of the most perfect shrub roses I've ever known and ideal for you my dear Robyn because it's relentless.
4) The white rose is another David Austin rose. "Winston Churchill." It blooms best in spring and fall, but who cares because it smells like a baby! Yes, it's true, I've been know to bury my nose in the bloom for long periods of time. It's a perfect white rose, but it doesn't last long in a vase. Poof, it's gone, as is a dear, sweet child to the next phase of his/her life.
5) The last is another "The Pilgrim."

Happy Birthday Robyn,

from all of us at the

Wild Onion.

We love you so much

and wish you a long, happy

and healthy life.

Much love,

"The Gang"
