Roadside Roses....




The pink rose is a pasture rose that I found growing on the side of my road, the scent seemed kind of soapy to me but was very pleasant. The white rose is the multiflora rose and that one has a very nice scent too but is an invasive species. I read a little about it and found out it was brought over to North America by the settlers from Europe to remind them of home. A few years ago I never saw this rose but now it's growing everywhere, a huge bush in full bloom is kind of impressive to see. I included a wider shot to show how it got its name, the blossoms are in bunches on the plant.
