And the snow keeps a steady paste

And in the meantime, we keep dreaming about roses.
Og i mellomtiden drømmer vi om roser.

This cute thing is called Regensberg.
A small and not so tall, rose. But the flowers are really worth bending down for.
En liten og ikke så høy rose. Men blomstene er virkelig verd å bøye seg ned for.

And then we move on to: Rhapsody in Blue
A lot of people are curious about this rose. It is often described as a blue rose, but obviously it`s not. The colour is wonderful at first, but tends to turn grey after some hours in the sun. This can be placed in partial shadow for best result. But it is strong!
Mange er nysgjerrige på denne rosen. Den er ofte beskrevet som blå. Men det er den jo tydeligvis ikke. Fargen er flott til å begynne med, men har en tendens til å bli gråaktig etter noen timer i solen. Denne kan med fordel plasseres i lett skygge for bedre resultat.

I just cant say so much about this one yet. It`s fairly new, and have not shown itself from it`s best side. But the flowers are wonderful!
Ja jeg kan ikke si så mye om denne her enda. Den er ganske ny og har ikke vist seg fra sin beste side enda. Men blomstene er utrolig vakre.
